Anova clamp broke apart during cook... ideas?

[rickgregory]

So my Anova clamp broke in two places during a cook (just... broke. Not even moving it... weird).


I was planning on doing a lamb shoulder. I can freeze it and do it later (I've emailed Anova for a replacement) but do any of you have any ideas on how to jury-rig something to hold the circulator in place? I could try epoxy on these but... I'm not sure how it will hold if the clamp gets warm as it will being next to a 150F pot of water...

C clamp on container and hose clamp to attach Anova to C clamp. Anything for a spacer for the C clamp. I always keep a pack of hockey pucks handy to protect surfaces from clamps.

Yeah, I was thinking a C clamp rig of sorts as well.

Or order pizza. 🕶

With respect for rickgregory , & beer!

Kathy does almost that exact pizza but she uses naan bread as the crust. Really good CaptainMike.

Any kind of a sauce Donw

[Donw]

CaptainMike. She says a pesto and at the end a little drizzle of good olive oil.

Yes - what Don said.

I'm distressed that anyone would mention pizza.... without talking about beers.

Get a string and hang from ceiling light or hook ?

So I did a couple of short 1 hour cooks this week with it just basically propped against the side of a small circular cambro. Anova just shipped me a new clamp so I can do the larger cook I've got planned (the lamb shoulder I smoked last weekend which is frozen atm). Mmmmm lambbbb...

To close this off, Anova shipped me a new clamp which feels a bit sturdier, no charge. Took 4 days to get here but I have to give them props for doing it.
