did you get it from PragoTrade a while back ?

I'm looking for another slicer...  Is this a good brand?

That looks great!

BTW - that slicer looks VERY familiar - did you get it from PragoTrade a while back ?

I have the same one. How is it holding up for you?

It was Weston Supply and I got it back in March of '08, same time you got yours. I found the old thread and I still can't believe I only paid $100 for that beast. Actually I have only used it probably 5 or 6 times. I have done canadian bacon, top round for Jerky, Bacon, and now the Turkey. I am not looking forward to cleaning it. I think that is why I don't use it much.

I have been happy with mine, is yours still working well for you?

FLBentRider

I have used mine quite a bit. Same $100.00 deal

It is a pain to clean. Especially since I slice mostly raw meat. (Jerky)

I have found that belt drive is not what I want on my next slicer. The blade tends to bog down and stop quite easily - and I've flipped it over and tightened it several times.

but for $100.00 - I have certainly recieved my monies worth and a whole lot more, since I was browsing a catalog the other day and picked out one that was $1500!!

For those of you wondering - Weston Supply/ Prago trade makes (or made them) OEM for Cabelas, these were refurbs on clearance in March of '08.

That $100.00 was WITH shipping.

Everything looks delish there big red.

That turkey looks like it would melt in your mouth 

You saving those ABT's for the game?

All of that stuff looks really good bigred!  I've only done 8 or 10 ABTs at a time and don't use the protective gear.  I do mine whole; cut the tops off, core them, stuff with whatever and bacon wrap.  I'm going to have to try them cut in half length-wise.  I don't freeze them because they disappear pretty quickly.

I have a decent "residential" slicer that works pretty well.  The cleanup isn't bad.  But, I only use it when I have a bunch of stuff to slice.

Good going on all of that.

Game??? What game???  ;)

Not sure on that. I may decide to just watch it by myself. The wife works until 9:00, so she really doesn't appreciate a housefull of people after working all day. May end up having the neighbor over so may have to crack open a pack.


Are you a Nebraska fan or does OU812 stand for something Sooner related?

Well it is not Van Halen, and I can see the album cover, but I can't think of their name right now. I'll work on that,just because it has been bugging me that I can't remember.
I like to walk threw life on the path of least resistance. But sometimes the path needs a good kick in the ass.

Wow I digress. And to think that Van Halen is my second favorite band after Led Zepplin. Of course we were in a cloud of smoke most of the 80's. wink wink. I guess I'm not their biggest fan in the world. Sorry FLBR......... I think theres a rock around here somewhere.....i'll just get under it.

Hey Bigredsmoker, You have no idea how lucky you are....... :D  You are lucky that I wasn't around before you vacuum packed those bad boys. Because they would have never met the freezer. Actually that was a sin that they weren't comsumed.................by me.  ::)
