    I will do science to it! Smoke + Sous Vide

    There's a few bits to this thread. @Fencesitter: You're right in that it may not gain you anything. What I neglected to mention is that I want a SV setup and a smoking setup for themselves. The combination of the two is merely geekery and something I'll eventually give a shot. As to the...

    I will do science to it! Smoke + Sous Vide

    For the record I currently have no smoker of any kind. I mean to rectify that this year. Last year I passed on a 7 foot tall "proofing cabinet" that had formerly done time at a KFC. Could have had it for $100, and passed because I suddenly found myself mid divorce and unclear on where I was...

    Jumping in the deep end. Sink or swim.

    I've wanted a smoker for a long time, wanted the convenience of Electric, and didn't want to spend money on a small smoker as I know myself well enough to know it'd just be replaced. Inspired by Walleye1's amazing beast: http://www.smokingmeatforums.com/for...ad.php?t=72491 I've located an...

    I just got a huge smoker , I cant afford to fill it up

    A large gathering of kin, or a gathering of large kin? I'd look at Walleye1's build here http://www.smokingmeatforums.com/for...ad.php?t=23653 A decent electrical heating coil and a convection fan should be able to get something like that to temp and hold it without having to run a Mr. Fusion...

    A little Brisket Rub help please

    Not smoker related but... For Christmas Dinner, I usually will do one, sometimes two, beef tenderloins on a rotisserie. (You'd be amazed at how well a dirt cheap Popeil electric rotisserie can cook a tenderloin). They get kosher salt and fresh ground pepper, and nothing else. People always...

    I seriously need to stop reading this site before lunch. Especially on a day I'm working from home and the only thing in the house to eat is Baloney.

    Experts check my head.

    I had never even heard of Gander Mountain until I started reading this site. There's definitely none anywhere near Cincinnati. $250 is a bit more than I can slide past the budgetkeeper, though.

    Good deal on GOSM

    With a suggested price of $99, I assume that was the 16" wide one. Did they have any of the $138 base price 20" wide ones?

    Venison Sausage and Morel Stuffed Canadian Bacon

    It's a fattie on steroids. And LSD. I'm not a mushroom kind of guy, but the rest of it looks insanely great.

    OK, who's got a recipe for Pork Rinds?

    Experts check my head.

    It looks like the budgetary space I thought I had to get this won't actually be there for another two weeks, so I have to go back into waiting mode. One other thing I want to address is bottom venting. I've seen where some GOSM have baffled vents underneath and some just have big holes. I...

    Experts check my head.

    I've got no smoker, but want one desperately. After scouring all the forums here, this is what I've decided. I don't own a charcoal grill, because I know I'd never use it. Not enough patience to fire up and wait and maintain. No charcoal for me, it wouldn't get used. The electric smokers I've...

    The Fattie You Would Most Likely Make At Home
