    Freezing Sous Vide Hamburgers?

    Honestly I had better luck cooking my burgers and getting them the way I want them then vac sealing and freezing them. Then I sousvide when ready to eat. This works great with pulled pork and brisket as well. Steak and chicken I still find works better to season and freeze then sous vide when...

    Injection question.....

    I also use the slaughterhouse brine. I really like how it turns out. Just could never figure out how they use butter based injections unless they were warm. lol Mater fact what brought this up was me mixing up the brine yesterday for this bird I got from a co-worker who raises 50-60 birds...

    Injection question.....

    I tried tony c's once.. wasnt a big fan. I actually have been using a modified version of Slaughterhouse Poultry Injection that i got from here. I just add a bit of msg. And I use 50/50 apple cider/chicken stock or broth. I just would have thought you wouldnt want to inject warm stuff into...

    Injection question.....

    So a lot of injections I have looked up which I want to try all have melted butter as a component. Even if I bring the whole injection to a boil while mixing once it cools the butter re-solidifies. And then it clogs the injector unless i I use my Big 1.5 gallon pump injector. So how are you...

    SV - Brisket, Smokes First, Issues

    I use the same method that goldies in Texas does but I use a sous vide instead of a warmer. I smoke till 185 - 190. I pull when the bark looks great and top fat is rendered then into a bag and sous vide over night 12 - 20 hours at 150f. Amazing results. And yes. I have tried grass fed beef...

    Too much smoke

    I had years of playing with my mes40, which was very easy to use, there was either no smoke flavor or a very acidic flavor. There is many layers of smoke and electric smokers do not actually fully or actually partially combust the smoke particulate. Pellet smokers seem to do it too much, and...

    Meater probes....... Sorry to say but I would stay far far away from them.....

    Most of what I cook I use temp to get me in the ball park. I dont need 0.001F accuracy. Hell +/- 5 I would be fine with. But I like to have it for monitoring on long cooks. Last brisket I didnt even do probe tender or any of that crap. I just cooked it till 180 - 190 or so till I liked the...

    First Impressions: Day 1 with MBG 1050 - (long post warning -- too excited to be brief)

    The gravity grill smokes food with the closest flavor to a good offest I have had out of 10 or so different smokers. Compared to electric its not even in the same solar system. Enjoy your new smoker you will be making some of the best food you have probably ever made(I know I did). And while...

    Meater probes....... Sorry to say but I would stay far far away from them.....
