Real smoker on real wood: 8 chunks of charcoal and a stick of apple lit on one end for smoke. I'll boost up the temp after the ribs and put on 16 skinless thighs .69 $/lb (skin removed and put back on after an hour to let the skin's fat melt, crisp, on chicken as a baste) for a few hours
One day I may pick one up to use chips/ chunks in. I hear a fence post makes a great DIY of this:

OK fellow hunters, I might be onto something... Wow, this was awesome. And only 4 hours in the sous vide. Next time it'll be 6, maybe 8, hours in the water, but I an waaaaay happy with my first attempt (with only salt and pepper, no brining or anything). Here's the progression after the water: before the sear, after the sear, buttered and tented, and the final product.

Oh, I don't think that's right. You should just send that to me ASAP so i can properly dispose of that for you before you make the mistake of eating that. Free of charge. [Reply]
You sure you ain't playing a prank on us and that's a Prime Roast Beef??? :-)
Jesus H Christ that looks incredible. Did it retain any juice or moisture?

It's no joke, and the son and I did it on a whim. A "why not, we have burger for jerky, we like it better...". Yeah, we had pulled this roast out to slice it and make jerky...
As for the moisture, oh heck yeah! Next time will be 6-8 hours at 135 instead of 4'ish hours (and put in still mostly frozen, so......) just to tenderize it even more, but the flavor was AMAZING and the texture was better than I would have expected... And all we put on it was cracked pepper and sea salt.
Here's the "cow" it came from (I think it was this one...)... Moooooooo!!! :-)
