I know this might be sacrilege -- but, I'm trying it anyway.
I have in right now -- will cook it for 48 hours -- ice bath, then in to the smoker.
That's the plan anyway.

Yeah - my wife crinkled her nose at the steaks. Now, that's the only way she cooks them. I did a pork loin once -- left it in too long -- turned it in to pork pudding.Amazing how ugly it is when coming out of bag isn't it. My family turned their nose up and made gagging motions first time I used it. I tossed steaks on grill and used my big weed torch to sear. After that they would ask for it. LoL
In the sous vide, anything in the bag with it has 48 hours to work in to the meat. Also, there is zero "tending to". No spritzing -- no checking. No overcooking -- at least while it's in the water bath. I think the biggest thing is time management -- I know I only have a few hours in the smoker. I'm not starting from zero.Okay, my daughter got me a nice sous vide set up a few years ago and yes, it does make awesome beef and pork - IF - you have a good method to sear it properly.
But however, after 48 hours in the bag and then however long on the smoker... is sous vide really make that much of a difference to make it worth the extra time and effort? I'm on the fence, but am open to ideas about what's so great about it.
Had the same thoughs as yours but all in all experimenting on the kitchen can be fun and relaxing. Sous vide can save your time especially if you have a big family and you need to keep your products fresh.Okay, my daughter got me a nice sous vide set up a few years ago and yes, it does make awesome beef and pork - IF - you have a good method to sear it properly.

True -- the grand majority of the time is passive.Had the same thoughs as yours but all in all experimenting on the kitchen can be fun and relaxing. Sous vide can save your time especially if you have a big family and you need to keep your products fresh.
