Something like this should work. (if you're using the camping green cylinders). http://www.amazon.com/StanSport-194-B-Stansport-Propane-Cylinder/dp/B001DC7FPM

The ideal probably would have been to angle the top differently so that it would be balanced while standing straight-up, but I don't know what sort of considerations had to be made so it might not have been possible.

No Wave posted:Got it. Seems sort of overengineered but I can't think of a much better solution. If you're using a narrow tank, it's going to be top-heavy no matter what. It's the same reason those Coleman feet exist for camp lanterns, even though lanterns are basically symmetrical. Narrow tanks are kind of wobbly with nothing attached.

Since any kind of torching inside sets off the smoke detectors, I will do it outside and just set the thing on the concrete slab that is our patio. Concrete gives no fucks if the searzall is a few thousand degrees.

If anyone's thinking of grabbing an Anova One, there's $50 off using 'TAKE50' at the checkout until 5th September.

And of course now that the Anova Precision Cooker kickstarter is pretty much done they launch a new one for The WiFi model. Anyone want two precision cookers?

I swear I saw something via the kickstarter app a few nights ago though. I am now questioning my perception of reality since it was so very real. Yeah, Nomiku must look like Anova when you've had a few cocktails. I wasn't posting drunk or anything, but was looking at kickstarter. Come to think of it, that explains a whole lot....

There definitely is one. I saw a (kind of lame) article based on a press demo about it coming out "soon". I presume everyone else will beat them to market again, but it is good to have competition in this arena.

I was just looking at a Souse Vide Supreme Demi referb for $150. Does anyone have an opinion on the SVS Demi? I've borrowed my sisters Avona before but having something the size of a rice cooker I keep on the counter is pretty appealing.

It's not that the Demi is bad, it's just that the circulators are almost always better. Only reason I have a Demi is because at the time the cheapest comparable circulator was like $250 more. More reasons for circulator over Demi: 1. Demi isn't really that small, it takes up about as much space as my stand mixer. 2. Possible corrosion issue of the bottom removable grill (Though I have yet to encounter this) 3. The circulators, at least the Anova, are much more consistent in their temperature control. Anova is +/- 0.01, Demi is -2.4.

With the new Anova coming soon, I've been window-shopping cambros and I got a couple questions. Polycarbonate has BPA, but as long as my food is in airtight bags that are BPA-free I should be fine, right? Will double-walling my cambro (putting one cambro inside another) have any meaningful benefit to insulation, or is that being fussy for no good reason?

The SVS Demi is a pile of poo poo. It was fine when the only other option was a $700 Polyscience unit, but that's not the case any more.

Turns out my sister was part of the last Anova Kickstarter and bought 2 so she selling one to me for pretty cheap. I can wait until October which should be enough time to talk my wife into the idea.

Only reason I have a Demi is because at the time the cheapest comparable circulator was like $250 more. More reasons for circulator over Demi: The main advantage that I can see to the SVS design is that it has no moving parts. I don't know where the different IC manufacturers are sourcing their pumps, but in a commercial application a fluid pump is one of those things that you expect to go tits up before any other part of the device (mod gaskets and so on). And I don't think any of the new low end ICs have been out there long enough to know what their service life is going to look like.

At least the Anova "pump" is pretty simple. No critical seals to wear or anything. It's just a propeller on a long shaft.

I bought the original full-size svs (which has no corrosion issues) right when it came out and it's fine, but the temperature control is worse than an IC and it's just so huge an inconvenient to have around all the time. I'm going to replace it with an Anova (probably) soon.

Tests show that searing all 6 sides of a cube of beef simultaneously will minimize the extent to which the increasing temperature penetrates to the interior.

I just bit the bullet on an Anova. They have a current campaign going on Facebook, the code is for $50 off the One. $150 (plus $70 freight to australia the c*nts!) for one. I wanted blue but black was the only choice. Getting p keen to try it out. Does anyone who owns an Anova have any great tips or tricks?
