Weather is keeping me away from the smoke today. Man, I wish I didn't envy your weekend as much as I do right now! Have fun and keep tempting us with wonderfully cooked beef!

After 42 hours in the bath and a 1/2 hour shock, it is time to part ways....

This weekends experiment calls for a test to find out if post SV smoke makes a difference, and if so... how so? I prepped this flat as normal, being a good trim.. a one hour salt brine and then added coarse ground pepper and a brisket rub. I also kissed this flat with a little horsey mix pre- SV but before I dropped it in the bath, I smoked for one hour on the pellet eater. The bath was 155* for 42 hours and then shocked for 1/2 hour in an ice bath. One of the twins went immediately to sear. The other twin went back onto the kettle with a competition mix of pellets. The internals on both coming out of shock was 85*. I will take the second twin back to about 135* on the kettle and then do a final sear to compare the twins for taste and tenderness. After that, in the name of science, I will do several blind studies on the subject to determine what the next step in this process shall be.

I shall return shortly.
