    Sous vide and smoked bone in leg of lamb?

    Unfortunately my Anova SV doesn't keep a history of projects like my Fireboard does of smoking - so going by memory I'm thinking 130-135 for 24hrs. Chill, then smoke till 140 IT, follow with a quick sear in a hot pan with some tallow for flavor, rest and serve. Seasoning of the raw meat prior to...

    Sous vide and smoked bone in leg of lamb?

    After sous vide I always allow the meat to cool in the refrigerator before smoking. The Pastrami I make is extremely tender this way as has been Chuck roast or any other meats I've done. To me there's no comparison of freshly smoked vs smoked and the sous vide.

    Alternate Smokai location?

    Ok. Problem solved. The Smokai requires removal of both the diffuser tube and the venturi tube before the hopper can be twisted off the base in order to clean it. With the diffuser protruding into the smoke box meant you had to reach in there and twist it loose, fighting the accumulated...

It works great except it requires almost complete removal from the box in order to clean it due to the design of the smoke tube going into the box. You have to remove both tubes in order to twist the hopper. I just upgraded to a new...

    Sous vide and smoked bone in leg of lamb?

I'm SV the lamb at 130F for 8hrs, then cool tomorrow before smoking. The SV just makes for an evenly cooked...

    Sous vide and smoked bone in leg of lamb?

    I've done brisket and steaks where I sous vide, cool then smoke and love the results. I have a couple bone-in leg of lamb/mutton that I plan to inject with rosemary/garlic infused tallow prior to sous vide, then smoke in my MF with Smokai smoke generator. If anyone has done this or similar I...

    Brined, Sous Vide then smoked whole turkey?

    I've done both a beef tallow rub with seasoning herbs and a light coat of Jimmy Johns BBQ sauce. I think a salty crisp skin is always good 👍.

    Brined, Sous Vide then smoked whole turkey?

    Let us know... I'm using the Smokai attached for the first time hot smoking, that's enough experimentation lol.

    Brined, Sous Vide then smoked whole turkey?

    The brining is usually under refrigeration. I would venture to say a hot brine for 12hrs would make for a very salty bird....

    Smoke flavor issue

    I just ordered a Smokai Magnum. How well is yours burning the standard chips and chunks?
