    Chamber Vacuum's - Which One(s)

    Food Savers just aren't cutting it anymore and with the cost of the bags eating into meat sale savings, I'm looking to investing in a vacuum chamber. Does anyone have any experience with: Cabela's VPC115 - https://www.cabelas.com/product/CABELAS-VPC-CHAMBER-MACHINE/1849756.uts Or LEM's...

    I own one and it works just fine. Found it on sale at Academy for 75$. Upgraded to a LEM 10# for convenience.

    How long does it take you to get your sausage up to temp? And what IT do you pull? 32mm casings.

    135 IT? According to what I've read - thats too low and the magic # is 152 IT. Are you saying its safe to pull now for an ice bath? Its now at 145 IT and has been above 135 for 8 hours.

    I've got the MES sitting at 170 now and IT has bumped a few degrees. MODERATOR: I realize this is in the wrong place. Please delete. I have recreated this thread under "Sausage". Apologies for the oversight.
