    Smoking and vacuum sealing meals for later

    Also have a vac sealer and enjoy leftovers, but I have a problem with the vacum sucking liquid up and preventing a good seal. How do you prevent this?

    gloves

    I use an old pair of decoy gloves used to pickup duck decoys.  Thru in the wash and now use them - flexible, fingers for repositioning probes and enough protection from the heat, and best of all I'm recycling so it's free.

    what is happening.

    I've had overnighters finish in the wee hours as well - sometimes my smokes go real quick, but not usually. 5 hours to 176 dosn't sound bad, just gets to rest longer when it does finish.

    Let's talk marinades

    A lot of recipies call for marinades of one kind or another, and then say leave in the marinade overnight or or a few hours.  When I have used marinades they seem to change the texture of the meat and I end up with portions of the Que soft, almost mushy and not at all appealing. I asume I need...
