Steak sauce? Yes or no?
that's an upgrade from the standard igloo cooler redneck setupI have used the same controller on big cooks in a 120qt cooler using a water trough heating element for my heat source...worked like a champ...

She meant steak salts. Sorry guys, nothing to see here.
Run Judy! Run!
Throwing a wrench into the equation.
I had never heard of this way of cooking so I just did a little research. Damn, this just seems like a great thing to be able to do. Found some instructions to build a 15 gallon cooker for 75 bucks. I don't know why I wouldn't do this.
You may have posted a picture of the same, but my work computer blocks some pictures (and not others) so I cant see it.
I prefer the way I built mine because I can use it on anything from a crock pot up to a 140qt ice chest on big cooks.
I am sure you did it well and nothing against it, but 75 bucks and 15 gallons seems like a pretty good point for me. I know the way it is set up, you can unhook it from the bin and put it on anything else, though I wouldn't use a tub because I would assume that the heating elements wouldn't be rated for that much water. Also, I am sure that if I ever decided that I needed more cooking volume, that I could purchase some heating coils that are rated higher and stick them on there, but I haven't looked really closely at the instructions.
ok, so the nce of 25 bucks isn't that big and if that thing can crank out that much power, maybe I will look that way. Here is the one I found found

That's a good price to already be assembled. That is the same temperature controller I used.
Oh no, it is a DIY, they have the instructions on the site.
Either way you won't regret it. You will be blown away at the crazy stuff you can cook. Beef Ribs on a 24 hour soak @ 131F and then smoked or flash grilled are freaking amazing. Tender, medium rare, and with that big beefy rib flavor.
I think I am going to do this because the one thing I can't do (and I am ashamed to admit it) is make some ribs. Admittedly I haven't tried too many times (my first time was atrocious and my second sucked too), but I think that I should be able to do it with these.
I went there once, don't know what the fuss is about. Any fool can cook a steak.
So'd you dump ketchup all over that crispy mother er?
Ruth's Chris is good. It is very difficult to find the same quality of cuts of beef to cook at home. Good restaurants like Ruth's Chris or Morton's or El Gaucho almost always have better cuts of meat.
Maybe in Portland, but there are good reliable sources of prime meat here.
Primer than El Gaucho?! No me digas!
I cooked the most perfect steak in the history of the world last night, in my backyard, in the pouring rain
You don't even have to drive very far. My in-laws live behind randolph in schertz and there is a guy who sells fresh beef not to far down the road.
By "cooked the most perfect steak" do you mean had the best sex? If so... you are welcome.I cooked the most perfect steak in the history of the world last night, in my backyard, in the pouring rain
Yes of course, that's exactly what I meant
Probably in butcher shops. But I doubt that you would find prime steaks in the grocery store or Costco there.
True, Costco typically has choice, but not prime. Bolner's has great choice cut steaks including prime, kobe, and akaushi but they damn sure aren't cheap.
Ruth Chris/Morton’s have phenomenal cuts of beef…As mentioned they do not season the beef ….They also have expensive liquors…I have only been to either on The Company Dime…While the execs get liquored up, I savor the “Porter house for two” with a bunch of sides and leave with lunches for the next few days….
every costco I have been to has a part of their cooler dedicated to prime beef.
