Greetings!
I've done brisket using sous vide twice, basically following Serious Eats technique, 155F for about 24-36 hours, then smoking to finish. [http://www.seriouseats.com/2016/08/f...q-brisket.html] The technique works quite well. However, I'd like more smoke flavor. The Serious Eats article mentions that Meathead prefers smoking first for more smoke flavor, "Well, according to folks like Meathead Goldwyn, author of the eponymous book on the science of barbecue, the flavorful compounds in smoke will adhere to and penetrate raw meat much better than they will with cooked meat.".
And I recall, and even have in my notes from last December, that there was a recipe for smoking first, then sous vide, then finishing briefly on the smoker at the end for better bark. But I can't find this recipe anywhere! I thought it was on AmazingRibs, but searching here isn't yielding anything.
Does anyone know where the recipe may be? Or even better, has anyone tried the "smoking first" method for sous vide brisket?
Thanks!
