First ever Joule fail. It stopped heating sometime during the night, RIP our turkey for thanksgiving

    Ouch! I learned that lesson the hard way, too.

    ALWAYS put an alarm thermometer in the water. I use the same kind I use on the smoker, with a low and high alarm set. But I’m a weirdo who also has them on the fridge and freezers, too.

    I sometimes do a 24-hour roast and worry about this kind of fail every time. I wonder if the power went out — even for a second or two — and the Joule didn’t come come back on?

  3. I always ended up worry about it and checking it through out the night.

    Good luck!

    This post gave me PTSD from last year, had the same thing happen to a roast. I offer no solutions, just my condolences. Always check temp multiple times when doing long cooks.

  5. Same! Mine was pork but came home from work to sexy 80°F water. Real neat.

    The worst. The third time my joule failed and ruined our dinner (thankfully never any holidays or anything super expensive) I replaced it with an Anova.

    Sorry about your bird, but rookie question – how did you vacuum bag the turkey?
