Well, my wife gave me an immersion circulator for Christmas.
I picked up a Coleman Party Stacker 48 can cooler for my water bath and cut the 2.5" hole in the lid. Most people go to that point and they're good to go. I, however, can never leave well enough alone, and I have a 3D printer.
I fabricated a bracket that is bolted to the lid of the cooler to clamp the cooker in, much like the bracket it came with. And, since I will be storing it in the cooler, I made a dust cap to close the hole for storage.
The marks for min and max water level are hard to see, and since the cooker is clamped to the lid, pretty much useless. So, to that end, I am currently printing a gauge that clips over the edge of the cooler to show the levels while you're getting things ready.
I'm planning to do NY Strip steaks on New Years Day, so wish me luck with my first endeavor.
