SOUS VIDE heated hot water bath.

CANNON-MAN:
I have a question? Has anyone ever used one of the circulating Sous Vide water circulator/heaters attached to an insulated cooler to make a hot water bath system to finish sausage in a water bath. I have never used one of the heating / circulating type of heaters and was wondering how efficient they would be in heating a batch of sausage in a camp cooler, It might take two of them but they will need to reach temperature of 160F. Having a insulated container like a cooler would make it easier to heat the volume or water you would need. Let me know if any one has tried it.
Salmonsmoker:
Kirby,
That's the way I do all of my sausage. My sous vide "cooker" is a Coleman cooler that's sized height-wise for the length of my unit. It's super efficient, and the insulated container increases the rated volume of H2O that the unit is rated to maintain. I don't do "Kirby-sized" batches of sausage, though. :)
ClimberDave:
I use a cooler for larger cooks, 160 shouldnt be a problem, just depends on the size of the cooler and what the circulator rating for water volume, My cooler was 24qts and it worked fin, just took a bit of time to preheat.
