Using a burner like that is a great idea... Glad I saw your post.

That helps, thanks!

[Choosing a chamber sealer: how often do you use the accessory port?]

I'm looking into getting a chamber sealer, and was pretty interested in the Vacmaster 215. However, it does not have an accessory port.

Since I don't have a sealer yet and don't know all the tricks it can do, I am not even sure if I'd miss it... but if I am spending a bunch of money, I'd like the most versatile unit possible.

Would you rather have the more durable, more powerful 215, or the less commercial-grade 112 with the accessory port? Or is there another unit around the price of the 215 that I could consider?

Thanks in advance for your thoughts!
