About your gloppy ribs? Yeah, I read it. It came after your douchey proclamation about how the rest of us were unenlightened cavemen and your picture of your worse than Chili’s ribs. Oh, and then you told me I obviously was lying about using a Sous Vide. That’s when I unloaded on you.

So feel free to apologize for…

No, the nastiness is over an asshole who’s proclaiming that we’re all “Stupid Texans” and such. Then, said asshole tells us we’re liars when we tell him that we’ve tried “his way” and found it not up to snuff. I’m treating a childish prick like the child he or she it, and I don’t feel the least bit bad about it.

I totally threw out the boiled ribs thing as a crack, and he latched on to it like a drowning man latches on to a life preserver. The point I was obliquely making is that when you smoke ribs, you get a certain texture that you won’t get using a sous vide. Even if you oven finish them, you’re going to lose out on that…

Well put. The OP came off like an ass, and I treated him as he deserved. The “Well you’ve obviously never cooked ribs in a sous vide” comment set my teeth on edge. Hopefully he’ll understand that he got blasted for being a condescending douche.

(Not that I wasn’t being an ass to him. I was. But man, that kind of…

I have yet to take offense. You’re neither effective enough nor interesting enough to offend me. Go swig some liquid smoke, bad cook.

Think what you want. You’ll just end up being wrong. Are you going to defend liquid smoke next?

Yeah, gas is definitely a better choice. You just can’t get that great a combustion from electric. I was having some success with a carpathian smoker added in to my electric smoker before I moved on to gas. I haven’t needed that little gizmo since.

Who says I haven’t experienced it? You certainly fit the stereotype of a douche who talks out of his ass more than he should... and of someone who has no fucking clue how to cook worth a shit.

Here’s a hint skippy: I’ve tried damn near everything in my sous vide. I cook all the time. The fact that you even touch…

When your sauce stops looking like monkey piss, get back to me!

(Kidding... I like NC style just fine on occasion!)

Do they have a discount on the Lisa Nowak one?

Do they have a discount on the Lisa Nowak one?

Why bother? The silver skin actually helps retain moisture, and the removal is really not worth the effort. I never remove it, and frankly, never feel the need.

That being said, if you must, then use the right tool.

There are compelling arguments for removal as well as for letting it be. But frankly, I like the way my…

Face it: Your ribs suck. Let me guess, you’re in Illinois? Toronto? Florida? Certainly not anywhere where people actually know what good ribs taste like. I’m in Texas, by the way. Aside from Kansas City and Memphis, there’s nobody who knows as much as we do about ribs. You obviously don’t know anything. I’m pretty…

So the steaks I prepared last night weren’t in my Sous Vide that I’ve been using since last Christmas? How strange! I guess I’ll contact Anova and tell them they didn’t sell me a sous vide cooker!

If it’s your only option, I say go for it. I didn’t think I’d use mine as much either until I smoked my first chicken... I haven’t eaten roasted chicken since.

I went with an electric... then a propane. The results are MUCH better on the propane with just about the same ease of use as an electric. But man the meat is better on the propane!

BBQ Country? KC? Heh... Texas, sir... THAT’S BBQ country!

This is the one I bought. It’s my second smoker. There are caveats to it depending on what you’re looking for.

I want smoked food that tastes good and is mostly fire and…

I have a sous vide. I use it at least once a week.

Do you know what I never use it for?

Ribs, dammit. I have a smoker for those, and your badly boiled ribs won’t touch my smoked pieces of heaven.

Well, we know why you aren’t making the decisions.

He’s innocent until proven guilty. Sure. If this were a court of law. It isn’t. It’s a court of opinion. You don’t have to be proven guilty to lose out when 6 women, some who are pretty well known, come out and tell about what a disgusting asshole you are. People…
