    Maybe someone can elaborate. We just bought some bellies and we have pigs being processed soon. I would really like to produce a great maple flavored bacon. I really want a good dry recipe, and this is looking outstanding. Thanks.

    VacMaster Pro 350 vs 380

    I'm in the market for a new sealer. It gets various use throughout the year, but during deer season, it gets quite the workout. I think I want one of these VacMaster's. What exactly is the differences that I'm not seeing? I see wider bags on the 380, but the internals look the same? Anyone...
