I'm working on mine now and I have (I think) all the parts but I'd love to see what you all have come up with. I know some of you are using HLTs for double duty. So I want to see some pics!!
Brewing Clamper said:How necessary is the bubbler? I know it's to keep the water moving and thus a more consistent to throughout, but is it crucial?
I have not used one yet, but I tested my Ebay temp controller with our crock pot and it worked well. I planned to use either that crock pot or a SS kettle on a hot plate I have out in the garage. I really should give the sous vide thing a try. Soaking chips for a pork shoulder right now, so it might be a few days before I run out of Pulled Pork. Well, I could maybe sneak one test cook in while the pork is cooking. Usually takes about 24 hours or so.

That's the one thing I've yet to attempt, anything long and slow. It's hard living alone to think about cooking anything that big I guess. I end up wasting food as it is.
Hey bro, as I'm posting this I'm in St. Ignace on a hotel deck overlooking Mackinac Island. We're doing a vintage base ball tourney tomorrow on the lawn in front of the Grand Hotel.
Sure, but how do you keep the crock pot sealed? Suppose it doesn't really matter if it can hold the temp.
Chest freezer's getting unplugged so I can make dinner tonight.
I never thought about just using ziplocks. My sealer is on the fritz so I put off trying this method, but now I might go ahead and give it a go. Not tonight though. Wife says it's an order in night. There goes the diet...
I had Ostrich in PA one time at a fancy wild game restaurant. It was very tasty.
I HAVE to remember to set up my cooker and give this a try soon. But my controller is keeping my homemade soda cold.
Eh, I think I can let the soda warm up for a few hours one time!
Hey Revvy I'm sure someone has asked you this already but you wouldn't happen to have a wiring diagram for your temp controller, or does it come with instructions?
Thanks

I've posted it hundreds of times. Like in this thread.
No one else?
Wow, Awesome.
Hey, everyone who's been taking my suggestion of using immersion heaters. I think the same caveat in the threads about using water heater elements in electric brewing setups apply. DON'T RUN THEM DRY....Don't lift your lid for example with them still running or they'll burn out. I've burned a couple them out, I guess that way. Luckily they're pretty cheap. Keep em wet when you have them going.
