I recently did a pork picnic on my WSM. After taking it off

notice a considerable amount of meat juices were being drawn out
of the picnic.


A couple days later, I unsealed the bag and tried some of the
meat. It was
the driest picnic I have ever smoked.

Has anyone else noticed that the Foodsaver dehydrates whole
cuts of meat?

If you freeze the meat (1 or 2 hours)before you seal it you do not
get
the juice problem.

I habitually prefreeze anything moist to protect both the product and
the VAC machine.
I just place the product in an unsealed vac bag in the freezer until
solidified.
