    Vacum Sealer Bags

    I have a food-saver and need to buy new bags. I usually buy rolls in 8" and 11" size. Does anyone have better sources to buy other then the food-saver website? I remember discussions about other brands that are just as good or better then food-saver and maybe cheaper. TIA for your help!

    High Temp Brisket Question

    I'm in the middle of my first high temp brisket cook with a 11.5# choice paccker. I'm averaging 330F or so and just foiled after 21/2 hours. Will the point be done at the same time as the flat or will I need to separate and put the point back on for a while?
