    VACUUM SEALING DISCOUNT FOR ALL MEMBERS

    Any chance of getting a discount on the retort bags?   Also do you have any smaller order amounts than 1000?  I am getting the vacmaster vp545 delivered in a couple of days and would like to experiment with retort bags. Thank you

    Look what UPS dropped off today!

    Well , may be they did install it right. Ive only used the one time so far. But it seems that if the lip makes it easier to install , it would make it easier for the meat to slip past. I will try it the opposite way the next time and see how it works.

    I bought one that looks just like that, when I went to use it a lot of meat ended up on top of the pusher plate. Turns out they shipped it with the rubber seal on the plate installed backwards. Just something to check.

    I am also a member on http://www.wedlinydomowe.pl/en/      It seems the two sites would go hand in hand. It deals with sausage making and meat curing.  A lot of good information on both sites. I edited the url to put in the missing slash, so now anybody coming across this post in the future...

    vertical smoker idea

    Thought I would bounce an idea I had for a smoker. I thought about building a box undernieth one of these. it would have expanded steel on the above circle view. each one of the four could be turned independently or dropped to the bottom to make more room for bigger pieces of meat. The...
