    Tilia Foodsaver

    The last I knew Thom Dolder at Professional Marketing Group still stocked parts for the original Italian made Tila Nozzle machine & also the original Italian made channel machines.

    The even higher prices of chicken wings

    IMHO, At $2.89, perfectly smoked ribs are a better deal. With a dry rub, less mess at a party as well.

    Food Saver recommendations?

    They just can't be beat, especially for wet / slimy items that release liquid when sucking out the air. Won't hurt the pump & the powerful seal bar burns right through it. Most often problem occurs when the pads get crushed when the top 1/2 is left in the seal position when stored. Grainger...

    Food Saver recommendations?

    Dave,  Couldn't agree more. Had 1 for years & still works great. I just picked up another for $35.00 on ebay.

The original "nozzel style" Foodsaver, sold under the names (foodsaver, vacufresh & vacupack)  was designed by the original engineers to have...

    Cracked Big Green Egg Charcoal Grate

    Hi, new to the site. I have had a Big Green Egg for about 10 years and use it for both low/slow smoking & high temp steak sears. I have had 2 of the cast iron fire grates that support the lump charcoal crack in half. I was wondering if anybody has had a similar experience and if an alternative...

    Tilia Foodsaver

    Newbie to this site. I bought my first original Foodsaver nozzle style vacuum sealer from Thom Dolder at Proffessional Marketing Group about 4 years ago. Thom was one of the first to sell the original when it first came out in the 1980's and bought the patent when food saver changed to the...
