so it's been a while since I've posted. Just graduated from law school last week and bar study is in full swing.
anways I have about $150 that I've decided to actually spend on myself (in cheap and usually don't do this)
what would you get for cooking?
i was thinking a good knife set? Maybe a sous vide?
for your viewing pleasure, here is a table and kamado setup that I built about a month ago (and a photo from graduation)

Congrats and get a sous vide

Congrats. How 'bout putting it towards a kamado of the green variety? Just kidding. KJ is a fantastic product.
My vote would be an MK4 Thermapen. -

Awesome. Congrats on law school. I did some time then decided to go the business route. All that jargon made me sleepy.
For that hat price I would get a sous vide. You're still about $100 short on 1 "good" knife. But it's better to have 1 great one than a set of junk.

Congrats to you, stranger! Keep that picture as a memory of the last time you didn't have you button your collar, pull up your necktie and polish your shoes. Little things still matter in the professional world you are entering! BTW after the bar exam then what and where do you plan to enter the profession and doing what...other than getting coffee for the older staff?Re-gasketing America one yard at a time.

Congrats on your accomplishment!
You can find the Anova on Amazon for $99 to $109 and get a Victorinox Fibrox 8" chef's knife (best value in a knife you will find and a very fine tool) for $40...
Boom. -
Congratulations!! My recommendation would be the MK4 thermapen as @GrateEggspectations already mentioned and the victorinox 8 inch chef knife. The thermapen is a game changer...cook to temp not to time and the chef knife is a great everyday knife for the price.

Congrats. Welcome back, nice table and good luck on the bar!Snellville, GA

First up congrats on the professional milestone. No lawyer jokes tonight.
Going against the grain here, I would spring for a SRF black grade brisket. Get your friends together, do it up and celebrate. You can always buy hardware.Louisville; Rolling smoke in the neighbourhood. # 38 for the win. Life is too short for light/lite beer! Seems I'm livin in a transitional period. -
Congrats on graduating. Welcome back, we'll look forward to more posts about you.Slumming it in Aiken, SC.

Congratulations on graduating. Your table looks bitchen but why did you paint your egg red? IMHO don't buy knives in sets, they give you a bunch of fillers. Sous Video is always a nice addition.XLBGE, LBGE, MBGE, SMALL, MINI, 2 Kubs, Fire Magic Gasser

@slovelad - well then take 'em all up a few notches. At least you could appreciate the left-overs but I get it. Again congrats and whatever you decide, don't look back.Louisville; Rolling smoke in the neighbourhood. # 38 for the win. Life is too short for light/lite beer!

Congrats on the graduation. I would agree with the others who suggest a thermapen, assuming you don't already have something that serves this purpose.Stillwater, MN

Well I pulled the trigger on the anova sous vide and the 8" victoriknox knife. Win win!

Man, some kind of genius must have pointed you that direction.

Congratulations and nice choice on how to spend the coin.

I would buy a custom GMAC knife. They are very expensive but worth twice the price.Mt Elgin Ontario - just a Large.
