Jay: I don't have one but a farmer friend does up his own meats and sausages using a vacuum sealer. I had some of the sausage months after taking it home. After thawing, it was just like fresh so I think they are useful. I use zip loc bags and try to expel most air but have not used water. Six late season roosters become my winter's ration stash for consumption. (One every 4 or 5 weeks.) They do thaw quite nicely with no freezer burn. The last one is usually consumed in the summer.
Cheers,
Jack
