For most tough meats I go 60-72 hrs at 135F.
You can go with higher temp for shorter time for a more traditional texture but that depends on your preference. (The SVQ brisket recipe on AR is a good example).
To do pulled beef I always go the full 72 hrs.

sounds like I need to crank the temp a bit on the next cook then and see what if the texture changes. Then start playing with time

Polarbear777 what temp do you run for those 72hr cooks? Is it still in the 135°F range or something else? What is the difference if you only cook 48hrs vs 72hrs?
My girlfriend liked it, but said she'd like the texture more like brisket than corned beef. To do that, I think should I bump the temps... right? That should give it a more "done" texture. I was thinking about running the next one at 155°F for 36 hours and see what happens.
After all, what's the worst that could happen? I end up with more chuck roast?

I think he’s implying that’s longer will fix the problem.
I go at least 48 and usually 72.

Chech out Troutman s SVQ brisket.
Might need to go longer on the sous vide for firmer texture.

The one thing I learned is that I HAVE to start cooking chucks two at a time. We haven't had any leftovers when I cook them...

So I did my first SVQ last night. I did a cheap chuck roast from Wally World. I forgot to dry brine it, but it still came out well.

Based on this article I set the temp at 135 and let it roll for 36 Hours. When that was done, I put it into an ice water bath then into the fridge. After work yesterday, I pulled it out of the bag, put some MMD on it with a healthy dose of pepper and then onto the traeger at 200°F. Brought it up to 130°F Internal Temp and flipped it onto my gasser for a sear.
I think it came out FANTASTIC considering that there was minimal effort and it was spread out. I was surprised at the texture of the meat. It was definitely tender, but kinda chewy like corned beef. It wasn't bad, just different. Anybody else have that happen? Anybody else getting a more "traditional" brisket type texture? If so, what time and temp are you running?
