I have pelo adverse vacuum performance change with the catch can in place. It just catches any oil. I still smell oil vapor when the pump first starts up, but not nearly as much. I've only emptied the can once or twice since I've had it installed. I slightly over filled the pump and it blew out into the can, then ran it with the FDer valve open for a few minutes. Nothing got past the can. I used the outside port as IN and the middle one as out. I did take the port off and the longer one should be the inlet port. It's not a great deal longer.

No way, that's pretty cool. Do you have a picture of it, how much are we talking here? 600 lbs seems rather unlikely; I'm thinking more like 60.

It's so much easier to stay on a low carb diet when you have things to nibble on. I've been drying meatballs (cut them in half first), and they make a fantastic savory snack. I'll post to the Tried and True thread when I get a chance.
Investing in a freeze dryer is not just about saving money; it's about gaining the skills and resources to become more self-reliant and prepared for whatever life throws your way. So, invest in your self-reliance journey – your future self will thank you!
The proper methods of drying are one of these four methods: Air drying, sun drying, oven drying, or dehydration. Learn how to properly do each of these methods.

I remember reading somewhere in this thread where somebody was asking how long you run the freeze cycle with pre-frozen food. I have my chest freezer set to -12F, and I usually let the freeze dryer cool for an hour before I put the frozen food in. After I load the food in I wait another half hour to start the drying process. I've had a lot of cycles that the total time between pulling one batch out and starting the drying cycle on the next is around 2 hours. I'm running mine in a cold garage, so it get more info cools down pretty quickly. If you have yours in a warm room it would probably take a little longer.
This does not address the food quality after that time, only the food safety. However, no real data exists on the shelf-life of home freeze-dried products, because the company that invented and manufactured the first home freeze-dryer began sales in 2013.
Is it flash freezing and dehydrating at the same time? Do the items need to be kept frozen, or stored at room temp?
The highly-skilled team at Toronto Refrigeration can cover all of these items, and more – even something as complex as a microwave can be salvaged, so you don’t have to buy a new one and dispose of the old unit in an already crowded landfill.
It would also be best to avoid pawn shops. Although they can be a goldmine for trinkets, they’re usually not a great place to shop for advanced machinery.
Have an understanding of which kind of food pretreatment is needed to use the device. To ensure the freeze-drying approach is productive, you’ll must understand how to get ready food.
