Cut into gator nuggets. Going with 2 marinades along with 1 cup water and 1/2 tsp cure 1.

The gator is not as dense as chicken breast so i'm only going to vac tumble for 5 mins then into the fridge overnight.

Be back tomorrow on how i'm going to do this.
 
Was going to put some smoke to the gator.

But

When i took the top off the vac canister i could smell the smoke from the marinade.

So

I'm just going the lazy way.
