I should mention, I have a buddy who is using sous vide for European mounts too, with amazing results. We’ve traditionally used bucket heaters, but the sous vide circulates the water and allows for controlled temp, so it significantly cuts the time from the bucket heater. But without breaking down the bone like boiling.  He bought a second one for this purpose, so he’s not using his cooking version.

For the folks that have a quality smoker controller (Auber is one) with a probe, you can put a large pan inside the smoker, immerse the probe in the water and let it heat it up and control the temp. Mine will hold the temp to 1/2 degree. I close off the vent so it holds in all the heat.
I let it heat up and stabilize for 4 hours then drop in the food item and set the lid on top of the pan so less vapor escapes.
It works good and I do not have to buy another item to have stored in the shop.

When cooking several steaks at a time I could see benefit to searing with a torch. Any reason I can’t use a propane weed torch for this?

The yellow propane cans are what's recommended for food. With steaks, I usually pan-sear. 1 minute on each side in a hot skillet.

I just did this over the weekend. Worked fantastic.

I have a container like Piano Man's. Just to note....I like to put a folded towel under mine while running the sous vide. If you do a higher temp cook, the extended heat transfer from the container to the counter top, or in my case, a large butcher block, can cause delamination issues. Just consider your surface underneath the container. Formica and less expensive counter tops can take a beating.
