I always add a chunk of Mesquite or Hickory to my lump when I reverse sear my steaks. I love that little smoke flavor.

That sounds like a great idea as long as you put it in the bag with lots of butter and salt and pepper.

This is definitely going to be the next vegetable I will sous vide.

Kenji has a recipe for this........

Let us know how it goes.

Bags lost their seal and I'm having trouble keeping all cobs submerged. Think it's the high heat that make it lose seal? 183 degrees

Nope. If sealed properly it should stay closed. I have a rack to keep things submerged if there's a bit of air in the bag. Sometimes that's going to happen, but ideally you don't want any air so that the convection from the water can be optimized.

Hm. Maybe I had some butter or salt on the seal. 90% is submerged, they'll still be legit I think.

Always fold the bag over two inches or so to prevent food/oil interrupting the seal and to prevent cross contamination.

I like to use a tall plastic container (like the ones used to store spaghetti) to load my bags. Fold the bag over the top of the container a bit, this frees up a hand and prevents getting anything on the portion of the bag that is sealed.

I actually put my cast iron pan over my crawfish butane jet burner. I get a perfectly seared crust.
