Craig Rice I’ve seen pictures on other web sites, some with binder, some without, and some with all different kinds of binder, and the only consistent was hi temp cheese. Some had discoloring right when they cut it, some after a day in refer, that’s the way mine was. Fine the first day, next day gray around cheese. Maybe the way some binders react to cheese? Don’t know, but still pretty sure cheese has something to do with it.

Denny O ok what am I missing, camo?

Dave in AZ so you guys are smoking partly then sv the rest? Why not just ramp up and hit the 160° in the smoker before the ice bath? We sous vide a lot here with our other smoked meats both personally and our customers. Is there a health dept reason to do this?

I think part of the reason for finishing in a SV bath is when the smoker has insufficient heating capacity to push the temperatures on up to lethal internal temperatures.
IMO a lot of hobby smoker manufacturers will overstate the capacity of their smokers and when users load them up, they fall short and can’t reach finishing temps.
The other problem is somewhat related inadequate heating capacity and it happens when trying to smoke product to the required finishing temperature when using the smoker outdoors during windy or cold ambient conditions. -
PaPaSmokes sounds like you’re going to have some great products. Looking forward to seeing your progress in this venture

PaPaSmokes if you search “team” you’ll see some threads about team colors that will clarify this concept for you. I’ve just joined @Team-Camo myself

processhead makes perfect sense. As I have a pk100 and purpose built I should have no issues. Thanks for that insight.
-
Deepwoodsbutcher yea I think I’ll read up on them before I just jump in. A friendly online rivalry, I hope to be in a forum where we give and receive insight on smoking. We are all on the same journey just different places in line. I want to impart knowledge on the things I’ve been successful in and glean insight on my lacking areas.

PaPaSmokes great perspective
