    Eye of the round

    My nephew asked me to smoke an eye of round for is lunch sandwiches. I smoked one for him, pulled it at around 138 degrees then sliced it thin. He seemed to like it but I thought it was a little dry. He’s wanting some more, so I’m thinking about marinating it or injecting. Any thoughts on a...

    https://www.hbtsmokers.com/ Sorry about the confusion, I’ve been dealing with hwh hydraulic company all week and apparently still have them on my mind. 😂 Thanks for pointing it out to me.

    Need advice for new stick burner. Outlaw or Boathouse offset.

    I’m a little biased but I love my HWH smoker. It doesn’t have the fancy paint job, just plain old school black. It runs great around 230 ~250 range but if I want to run hot and fast, I can adjust the dampers, add some wood and go to town. They will customize your smoker any way you want. I had...

    Looking for a new Sous vide cooker

    Got the Inkbird in today and immediately set it up for a steak tonight. My first impression are that the interface was easy to figure out. But the biggest thing is how quiet this thing is. When I first stared it I had to open the lid and make sure the water was moving around. My old Anova...

    Looking for a new Sous vide cooker

    I saved the adjustable clap from my old, if I need to have one I’m hoping the barrel size will be close enough.

    Looking for a new Sous vide cooker

    Definitely not going try again :emoji_laughing: When I say it blew up, I meant that the top actually blew off, parts were in the water bath and obviously the breaker blew. I knew it was out of warranty but it was worth a shot. Hopefully I’ll get more than 3 years from the next one.

    Looking for a new Sous vide cooker

    So we heard from Anova and after a few emails back and forth (more pics, serial number, receipts, our address etc) they came back with basically this isn’t the experience we want our customers to have but your out of warranty. With that, I figure I’ll give Inkbird a shot. I’m looking the...

    Looking for a new Sous vide cooker

    Thanks for all your responses. I did send an email to Anova, got an auto response saying they will follow up with me in a couple days. I’ll decide after I hear back. I will say I’m already miss having a SV cooker.

    Looking for a new Sous vide cooker

    Couple years ago I purchased a Anova SV cooker, today I was cooking a chicken breast and it literally blew up. I was sitting back and heard what sounded like a water bottle blowing up. Went into the kitchen to see and found this: Since I have to order a new one, what do you recommend? This one...

    Any new Michigan Members?

    If you’re here in the summer check out Austin Bros. Not traditional BBQ fair but they do a pretty decent Tri Tip on their smoker and some decent local brews. I believe Alabaster is south of Tawas.
