If you can get an outside source to slice it, more power to you, but I think that would be unlikely. Based on strict regulations on food safety and cleanliness, it would be unlikely that grocery stores or butcher shops would put an unknown meat from an unknown source on their slicer. I've heard of people who do this, but that would be the exception, not the norm. I have an affordable Chef's choice slicer, and it does not slice LONG slices, but it works for what I need. I just adjust the size of my slabs before smoking to fit the size of my slicer. And like Gregg says, the shorter slices are perfect for BLTs, and I've always preferred the shorter slices for almost everything else.
