High end steak houses first started using the method because any cut of steak can be sitting there for hours, ready to go at a minutes notice, and be perfectly cooked. Just take it out, put grill marks on it, and perfect everytime. Home chef, same. I can get the sous vide going early in the day. Dinner time, when everything else is ready, take steaks out and finish. No longer have to time everything else around the steak. Bottom line, perfect steaks everytime, and I mean everytime. And I mean perfect medium rare from corner to corner. Edit: let me add, getting the SV going is same as filling a soup pot. Last edited by Sapphireho; 07-08-2023 at 04:21 PM. |

Seeing as the partial burn through could've compromised the area, I would be "worried" about a crack forming at that spot. Just seems like a point for premature failure. Doesn't much matter at this point because I also have the Motiv overpipe that I ordered from a different vendor. Upon looking closely at that part, I can see that one part of the inside of a flange weld has evidence of partial burn through as well. But it's a much smaller area and its only one spot. But still. I guess I can either choose to install these pieces or not.

You mean the walls of the tube/pipe are too thin to weld at such high settings?

Doesn’t really look like it is undercut which is good, but it was too hot in some places and you usually don’t want to do so many start/stops.

it looks like my welds. to say, it looks like a new welder that wasn't completely comfortable with the gear, or the settings.
it looks either undercut, or not enough filler rod to me at least. the 1/8th-turn start/stop stuff definitely doesn't help the cause at all.
