    Best Sous Vide to get started with?

    Anova Precision Oven owner here. I use that to SV steaks and other meats for reverse searing and also for sourdough bread.

    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...

    First Cook on My RT-1250

    Of course there is no need to SV but I'm looking for benefits of doing SV first. So far benefits of SV first are: 1) timing convenience - SV up to a week earlier, store in the fridge and then have a quicker smoke when you are ready for it - still working on this 2) got 6 cups of really rich...

    I placed mine along the left edge directly on the grate. Wish I had a picture of when I opened it up for a quick peek. Seemed to create plenty of smoke for a good 5 hours from a 12" tube filled close to the top with pure apple pellets. Make sure you have a small butane torch to light it off.

    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...
