I shall experiment! I think the issue with smoking first then sous vide is that you then lose the crispy texture of the bark. I guess sous vide "sets" the outside of the meat less than other cooking methods, so more likely to take smoke on afterwards. I will try it both ways and see if it makes a difference. Could even try Smoke>sous vide>smoke to see if that makes a difference...
