    Immersion Circulator

    I have a Sous Vide oven that I like but looking at a Immersion circulator. Not sure which one to get. Amazon has a couple with prices marked down. Any thoughts on these? Is higher wattage better?

    Sous Vide oven racks.

    I received a Gourmia GSV550 as a gift. The rack doesn’t hold much. I was thinking about getting these: Instructions say not to use without a rack. With the racks above, I can get more in it. Anyone use these without a rack or have suggestions?

    rib marinade

    I smoked some baby backs a few weeks ago and they came out pretty good. I didn't marinade or brine them, just mopped while smoking.  I think if I would have marinaded or brined them they would have been better. Any recommendations  on a marinade or brine? Thanks

    Taylor TruTemp

    I bought a Taylor TruTemp digital cooking thermometer. Can it be used to take the temp inside of my smoker, by just laying on the rack or stuck thru a small potato? Or do I need a differant type of thermometer for that? I want a thermometer for monitoring smoker temp. Thanks
