Did my first sous vide flamethrower brisket and WOW. Best brisket I’ve ever had in my life. Seriously. Unbelievably tender and juicy. Can’t even explain the texture. It turned the flat into filet mignon.

Did some takeout containers for friends.
 
Looks good! I'll assume the flamethrower is the searing method.
You have lucky friends.
Is it possible to substitute the beans with another slice of brisket?
:-)
 
What does flamethrower have to do with this cook?

It’s smoked for 3 hours, then sous vide for 44 hours at 140F then a flamethrower makes the bark/crust. I have videos but it won’t let me attach them so here’s a screenshot.

Cmon I made those beans from scratch! lol
 
That looks freaking fantastic. Where does one acquire a food flamethrower? Asking for a friend...
 
Looks great! How was the smoke flavor?

Honestly a little strong. I used pecan with a little hickory. I was afraid I wouldnt be able to taste it, so I hammered it hard with smoke for those first three hours. It didn’t form a smoke ring but vacuum sealing it for the sous vide really locked in the smoke. Also next time I’ll go a little lighter on the rub.
I took a million videos, it won’t let me upload them on here so I’m going to edit them and put them on YouTube then I’ll post the link.

It looks real good!
Would you mind posting your times & Temps in the SV.
Al

3 hours at lowest setting in smoker or 140F
44 hours in Sous Vide at 140F
Flamethrower if you like a good bark/crust

Only think I would change would be going lighter on my smoke and rub. Texture and juiciness of the meat was absolutely perfect.
