    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.
