re: Vacuum Packer

Love my JVR Vac100
I got this rack simply because it fit under my stairs and fit what I needed (middle Atlantic is the brand). Its more of a AV rack then network but I was able to fit everything I need with some trail and error. Everything is ran to that room and I have a small useless AC duct in there so I leave the door open. It only gets to the high 80s low 90s but the fans are loud and it’s hot when I sit at my computer in there. I bought the rack used off eBay. 2U fans blowing in at the bottom and 2U fans blowing out at the top. There is a 1U fan on top of the Denon amp that blows out. First time building a rack, it was fun but a lot of learning and trial and error. I’m still going to change it up a bit.

Do you know about when that happened? I noticed my side gigs website orders fell off a cliff like mid year this year.

I tried this with Blue Bell Coffee ice cream last week and it was awesome. Just beat an egg or two, add a scoop of blue bell and mix that up in lieu of adding milk or cream, briefly plop your bread in on both sides, then it going onto the very hot skillet with clarified butter. I'll post pics next time.


That does sound good. Top it with anything?

Curious as to why as well. I just bought a fully occupied 4plex that in a vacuum (always rented and no repairs) I'll make 20% annually ROI after paying the mortgage, insurance, and taxes.
Love my RFX stuff so far. Yes the app is a bit clunky but I love my thermapen a lot and its always been spot on with the temp so I will make do with the app. I just used mine to fry a turkey with a few probes in the bird submerged and the 12" probe. Also look at the billows fan attachment for different grills to control the temps in them along with the food on them.

I have a Sonos amp inside running some Definitive Technologies outdoor speakers, but I also have the Sonos sub outside. I am on the 2nd one, but the other lasted probably 7 years. I should have taken it in for freezing temps, I think. It works, but something is loose inside, and it rattles. It made such a big sound difference that I replaced it with a new one. You could mount it on its side up high under a patio cover. One day, when I'm not so lazy, I may do that.

Yea that is one drawback to them for sure. I got in the habit of having a cup of water with me for high-heat cooks lol. I have an XT now, but it's having some temp swing issues. I don't have much drive time on it yet.
I’m in charge of getting the turkey and shrimp n mirliton casserole.

Got my bird hanging out to dry up some :lol:

I noticed it was down a year or two ago. I never found a replacement. I wish there was I liked messing with friends with it :lol:

You buying one?


I have in the past and I'm not opposed to more in the future. The one I got was fat like the Costco one A5 BMS 12. I think a lower BMS would be better over all since it would have a little more meat to it but I still enjoyed the one I got. I trimmed off some of the fat and made some tallow to cook with as well. Its not for everyone but I wanted to share since the price is pretty good for what you are getting.
12lb roast $889 shipped overnight ($210 off). Yea I know its still pricy but its a good price on what it is if anyone was ever looking. You can cut it up and refreeze portions. With it being so rich you only eat a little bit at a time so you can get a good amount of meals out of it. Slice it up into 24 8oz portions and its $37.05ea.

Yes you need 4 gallons to fill it enough for the baskets. If you decide you want a 2.5gal without a stand I have a NIB in laffy for less than new. nolagt3 at gmail

I wanted to mention one thing I found when looking at them is they are the only ones I saw that you could mix in real wood chips with the pellets to up the smoke flavor. You have to buy the special sized chips from them but it is still a nice option IMO if you must have pellets.
