Fordman, welcome. The Tilia Food Vac . is a decent price and can be found on sale... you should discuss the purchaes of one , life gets easier then, and the Q will be there,(un-frezer Burned) until you want it.

Beats me that folks freeze their BBQ, it doesn't last that long around here, the Munchkins get it before it gets a day old...

No body that has a tilia had ever had the heat bar go bad? Where can you get parts for the vintage tilia's.

I can vouch for the folks in Dave's link.  I have a vacupack, same as the vacufresh,  These people know their stuff!  I was able to completely refurb mine and all I had to buy was new foam strips.  Make sure you go through the site to see how to fix yours up inexpensively.
