My suggestion for the not so skillful: Buy a SousVide Magic 1500D (160$) plus a mantled 1000W immersion heater (36$) ... plus an aquarium air pump (10$), fix the silicon tubing of the aquarium bubbler and the sensor of the SousVideMagic to the stainless steel guard of the immersion heater, and use it with any pot you have at hand. And here you are for 206$ without any tinkeringBasically, turn your SVM into an Immersion Circulator. The air pump circulates and the immersion heater gets hooked up to the SVM.
2. SVM/FMM In The Hottub
Pedro strikes twice in the same thread. This time he demonstrates how to use the SVM/FMM to turn your hot tub into a giant (130L!) sous vide water bath. He gives advice on how to vacuum seal a suckling pig whole, so you too can replicate Heston Blumenthal's Trojan Hog, as well as PID autotune and temperature results.
Seriously awesome stuff.
