I apologize for taking this off topic:
propchef, you mentioned "I sous vide frequently!". Can you recommend a decent immersion circulator that won't break the bank?. It doesn't have to be the best, just functional. My interest is large 1 1/2" bone-in ribeyes and chicken breast.
What temperature do you recommend for chicken?
Thanks
Now back to your regular scheduled program

I have a vacuum sealer. I buy large end prime ribs when on sale and cut it up into steaks. This year they are $5/lb at Krogers. I season, seal and freeze them until time to cook.
Now comes the tricky part. Once thawed, I place them in a 5gal pot with 3gal of water and TRY to maintain that at 140 deg for 90 minutes on the stove top. The more water in the pot, the easier it is to hold the temperature. Remove from bag, dry, season and brown on the Weber for a few minutes each side. They come out perfect all the way to the bone.
I just need to take it to the next level with a circulator so I don't have to nurse it for 90 minutes. The circulators I find are $200 and up. I guess I'll have to pay to play.
I haven't tried chicken breast yet because I'm unsure of a safe temperature. I believe I'll need a circulator to do chicken safely.

Our galley has an Elkay 22โx 25โ SS single bowl sink, standard Suburban RV stove w/ 3 burners, and a microwave. I made a 2 piece cover for the sink for more counter space. I hope to remove the stove this winter, make a new top and install a 2 burner cooktop. We use a Cuisinart convection toaster oven that will live where the stove was and come out when needed. We do use the microwave. The stove hood is noisy but works pretty well. Also have a Fantastic Fan in the galley area. Never have had a ventilation problem.
The dinette is opposite the galley and the table is used quite often as a countertop.
95% of cooking meat/fish is done outside on a 22โ Weber Kettle grill. Sides are usually on the grill or on the cooktop. I really have never had the need for more than one burner inside and have found the front burner adequate, but I am not using cast iron.
We also believe in eating simply, but with as good ingredients as possible.
Good luck to you in your endeavor.

Sounds like you're all set then. Oh, BTW, for the record I was not talking about 1 10" skillet. I was talking about a whole set of CI cookware.
Good luck and have fun!

Something wayyyyyy toooo biggg for your BMW.
Someone made a comment about getting an enclosed trailer and having it fitted out for you. Given that your budget is in airstream levels, that's actually a viable option if you can find a good carpenter who understands that it will still have weight limits. Now you can spec stove, fridge, sink, water tanks...etc..

What is the towing capacity of your X5? That will be a good place to start.
It's a Class 3, so 6000 lbs GVW and 600 lb tongue. BMW forbids the use of load stabilizing hitches. I'd rather stay in the 20-22 ft range.
Again, just the two of us so we won't be loaded up.
