    Resting a Brisket via sous vide?

    I don't do it . At times if it finishes early you have to , but I've got it down to where it's finished on time , and just do a 45 minute rest on the counter so the temp drops for slicing . I have used the SV for reheating , but I wouldn't use it to hold . Just my opinion on that .

    Just yanking your chain . For a " click , spark , burn and bang " that's a great shot . I hunted with a younger fella , that was king of the gut shot .

    Finally...

    Nice buy . The first time I made bacon , I started to slice it with a knife . Put it all back in the fridge , and went to Cabelas and bought a slicer . I use it way more than I ever thought I would .

    Flat top buildup while cooking problem

    Sugar or dextrose in sausage helps it brown up I get the same build up doing beef burger that does not have any added sugar , but the natural sugars are the blame . Just nature of the beast .

    Flat top buildup while cooking problem

    I steam and re-oil mine before cooking on it . Get it hot and hit it with some water . Move that around and cook it off , then oil it and start cooking over medium heat . You'll most likely have to steam and scrap if doing a lot of volume .

    Encapsulated Citric Acid

    Yes , you can skip it . You don't want it to burst or dissolve to soon , or it will ruin the sausage .

    What To Do For Cuz?! Suggestions Please!

    I used a foil pan / tray with 1 1/2 inch sides to shape it . Put plastic wrap in the pan before you press the meat in . That way you can get it out the next day , after sitting in the fridge overnight . I start it on non stick foil , then after it's set , I pull the foil out .

    What To Do For Cuz?! Suggestions Please!

    That's a great suggestion , and a great way to use game meat . I've used the Owens mix with all pork , but have had it with venison . It's really good , and if smoked to as safe temp , you can also eat it cold out of the fridge . This is all pork , after cured , smoked and fried .

    Best option to redirect smoke so on MES140B?

    Problem comes in with the different applications , and what works with what . Rigid pipe , snap together or flex have their own connection sizes . So you need the fitting that works with the duct style you have . If you have snap together duct , you need a take off for snap pipe . Rigid...
