@TdeV I have no answer to you question . nothing should dry out @ 100 % steam. one thing Id consider : how are you placing the meat in the AO ? on a plate ? on a rack on a plate ? how does the heat circulate on the bottom of the meat ? where do the Jus from the meat ( as it contracts ) go ? I looked rather down that thread , and the meat sliced by some did look very good.

@TdeV please take some pics before and after ! as I see the Rx , the AOven is @ 100 % humidity ? wont dry out if this is the case. I have not used my AO just yet , so do not know its peculiarities . id make sure the water reservoir does not dry out. the rub has nothing to do w dryness . it's for flavor. and easy rub would be salt / freshly ground black pepper , then maybe granulated garlic and granulated onion or powder for the last two. N.B. have you used the AO @ 100 % humidity for this long ? thinking both the reservoir and drainage . best of luck ! Pics always appreciated , the more the better. bon appetite !

I agree w both of you. getting outside , for me , is not as easy as it once was. MC the cat , etc. the IDS keeps me ' Thinking Smoke ' that's it.

things like this exist because the internet is fueled for licks. Even clicks @ eG. Imagine an Internet w a click tariff : 1 cent / click ? 4 cents / click ?

rather than start a new thread ( unusual ) Ill post here : on the ladyfinger thread , a Goya cookie was recomended. I finally remembered to go down the ( extensive ) Goya isle @ MarketBasket , a local family owned chain I got these to try : they are not Goya , but from Brazil ( There is a Brazilian community in the area ) they are not sweet , and the milk flavor is a tiny bit burnt they remind me of cookies from way back when : like animal cookies , but not as sweet. Im going to study that Goya isle more closely .

@JoNorvelleWalker I agree re: IDS. far from perfect , but can be worked with. poor @gfweb he will be ' Tossing and Turning ... All Night Long ' for quite some time. at least until the next sale.

Prime Day is not what it used to be. Back then the discounts were good ones , designed to boost traffic at the site thus seriously boosting AMZN's stock price. and then the Swells cashed in their Options. These days , mostly to clear away junk. think back to the deals on hot items , like the iPots. year in and year out for a few years.

@gfweb 1) buy it . 2) park it . 3) wait for it. 4) sleep much better. QED I did.

Lets remember : the IDS is not perfect. but can be worked with and , if iin-door is meaningfull its the right deal. when one works with is , and the rest , is well woth what you get.

@gfweb Wrong thinking. 1 ) pull the trigger now. as its a very good deal , will not be repeated any time soon 2) Let The Box , as it did to me , Speak To You , later. 3) done. No Jibber-Jabber . Fiddle-Faddle , just Done.

@gfweb time to pull that rigger .

Correct its a prime day deal. and a very good one :

Its a Prime Day Deal :

@ 559.

@JeanneCake You bet . however , for some reason the kringles end up being much cheaper via TJ's if there is one near you. How Tj's does this , I do not know.

I have than same book. its a fine book.

Bill West's The Complete Electric Smoker is a fine book. its giving me many ideas thank you , @JoNorvelleWalker Ive sent the eBook to the WHPS https://forums.egullet.org/topic/164538-cooking-with-a-pellet-grill/#comment-2364331 for study. a P.S.: circular justs showed up CkLegs on sale next week. and its going to be cooler

@Smithy the problem w ' TJ's @ Amazon ' is the price. 3d party price gouging at its finest. but if one gotta have it , then one gotta have it. Im very fortunate : Tj's is 10 minutes away although they now open @ 9 AM rather than 8 AM. its always sometning.

@RWood you have A.C.?

@JoNorvelleWalker Thank you for the ref. to that book. I now have it as an e-book. Interesting Rx. it was so hot here last night , all I could do was cogitate on my next Projects w the IDS. ( ' GE ' put to bed ) and I thought Turkey Legs. I recall Jacque & Julia's TV series where they deconstructed a Turkey , and baked it that way. I used to do that , and added a step in removing the meat from the frame . however , J&J suggested chopping off an inch or two from the leg end , and after roasting one could easily pull the leg tendons out of the cooked meat. Ill try that in the IDS , and , added to J&J's work , also chop off 1/2 inch of the joint at the thigh end thus removing most of the tendon's as soon as turkey legs come on sale. Ill practice using the times and temps from the West Rx , on CkLegs on sale of course.

I had to look up ' Shrimp Pork' did not come up with anything that might fit a State Dish. Sooooo ...... ???

Wrapping gives you Jus , which you add to the Butt when making pulled pork.

Mexican-ish style ? vinegar and chili ?

@gulfporter did you go back and get 2 more ? Like Exercise and Economics bundled together don't see that too often.
