New vacuum sealer

I just picked up a Foodsaver brand vacuum sealer yesterday, model V840. My local market had it on sale $60 off. Since the wife and I have been talking about getting one for a while anyways, I grabbed it....plus an extra 18' roll of bag material. It rained all day but parted long enough to get a quick smoke in....some fatties, a few hot links and some manufactured meat product (the smoking did help it taste better). I vacuumed sealed the leftovers last night and that machine is awesome! Can't wait to vacuum seal the cat!!

I'll have to check out their website....always lookin' for a good deal! The 11" x 18' roll cost me about $10. I heard you can use other makers bags too...like Black-n-Decker or Sav-a-Meal, or whatever it's called.
