Hi all, figured I'd post about this since I've heard about smoking and sous vide combined but some say smoke first. some say smoke 2nd. I wanted the smoke ring so I smoked first just over 2 hours. Then into the water at 165 for 26 hours. I was aiming for 24 but got a little busy with other things and no one was hungry yet.

Came out great! I'm not sure I want to even try the other way around since this worked so well. I didn't sear or anything after the bath and just shredded up the meat. added back some of the juices and we enjoyed as tacos.

I plan on doing some lamb shoulder this way next time.

    Does not look like it needed a sear. Looks gorgeous.

    I’m 100% in the smoke first camp. That’s way I do brisket with the last step under the broiler to crispy up my bark.
