Anova Precision Oven owner here. I use that to SV steaks and other meats for reverse searing and also for sourdough bread. A lot easier for reverse searing since you get SV results without having to bag the meat and excellent for bread. For doing a longer SV-to-Recteq cook like the pork butt I...
My 1250 delivery last month was great, About 3 weeks from order to delivery - took some time from ordering to freight pick up but delivery was good. No issues except lugging it from the curb to the house. No damage at all...

I had a surprisingly good delivery experience! Estes from GA to CT and then someone else for the final mile. 9 days from pickup to delivery, including the Christmas holidays. Zero damage! I was very concerned about delivery issues like lost shipments, delays and damage after reading posts. My...
