    While driving around the west this fall we saw a few factory conversions. Either we're going to convert a sprinter or transit, perhaps buy a bigger truck and hybrid trailer for snowbird times of year.
    Definitely like some feed back regarding what you consider the pros and cons

I slaughtered a cow about 2 weeks ago. I let it hang for 10 days and then butchered this weekend. I can grind a whole cows worth of hamburger in about 4 minutes on coarse grind and another 4 minutes on fine grind. The trouble is how long it takes to package it. Well no more. I can fill bags off a stuffing horn and then into the sealer they go. So fast.

    That's impressive! Chamber vacuum sealers are a giant step up from the vacuum sealer I just got. I couldn't justify the cost but if I were 20 yrs younger and packaged whole beef that would be the schnitz.

    A question, does it seal right around the meat cuts or only along a strip? Are you packaging commercially too?

    Nope. Building tower bases for work. 1/2" steel doesn't bend real well, which makes it GREAT for supporting towers.

    That's just a 10' stick of Rohn 55G. I have used 47 of them this quarter alone. I am never far off from them with my job.

    Just got back from visiting family in Kansas for Thanksgiving.
    Modern liberalism is based on the idea that reality is obligated to conform to one's beliefs because; "I have the right to believe whatever I want".
