Hi all,  getting my first BGE next weekend and wondering if anyone has any experience with using a Jaccard on meat cooked on a BGE and the reduced cook times that come with it.  Any input would be welcome, can't wait to do my first cook.
Pentwater, MI

    I use it on deer meat since it can be tough. It works well. I'm not sure i would use it on a good cut of meat.

    I have one and use it about half the time (depends on my level of preparation energy) on Brisket flats (only brisket cut I can get around here).  Haven't noticed any difference with cook times, tenderness or anything else with the cooks-probably need to do a side by side cook with the only variable (besides the hunk of beef) being the use of the Jaccard.  So, not much help here-

    I use it on a hanger steak to reduce the amount of time it needs to marinate.
