    Sous Vide Safety

    The bottom line, if you want to be truly safe, don't let food be in its respective "danger zone" for more than 4 hours when reheating. It really is that simple. Reheating wit hthe sousvide is perfectly safe. Here are a few things on the topic; If I Can Cook Frozen Food Sous Vide, Can I Also...

    Where do you get your jerky flavor packets from?

    I sometimes make my own, but this stuff is VERY good IMHO. I use flank steak and it turns out pretty amazing.

    Char-Griller 980 After Six Months

    Hi Everyone, I have a new 980 and love it. I always end up with charcoal in the hopper when the cook is over. Just how much to I have to shake the ash out before I light it? Do you all like cubes, or other lighters or use a torch? THANKS!

    Just got a new CharGriller 980

    WELCOME! I have my eye on one of these as well. I am debating waiting until they have one with a Rotisserie but not sure I can wait that long. From what I have seen, it looks like a first rate cooker! Post a pic when you do your first cook!!

    I Like the better quality of the Char-Griller, but I REALLY wish it was available with a Rotisserie like the MB.

    MAK 2 Star or REC TEC 700?

    Now that i have had mt Rec Tec 700 for 3 months and just pulled my second amazingly good brisket off of it, i can say beyond any doubt the Rec Tec is a fantastic device. It is easy enough where I can use it on weeknights and seems VERY efficient on pellet use. I even made a Lasagna on it....

    Wings on the Kettle

    Yes 100% it is the 150th anniversary sauce. Some of the peppers used in it have been aged as long as 15 years, a very long time to age peppers but the sauce in the botttle is not 150 years old... It really is fantastic, it is expensive but not so crazy you can't try a bottle. If 35 bucks is too...

    MAK 2 Star or REC TEC 700?

    I talked to someone over at Rec Tec last night. They actually answered their phone in 2 rings! He was very knowledgable and nothing bad to say about the MAK 2 star. I told him about my Traeger disaster and my general wants. As it turns out he also has Big Green Eggs but like many they sit...

    MAK 2 Star or REC TEC 700?

    I looked at the Memphis briefly - I agree, it is a stellar grill. However, keep in mind my budget started aTRaeger level, I just knew from the previous stint with a Traeger Texas that was not the one for me. THEN I saw well for a few dollars more I can get a Yoder or a Rec Tec, then I saw...

    water pan

    Water pans do not help with meat drying out. You can dry out meat submerged in braising liquid. It is all about meat quality, temp, and time.

    MAK 2 Star or REC TEC 700?

    Hi Everyone, I THINK I have my selection down to two - the MAK 2 Star and the REC TEC 700. Both are stellar, both made in the USA, both have upgraded igniters, both seem to have excellent PID controllers. Am i missing something that elevates one above the other?

    Camp Chef SmokePro Lux or REC TEC RT 700?

    I agree it is, even the Yoder does not seem to have a Ceramic igniter.

    Cooking Smoked Baby Back Ribs without a Smoker

    I also used Kenji's article for my runs (serious eats is a FANTASTIC website). My first was 150 for 30 hours, my second ran 155 for 24 hours. I may try this again at 165 as well. Don't get me wrong, there was not a rib left in the pile and my best result was my second try. To say they were "too...
