the 4th of July. My plan is to get a nice USDA Prime brisket from Sams club, apply salt and pepper, and then sous vide at 135 for 48 hours. After that I will put it in an ice bath for 30 min while I get the smoker ready, and finish for 3 hours in the smoker with some mesquite or hickory.
But just to make the Texans even more angry, I am worried about fitting the brisket in a container for sous vide, so I might cut it up into smaller pieces (maybe just split the flat and the point).
Anybody had success with something like this?
