Tried everything, even calling the manufacturer. Nothing worked. Returned it to amazon and asked for a replacement. They started to ship it, but then cancelled it. Sent me an email that there seemed to be a problem with this particular "device" and they wouldn't be sending me a replacement. So...

Thanks Bryan and Virgil. I'll look at both of those things.

Thanks for all the info, i did everything suggested, but still no lasting seal. I'm going to call foodsaver tomorrow, and then look at sending it back and getting another. Bummer!

I receive the FoodSaver v840 for my b/day. And have since experimented with about ten items - salami, bread, avacodos, etc. to see how it works. Problem is, it isn't. Seems I'm getting a miniscule leak every time. After about two hours, air has reentered the pouch. I've made sure that the bag...

Thanks for all the info everyone. Much appreciated. I think I'll go with the 11" rolls, and see if I can swing by my local costco and see if they have any.

The first new toy for this season is a food saver. For those of you who have one, what size of bag(s) do you recommend I get?

Thanks Doug, I'll do that.

I'm doing the site's pastrami recipe with two briskets (both flats) - one 7.5# and one 4.5#. Started the cure process on the bigger one tonight (Sunday 10:30p) and plan on starting the smaller one Monday morning. The bigger one is rather thick (approx. 3" toward the middle) that I felt I needed...

Does anyone know of places that sell bbq pits similiar in style and quality of Klose that are in the midwest (e.g. Michigan, Ind, Ohio, Ill)? Hey the wife is kinda cool with me "upgrading" so who am I to argue.

Great pics bruce. What was your brine solution? and where did you get the seasonings? p.s. Ray, I often use my smoker in my garage when its rainy or windy. I just move it in about five or six feet, leave the g/door up, and make sure the back door is wide open so the smoke doesn't settle. Works...

I know I've said this before on previous posts, but I think about it every time I see a post like this: I sure am thankful for my local butcher. In these days of huge superstores that have little or no inclination to correctly train (and pay their people accordingly), butchers are a dying breed...

Don Pablo's has a sweet corncake that borders on being a dessert. Very sweet, moist, with whole kernels in it. Looks to be baked. Comes in a bowl and needs to be eaten with a spoon. Does that sound similiar?

Well, I went ahead and smoked it anyway. Came out pretty tasty. Should be a hit tomorrow. I think that I'm going to chase down the butcher at Meijers (not an easy thing to do) and confront him on whether or not it was "fresh" or "farm-raised". thanks for all the comments. All were very helpful.

Oh great. Thanks for the info Jim. But, I don't think i'll tell the wife that one, she'd probably swear off fish altogether.

I'm getting the distinct feeling that even though it didn't say "farm raised" on the pkg. that, in fact, is what I have. Bummer. ps. Adam, our costco only carried it for 2 or 3 months. Their back to the farm-raised stuff now.

I am so clueless when it comes to fish. I have a little christmas breakfast to go to this weekend and thought that a piece of smoked salmon would be nice to take (along with some fresh bagels and cream cheese). I stopped by my local meijer superstore and surprise, surprise, they have fresh...

I wound up going to hd, nine and change for a 40#. They had it stuck back out of the way. The clerks didn't even know where it was.

Auughhhhh! I'm down to 40 pounds of charcoal. Anybody seen or heard of any end-of-season sales going on at the national chains?

Yeah, all that seems to have been my experience. Except, for not foiling my water pan. Had to scrub it for twenty minutes (really, I swear!)to get it clean.

I have a question for all the pork butt pros out there. Background first: put a 10.5, bone-in pork shoulder on the wsm at 4:00p (9/28). Full ring of charcol, mm method. Stablized the temp at 230ish and let her run. Got up at 4:00a the next morning. Meat temp at 172, wsm temp at 219 (grate)...
