I posted previously about my sous vide set up.....homemade sous vide using a
crock pot and a thermocouple.

https://groups.google.com/forum/#!to...ng/2b_-Kn6uOkk

Works great and didn't cost me much money.

I have a chuck steak that I just took out and it is chilling in the fridge
till I'm ready to sear it off. And I just put a piece of brisket in to go
for 2 days.

I'm having a good time.

Understood! Would you really change to a larger unit when what you have
works fine?

I am very pleased you are having a good time) Keep it up and keep sharing
because I enjoy reading it)
