Title: Who has seen this ?
Post by: yorkdude on August 13, 2018, 03:04:31 PM
Has anyone seen a "pressure smoker"?
There is a brand that is Honda motor powered, saw something on it this weekend.
I didn't spend too much time looking at it being busy but will look just out of curiosity.
The name is something like this  K-////.
Don't want to post a name or link.

I honestly don't know if I can say it.
I will wait to hear, I googled it as a "K pressure smoker".
It will be the first one that comes up as a non picture.

I just searched and found their website. I will say in a world where we want everything fast, this fits right in.

From what little I saw, it kind of looks like the meat is "steamed" ?
Especially the ribs.
Same here on the pass, just thought it was pretty dang different.
How I found that googling info on skin on bacon is besides me.
I showed my wife as we were going through the info and I got a BIG absolutely not.
She panics easily.

OK, now I've seen it.

No reason at all why a experienced cook cannot come out with some decent chow using that rig.
But I'm always somewhat skeptical about new cooking methods/equipment hitting the marketplace.

Hey, there are those that have gotten SkippyDippy over food put in a plastic bag and cooked in warm water. Aye?
 I haven't even tried that yet!


The final test for food coming out of this pup will be Appearance, Taste, Texture!

Sealed and vacuum pressure rated? With an external source for a liquid in a bucket at ambient pressure?  ::)

I will say it's a novel concept.

Some real creative pit making folks out there.  Looks pretty cool, but I am still trying to learn how to "master" (hahaha) my pit, and loving the process.  I think I will stay with my low and slow for the time being and see what happens in the future.

To me it is microwave BBQ!  And I dont mean that in a bad way, I just believe the pressure is a way of decreasing the time to cook.  And if you get enough smoke flavor in that time period why not?  Laugh at me if you want, I have never tasted better fried chicken then KFC original, some that are as good, but none better!

Those are fighting words.  Everyone knows that Popeye's spicy chicken is the best. :P

I like Popeye's it is good, I don't think it is as good as KFC original.  I have never been a fan of KFC Extra Crispy and Popeye's seems to be a hybrid of KFC Original and Extra Crispy!

There is an American company in Homer, LA that makes a similar, in function, smoker.  Plus fryers and grills.  It is called the Cajun Express Smoker and comes in 3 versions.  Same idea as the one at the start of this thread.  Several testimonials, but I couldn’t find an independent review.

They definitely have some unique units.  I'm kind of interested in their fryer and their grill.  They appear like they would function really really well.  I really like the burnerless aspect of their gas grill.
