OK, Brian, I'd like to agree with you again, especially inasmuch as
acknowledging that we all make mistakes now and then (misfingers, is what I
call 'em)...and if you feel the need to let the uninitiated, the great
unwashed know that an error has been made, not to be duplicated or taken as
norm, well, that's OK, it's your right.
Personally, I have smaller fish to clean and fry, but if that's what blows
your hair back, go for it.
frohe tried to make a point too and I also agree with him, which is briefly,
"It's a waste of time."
Kevin might disagree (his right, of course and considering his admirable
defense of internet law and rights, he deserves respect), but considering
the vast numbers of noobs that enter the internet every day (geometrically
increasing, methinks), calling "Ooops, you shouldn't have done that" on guys
we know, like Fos, seems kinda pointless to me.
Wow, that might be a bit convoluted.
To be vaguely on-topic, I bought a Tilia 800 today and the sumbitch is
pretty awesome.
And to be on-topic, I vacuum-sealed some barbecued pulled pork and brisket
with it and it worked great.

I have been thinking about ways to store the leftovers from a shoulder.
Where can I get some info on this Tilia thing?

I prefer to think of it as, new people are joining all time, some of
them inexperienced, why not try to make the conventions clear?

That has not been my experience.

Good guess.
They call it the "foodsaver". I can remember my Grandmother having something
called a "foodsaver" gosh must be 20 years ago. Looks like the same thing.

thanks

I bought one last year on the reccomendation of posters to this
newsgroup and have been very happy with it. For reheating 'Que it
can't be beat (even in a microwave which I usually avoid like the
plague).

I bought a Foodsaver Pro II (their biggest most powerful, etc. model)
new from a seller on ebay and it has worked like a charm. Took two
whole smoked pork butts to work, reheated them in the microwave and
then served to my team at work (with some Raspberry-Chipotle BBQ sauce
of course. The reheated was ALMOST better than when it first came off
the Kamado.

Some folks had mentioned looking at some other brands of vacuum
sealers, most notably the Sinbo 280:
http://www.sorbentsystems.com/sinbo_bag_special.html
I don't recall seeing anyone posting a comparitive review, but would
be nice if someone who has used both could fill us in on how they
compare. The Sinbo is markedly cheaper (at least than the top-end
Tilias) and can seal non-channeled bags.

Also, a cool foodsaver accessory for camping is the Eurosealer
(http://www.we-save.com/eurosealer_a.htm). It's a handsized
battery-operated heat sealer that will reseal an opened foodsaver bag.
While it won't vaccuum seal, it will allow you to reclose a foodsaver
bag and have it be airtight. Useful for when you want to actually USE
that camera, then seal it up again.

I have a Foodsaver II from Tilia and a Sinbo VS280 from Sorbent Systems.
The Foodsaver requires patented channel bags while the Sinbo does
not. Bags for the Foodsaver cost upwards of 35 Cents/per depending
on size while bags for the Sinbo start around 7.5 Cents/per. The Sinbo
will evacuate and seal ziploks whereas the Foodsaver will not. Moot
point because ziploks are too fragile to be dependable. My Foodsaver
has accessories to evacuate jars. The Sinbo does not. Bags for both
machines are manufactured by Sorbent Systems. Bag sizes for Food-
saver are severely limited. A large number of bag sizes are available
for the Sinbo including sizes customized for such things as popsickles.
Both machines are limited to bags 12" wide. I prefer 6" X 8" and 8" X 12"
or my VS280 although I have a few 10" X 15" bags on hand. They look
like they'd hold a whole 4# chicken. Both machines provide an adequate
vacuum in my opinion. Past posters have argued the merits of the
machines based on (completeness?) of vacuum. I see no significant
difference in vacuum power that would cause me to choose one
machine over the other. I bought and prefer the Sinbo based purely
on cost of use (bags). I also enjoy the ability to buy a variety of
bag sizes on-line at very reasonable prices. I buy bags 400 at a time
to take advantage of the shipping cost. My last order totalled $44
or 11 cents/per including shipping. That was 200 6" X 8" and 200
8" X 12". (http://www.sorbentsystems.com/) (http://www.tilia.com/index.cfm)
