To celebrate my move to my new house, and to reward the people who helped me lug all my shit there I am doing a smoke this weekend.  So was cruising Costco before i hit the butcher and sure enough they had packer briskets ... and absolutely mammoth ones in stock.  Picked one up and will be...

Congrats!

The hell with SV, here is the next leap in culinary innovation.  SV is is so 2010  

  There is still time.

Oh and yes, BBQ is the pinnacle of culinary accomplishment :)     I know some people think extracting pea essence through scientific process might be better, but nope.

  Well if all you are after is the beef flavor, then SV away.  Keep the meat off the BBQ because anything other then heat (i.e. smoke, spices, wood, pan ect and just have a basically a boiled piece of meat) affects the flavor and diminishes the flavor of the BEEF.  Thats the ultimate beef flavor...

  All of those "issues" you describe in a normal smoke all come down to talent and technique lol.       SV is for people who can't learn, or there are a lot of them or who don't have the space/tools, to properly make a brisket.  Briskets are hard, and people want an easier way out.  However with...

Name it "The scientific, un-artistic, hit a button and call it a day, wet meat challenge!"   The Hot Pepper make it happen! lol

I mean if you are trying to impress your hipster friends, or the Joneses down the street lol.   Id still take a homemade slab of pork belly, home cured for 7 -11 days, seasoned by my own hand, cut thick and pan seared in a cast iron over boiled bacon ;)

My Anova just kicks it pantry.  Used it a few times, but doesn't do anything you can't do manually with fire and skill lol.   The one thing I do bust it out for though are lamb chops.

  I would have entered this one, but was in the middle of a move to a new house.  So all my smokers/cooking/grinding gear was packed :(  Next one though, now that I have way more space (and garden space) I am in.

Ya it should be mandatory to flash freeze these and mail samples to everyone. :)

P.s.  Sorry for anyone who got non beef.  Thats just blasphemy and you should feel bad :p

I had to go with Guat's entry.  Juicy lucys are one of the best inventions known to man.  The meat looked a little dense (as someone who grinds my own beef regularly), but when making a burger like a juicy lucy the patty is the full on point.  Also he used a very high fat content beef which...
