They do have nice linens. And other stuff. As it happens, I'm over-linened (table linens and aprons) so I'm able to resist. It's fun to look, though. I'm glad you found something!

Morton's Coarse Kosher Salt, $3.67 for 3# on Amazon (eG-friendly Amazon.com link). I bought enough to last through this lifetime, then to preserve me after I die.

Ha! Same here. I missed that.

Costco currently has the GE Profile Indoor Smoker on sale for $600 (good through December 8th) -- online only, but ships for free (at least in the US).

I saw this and wondered about how effective the filtration is.  Only a couple reviews on the costco site and other websites have dozens of reviews varying opinions with questionable accuracy, detail, and objectiveness (most say that it is very good, although some say that smoke escapes out from the unit).  I've love to hear something more in-depth about how well it actually works.  I have sensitivity/reactions to odors (primarily to chemical fragrances in laundry products, air fresheners, and cheap shampoo), but smoke will sometimes trigger it too. My friend that has a commercial version of this in their kitchen has it located near the range under a 16 foot wide exhaust hood, so I couldn't really judge, but seeing that piece of equipment is what originally led me to the GE Profile home version.

I found the thread - https://forums.egullet.org/topic/166120-ge-profile-smart-indoor-smoker/

 

I came across are a few mentions in various places citing catalytic converter type technology to abate the smoke and it's effectiveness. 

I also watched a handful of videos published to youtube by FirstBuild.  The results look pretty good for an appliance, but some of the techniques that were used in the demos were not ideal.  It doesn't do anything that I can't already do with my Weber kettle, although the Weber can take more attention, adjustment, and familiarity to use.  

I think its main disadvantage is the capacity.  The FirstBuild demo showed the host having to cut a larger rack of sparibs in half to fit inside.  

I am in Phoenix, Arizona, so no extreme winters to affect bbq season.  If I lived in NY or a somewhere that had harsh winters, I'd seriously consider this.  I might actually buy it and send it to a friend in NY as a gift.  I'll check with him first though to make sure he is open to using something like this.

I personally wouldn't want an indoor smoker in my residence.  Good quality pellet smokers for your patio cost less and work well.

 

I should note, I also have two stick burners in my barn!

I just can't see reusing SV bags .  the ones I use are about $ 0.04 a bag.

 

I do reseal bags from the freezer , as Ive allowed for that . esp dry items .

I have a lot of trouble trying to wash out plastic bags. They're slimy and greasy, yuck. So the reusable silicone bags sit in the closet . . . 😎

From " once they're gone they're gone forever" I infer that they have new stuff coming out.

 

Not that I'm in the market, but I wonder what that would imply for tech support or warranty support.

I imagine you will get a full warranty 

 

it seems they have tried to move Tech @ Anova to a subscription model .

 

P.S.:  that move might just be the App .
