Unless i am wrong, the pressure system here seems to be quite a bit different than an instant pot, it seems like a full fledged boiler, controls and valves. Still interested in this thing from a mechanical view.
Intriguing. I love my pressure cooker, and the idea of a pressure smoker always gets my interest. Still, I don't know if I really want to smoke things on an accelerated time scale.
Stock on the other hand...I just like to get it done and packaged...

The description of the brisket tell me everything I need to know…
There’s brisket that is fully cooked and more or less edible…and then there’s properly smoked brisket.
I mean, one could cook a brisket in their oven hot & fast as well. It will be cooked & safe to eat…but it probably won’t make a lot of people happy. I also don’t need ribs done in thirty minutes. I can easily do both of those on a day off and grill something else instead.
​​​​​​​I can’t help but think that everything would taste closer to boiled rather than smoked. Pass
I did high-pressure & -temperature experimentation for a living before I became a full time bureaucrat. Under NO circumstances would I want a pressure vessel of any kind involved in smoking meat. Nothing but logistical headaches and safety issues...
Not sure why, but I am reminded of this great passage from a 1987 book called Chaos by the fantastic science writer James Gleick, all about fractal mathematics and how it has revealed new ways of understanding some natural processes. As an experimentalist, I have always loved this quote...
"Theorists conduct experiments with their brains. Experimenters have to use their hands, too. Theorists are thinkers, experimenters are craftsmen. The theorist needs no accomplice. The experimenter has to muster graduate students, cajole machinists, flatter lab assistants. The theorist operates in a pristine place free of noise, of vibration, of dirt. The experimenter develops an intimacy with matter as a sculptor does with clay, battling it, shaping it, and engaging it. The theorist invents his companions, as a naïve Romeo imagined his ideal Juliet. The experimenter's lovers sweat, complain, and fart."
Thanks for your input, same per my post. I was saying the same thing but received an insulting comment that i never head of an instant pot, which confirmed my concerns of a steam generator being in the hands of the public. I spent the first ten years of my career in manufacturing steam generators. I believe i have some knowledge to back up my statements.
