Finally got a slicer...

Smokin Gator · 04-08-2008, 10:06 PM

Well... I have looked and looked and waited and waited trying to find a decent affordable Hobart slicer. I had looked at a few in my price range but they were all shot.

Yesterday I found a Berkel 823 on CL that looked brand new. I went and picked it up today. I swear it looks like it has never sliced a slice. Picked it up for $225. I am pretty stoked!!! Now I won't dread making BBB and Canadian Bacon. Plus my jerky slices will finally be uniform!!!

Here is a stock photo

I just founf this one on craigslist this morning, anybody ever hear of it? Is it any good?

Fatback Joe · 04-09-2008, 08:53 AM

Congrats!

Like you said, it takes the dread out of BBB, jerky, etc...........well except for the dread of cleaning the damn thing.

I have an old Hobart that I love.........until cleanup.......but it does give me something to always complain about.
