Since I started with Sous Vide a couple of years ago I have always wondered how long it actually takes to raise the internal temp of your meat to the set temperature on your Sous Vide apparatus. I decided to try a little experiment while I was cooking an “Eye of Round”.
For this experiment I...
Had this Eye of Round in the freezer weighing in at just under 6 pounds. Trimmed him up a little and cut him in half to make him a little easier to deal with when it comes to sealing him up.
Don’t know why I never thought about using my Sous Vide to check my therms.
Just got the new InkBird Therm in for the 50% off deal and wanted to check it for accuracy. Had the Sous Vide already going for a top round so checked the therms against the Anova. All for therms were reading within...
I have always been a stick burner when it comes to smoking and to me nothing will ever replace my reverse flow that I sweated over for months building. It is big and works very well for cooks for our large extended family but proves a little impractical for the single meal for me and the wife...
Ran across this tray of sirloin cubes at the local grocery store. Decided to SV for a few hours and then finish on the grill as Kabobs.
Into the Sous Vide for about three hours @ 132 degrees. Would have preferred to go a little longer to tender up a little more but too late a start for...
I have started seeing this redirect occasionally when getting ready to log on to the site. I am a Premier Member so I thought it couldn’t happen anymore. Must be located in one of the adds that come up on the log in page before actually signing in. Is only happening on this site.

On vacation for the last week and we have done a lot of cooking and “eating in” rather than fighting the crowds for an overpriced meal. Decided to do a Low Country Boil for tonight’s supper.
Here’s a pic of the finished product!!!
Decided to cook some Baby Backs for Memorial Day. Cooking 6 Racks for family and friends.
Here We Are All Rubbed Up with Jeff’s Rub And ready to go in the Smoker!
Going To Be Doing These With 2-2-1 Method. Here they are after being on for a little while.

Family wedding shower for a great niece this weekend. About 25 guests in all. Had the function at the family farm. Menu included, pulled pork, baby back ribs, twice backed taters, baked beans, slaw, rolls, sous vide cheese cake, pound cake, and beverage of your choice.
Start with a couple of...
Had this one in the freezer for a little while. Wanted to try another Sirloin Tip to see if I could nail down the time and temps to suit our liking. Did the first one at 134 degrees for 27 hours. It was very good but I felt it might should have gone for a couple more hours to be as tender as...
Just put a 3.75 pound Sirloin Tip Roast in my SV Cooler mod for a 27 hour cook at 134 degrees. Cooler seems to be performing well so far. Initial temperature of the hot water out of the tap was 126 degrees and took only 10 minutes to bring it up to 134 degrees.
Here’s a pic of the unit at...
Since I got my SV unit I have been intrigued by some of the cooler mods I have seen on this sight and in other places. A rectangle seems like a much more practical configuration to me than a round pot and opens up the ability to cook larger pieces of meat or multiple cuts at the same time. There...
It’s been a long day here in GA. This is my deck with the flurries to a “Trace” of snow they were talking about at 11pm last night. This was midday with more coming. Power back on for the moment. Been out off and on all day.
Thinking about doing a Sirloin Tip for a family function this weekend. Anyone got any experience with one Sous Vide style. Ideas on time, temp, etc for say 6 to 8 pounder cooked medium rare to medium? Thanks for any input!

Got my new Anova Sous Vide in on Saturday and had to break it in. While looking thru the chest freezer in search of a piece of meat for the inaugural run I ran across a 6 lb. rough looking Eye of Round that should have been thrown out 6 months ago. Decided that I had nothing to lose.
I cut...
Smoking a couple of Butts today for pulled pork for Monday. Will post pics as the smoke moves along today. Smoker fired up this morning, butts rubbed down and ready to start their journey.
Cooking today for the Seniors at church. Just put on (4) eight pound Boston Butts for pulled pork early this morning. Here are a few pics of them going on this morning.
Here they are going on the smoker at 5am this morning. Stay
tuned for more pics throughout the day.
Starting an all nighter. Fired up the RF smoker at 9:30pm. Brisket was put on at 10:45pm. Temp in NW Georgia was at 35 degrees and snow flurries. Smoker at 230 degrees and holding steady.
Here is the 12 lb Brisket ready to go in the smoker.
The fire is hot and ready!
Those are a few...
I am now the proud owner of a 24" diameter tank X 81" long. I also found on the same day a trailer which with some modification should work just fine for this build. I have been reading and following all the builds currently going on and have read many of the completed build threads also. ...
My name is Joe and I hale from Northwest Georgia in the good old USA. I am retired and hoping to have a little extra time on my hands in the coming months. I have caught the fever to do some smoking and wish to build a RF smoker on a trailer in the near future. I have some skills but will...
