A Lot Of Hot Air

I decided to start a new thread. Who knows what can happen to the other one.

Basically the video shows the purpose for me to share this simple BBQ technique with you, and thing got very strange.

1. Using an adjustable speed blower to get the fire going full blast in a few seconds for high temperature searing of the meat. This is not to teach any one on how to start a charcoal fire.

It happens that the video also shows very well how sous vide cooking can give you very tender and juicy texture of the meat.

I also find it interesting that many of so the called BBQ pulled pork recipes are not BBQ. They are pulled pork with BBQ sauce or roasted pulled pork. BBQed pulled pork is very nice.

Have fun everyone.

Including yours? Your grilled sous vide pork looks delicious for sure.

If that blower is quieter than a hair dryer, I think it's time for you to invest in a new hair dryer!

I enjoy pulled pork, but I also love grilled pork sliced, mixed, inside and out.

E'Lux Icon Micro+Oven Combi
Q

There are pros and cons for sure. The problem with stacked separtes is that on micorwave oven with doors that open down, if they are too high they will be difficult for my wife to use. With separates you not only need to account for the required separation between the two units (usualy 3") but the oven below also has a control panel, which in a combi oven is not there. So in a combi the upper microwave is at a good height for my wife. I could lower the oven but then the oven is kind of low. In a combi repairs is a concern as you stated. A combi can weigh 250 pounds, not exactly easy to deal with. BTW.. Jenn-air makes a combi with a speed oven on top. Many have negative views of Jenn Air on here, mostly from before they were bought out my Whirlpool. Then again not many Whirlpool admirers either! So what's a person supposed to do? The new E'lux units which are not yet shipping, look like an alternative to Whirlpool and Jenn-Air. Most other combis look like a regular microwave with a decorative trim panel to make it look like an intgerated unit. Ugly in my opinion.

extremely cold kitchen

I have been doing battle with a similar kitchen. House was built in 1832, I have blown in insulation in the walls, insulated the floor from the basement and it still hasnt helped. Do you by any chance have a fireplace in your kitchen? I do and it includes a dutch oven with it's own flue connection, a warming bench with a clean-out style door under it, so my next plan of attach may be a top sealing damper to prevent cold air from coming down the chimney and either chilling the brick-mass or finding it's way in through other unclosed flues. My kitchen has one radiator which seems to throw enough heat for the room. I would have to agree with wianno about the result of adding a cold air return. Good luck Paul

Baking in Bluestar Platinum
Q

John, yes that is how the Platinum heats as well, but with the air blowing from the side and top the side of anything in the over that is facing the window is undercooked compared to anything on the interior sides. Rotting often has helped. rtyburn, I understand you now. I'm Baking bread at high temp. The oven is pretty well insulated when not opened -- Good idea setting it to 500 then turning down the heat to avoid the fan coming on for a while. For anyone on a BS--do you find that the upper racks cook quicker than the lower racks. Most recipes that call for browning on a baking sheet on the lowest rack don't work in the gas oven. Any good work arounds?

"It bugs me that my AC runs all day and into the evening after it's siginificantly cooler outside than in." A window unit shouldn't keep running through a cool evening and into the night unless the thermostat on it is set at an unreasonably or unnecessarily low temperature.

The perfect texture of that pork comes across clearly in the still photos. Even more so in the video where it can be seen as it is pulled apart. Beautiful color too.

As for what is BBQ, that is a question deserving its own thread.

Just 40 seconds into the video with the use of the leaf blower - the coals are already whiter (hotter).

You should have posted the video in that other thread. It would've gotten the point across from the get go.

My dad used to fan the coals with a piece of cardboard. The concept is still the same.

Thanks FOAS. You will notice on the video that the leaf blower is a special one. It is mini-leaf blower that is just a little bigger than a hair dryer. I like to use that one because it is very tiny. However, I do need to operate it at higher speed so it is noisier. Also it was right next to the microphone and I had the volume way up.

One of life's inexpensive delights. Can't wait until I have my own heirloom tomatoes to go with my pulled pork.

Thanks Jim. A picture is worth a thousand words. A video makes everyone hungry. :-)

You may be right. A video from the get go would have change the direction of the discussions. But who can tell what direction that might turn out to be. :-)
