Bought a Cuisinart Griddler just for making these sandwiches, it will pay for itself.

Memorial Day ribs. These were actually cooked in the sous vide water oven 24 hours several weeks ago and frozen. Yesterday I defrosted them and smoked them for one hour. It was supposed to be two hours but I forgot about them. Still turned out smokey though I would have like more and for the meat to pull of the bone a little more. Served with potato salad and collards.

This SV/smoker method saves a lot of time tending coals and comes out perfect every time. (In the pic, I pulled the one on the left apart a little with a fork and the tongs to show how tender it was.)

I bought a pellet smoker and wanted to try it out. I was already going to sous vide a tri-tip so I checked out the Smoking Meats Forum. I found that several members cold smoke the meat before they put it in the sous vide oven.

I had the meat at 35° with a basic BBQ rub. I lit the smoker in the Weber grill and let them burn for about 10 minutes before putting the meat in. I let it smoke an hour before bagging the tri-tip and putting it in the sous-vide oven.

While the meat was in the SV, the smoker was still going (it only used about an inch and a half of one row of pellets) so I put a small block of Jack cheese in the Weber and smoked it an hour and 15 minutes. It was hot here yesterday (98°) so the cheese bled out some oil and got a little soft. I blotted the oil, wrapped the cheese in parchment paper, and stuck it back in the refrigerator.

Out of the bag the tri-tip was seared and came out smokey and perfect as usual thanks to the SV oven. (The messy cutting board was because of the juice left in the SV bag.) I forgot the check the meat temp when I took it out after smoking. I'd like to be able to cold smoke it longer next time so I'll put a probe in it.

Had some of the cheese this afternoon (before taking the pic ) and it was really good. The smoke was Oak, BTW.

In a blind taste test, I'd be hard pressed to tell the difference between a Prime Rib and a Tri-Tip.

This, this, is blasphemy, heresy, and the 4th sign of the apocalypse!

Cook on the weekends when you have time. Don't listen to Billy! (I need to go and wash my eyes after reading that......)

OK just kidding. This might work pretty well, but, I'd keep a close eye on over cooking, especially pork. A butt will turn mushy if cooked too long, you want to stop the cooking process at just the right time, as soon as the meat starts to easily rip apart.
