    Another Year of Pecans Done

    I buy 10 pounds of shelled pecans every year. Vacuum seal them just like yours. At last count I'm using 5 refrigerator/freezers and 2 standup freezers.

    What to look at when buying used commercial Slicer - Globe

    It all depends on what you're slicing. Can your Chef's Choice slice up a 20"x12" slab of bacon? My over 40 year old Hobart 1712 can. I process over 250 lbs of pork bellies every month. A little Chef Choice slicer isn't up for that task. But I can also go and slice up some brick cheddar for a...

    What to look at when buying used commercial Slicer - Globe

    Most of the older slicers haven't had the best of care. Berkel and Hobart are usually not lubricated properly and the adjustment mechanism is gummed up. I've had to use a torch and a dead blow plastic hammer to loosen up the gauge plate rods. Best part is there's still a wealth of new old stock...

    What to look at when buying used commercial Slicer - Globe

    That's still kinda high for a used slicer. My first 1612 Hobart was $150. It burned up in my house fire. I bought a 1712 Hobart a couple years ago for $700. I also bought a Berkel for 250 but later sold it for the same price. Facebook Marketplace is good. Craigslist is another good resource...

    Torn between the vevor and avid armor

    Same here. I paid more, but I got the 16" Vacmaster 320 two years ago and haven't regretted it. I can do two 8" bags at once if needed

    Got My VEVOR Chamber Vacuum Sealer

    You might check the oil fill plug for tightness. Watch it while you seal something. Oil might be spraying out from there

    Bradley P10 opinions?

    The regular Bradleys are only half built. I ran a dual element controlled by an Auber PID that could do everything. Hot smoke, cold smoke (kinda) and ran rock solid.

    Buck Board Bacon Slicing ?

    I've done several buckboard bacon smokes. I tend to buy boneless butts when they go on sale, then use this stuff (Moo Goo) to seal the meat into one solid piece after curing and before smoking

    Drone

    I have 3. The Mavic 3 Classic, Mini 3 Pro, and a little Potensic Atom 3-axis. All are fun to fly and are solid flyers. Sometimes I'll just take the little Potensic because it's light, takes great 4k video and the kit is lighter than the Mini 3 Pro.

    Slicer Help

    But, why manhandle it when you can put it on a cart and wheel it anywhere in the house? BUT, if you do this, there's no manhandling of anything, just guiding it to wherever

    Vacuum sealer experiences. opinions requested.

    Webstruant store has the Vacmaster 360 for 250 bucks. I have one and it's rock solid. I use it now as a backup for my Vacmaster 320 chamber sealer

    Started Canadian Bacon

    I find that 3 weeks in the cure does the trick for me. We put up about 35-40 pounds every other month and sell it. Smoke it for about 5 hours @190 degrees, wrap and finish it off in the oven.

    Playa Del Carmen

    We've been going to Cozumel for years now. Couple of years back we took the ferry across to PDC. Streets are crazy full with pushy vendors. We ate lunch then hit the ferry back to Cozumel. We've seen PDC and have no desire to go back

    Favorite character on Yellowstone?

    1883 had just about every movie contrivance in it. McGraw and Hill ruined it for me.

    Not enough oxygen for the pellets. A tube smoker works better with a heat source like your setup
