tissue doesn't really break down until 160, but apparently it will break down at lesser temps with enough time.

Texans might want to ignore this cuz it’s just going to piss you off, but I am looking at sous vide for a brisket on

Not just Texans think you are nuts

Why would Texans be mad at you for this?

we know, or you would have said "all y'all". You used the singular "y'all"

Dumb question. When I smoke brisket I take the temp to 202 ish. Why so low?

The sous vide guide I read said 135 so I don’t know. I figured maybe the extra time would still break it down

I think that's what happens in a sous vide. You're cooking it for such a long

I'm interested in the results. Why ice if you're going to smoke right after?

Tricky

6/25/19 12:46pm

It’s to prevent it from overcooking

cheezedawg

Since brisket normally gets cooked to approx 200 degrees, I don't think

cracka

OK. The interwebs bear this out

Tricky

6/25/19 5:33pm

Usually the shock is to prevent it from continuing to cook, but you're putting

I was skeptical of sous vide until we bought one. It makes amazing meat.

I got one for Father's Day. I haven't tried it out yet, but I'm looking forward to doing so.

Yeah, you don't understand sous vide, like at all

I certainly do, just love saying this cause it makes you boilers mad.

So you say stupid stuff to irritate ppl, fun times

Why? What is the motivation? Is your brisket too dry? Too much work?

BostonCougar

6/25/19 12:52pm

Mostly because my friend has done this several times and said it’s the best brisket he’s ever had

cheezedawg

6/25/19 12:53pm

You got played. It was the only brisket he has ever had.

Would it take more smoke if you smoked it up front?

Why not just get a bigger container so you don't have to cut it?

crack

6/25/19 12:54pm

I was shopping on amazon for big containers earlier today

They used to make 2 and 3 gallon ziplock bags. Those would be perfect.

jdub

You could try this and see if they're big enough:

jdub

Would turkey bags work for Sous Vide? We have never tried using anything this

crack

6/25/19 1:07pm

Probably, just twist-tie the top up securely.

jdub

6/25/19 1:08pm

One of my buddies does this, cuts down the time he needs to smoke it by a lot. And still turns out

I have no problem with it as I’m sure it will be great if you finish it correctly. Use a big Coleman cooler for it.

I don't think you will get it nearly hot enough to break down and render the fat

Let us know how it turns out.

crack

This makes more sense to me since they set the temp at 180 for ribs.
