Vacuum sealer

[zackblain]

Was fortunate to down a Nice early season buck and spent most of the afternoon cussing out my current food saver vacuum sealer. What’s everyone using for a vacuum sealer? Never been impressed with my food saver and need to upgrade. Is it worth investing in a chamber vac or is a “commercial” cabelas, Weston or LEM sufficient?

If you search, there was a similar conversation about a week or two ago.

I run a nesco, have had it almost 7 years and it's pretty indiscriminate when comes to brand of bags.

I had an issue with the Food Saver. It would vacuum, but not enough so that it got to the heat seal stage. 
 

I determined it was due to residue on the lower foam pad. I replaced that, and it’s back to working great.

I got the 12 inch commercial double seal one from cabelas. Just got it this year so only did 3 bears and one deer so far but the double seal is nice! The gf has used it on a bunch of her vegetables she likes it.

Weston Brands ....Invested in a good one eight yrs. ago and it's still going strong

Ordered a Weston pro-1100 unit, will report back after the next deer.

The pic of that buck on the ground is so-so but the one where you are holding him is awesome.   Congrats on a really nice buck, wow.

Something I learned in Mexico [emoji1166]. Get some zip locks a 5 gallon bucket of water. Put your venison in the bag then lower the bag into the water up to the seal. Seal it shut Presto a vacuum seal!

Same thing I learned fishing the keys

thanks for the comments on the deer guys, so far the weston pro-1100 is leaps and bounds ahead of the food saver.
