    what is better tube or tray

    My thinking is time-based. I went with the 12" tube. But when I do burgers, I only need 2 hours worth, so I wish I had the smaller 6" tube. Wait! I was thinking about doing some cheese... so now I need a tray! In other words, choose your size based on how long you want to apply "extra"...

    Voltage to lid handle

    Agreed, Call CC first! Wait! UNPLUG the unit first, call CC second. You likely have a ground fault in the unit, but unless you have the tools to trace that type of problem (with the unit unplugged please!), it is not safe to continue using it.

    Plagiarism at its best!

    I got a full packer Prime brisket from Costco, and trimmed into 3 pieces. This was the large half of the flat initially. After corning for 10 days, I cut off about 1.5lbs for corned beef and cabbage. I used the remainder for this pastrami. My reason for these cooks is my love for "really...

    You never forget your first piece of pork butt

    I think you might be referring to the smoke RING! There is a lot of research that says the smoke only adds to the ring up to a certain temperature, and that's it. But that is just the ring, and that is just cosmetic. As long as there is smoke, you are adding smoke flavor. I "think" I remember...

    I am new to all this... I went to Chef's Toys today just to buy a decent slicing knife. When I tried to cut some corned beef the other day it was too soft to cut with my dull as hell steel lol! I figured this pastrami deserved a proper blade.

    I expect I will be sent to Cookers Prison, as I am 100% guilty of theft. @troutman posted his life's work in the field of Pastrami, and I've had my way with it! My attorney will argue the following: My client removed said meat from the sous vide after 75 hours and placed in an ice bath...

    Smoke/sous vide/smoke brisket test

    That was my concern. I was initially thinking about juicy and tender. I'm WAY new to all this, and I stole the recipe for the marinade from a "marinate overnight in the fridge" method. I'm starting to think I should be concerned about the heating the marinade part and just drain it after a few...

    Smoke/sous vide/smoke brisket test

    Inspired by a post about pastrami and sous vide, I am running a test. I cut up my packer this morning, and am using a 1lb section for a test. I used a SPOG rub, and low smoke to 120*. Now it is in a bag at 135* in the sous vide bucket. I made a quick red wine based marinade and put it into...
