The info begins....
This is what I was looking for. Does anyone else have anything to add? Are brand names important? Are there and names/dealers to avoid? I have a few buckets now. I can see me ordering supplies soon and taking an evening to do some filling, sealing and stacking. Thanks
I ordered my bags and absorbers from Amazon. I think it was $23 for 60 3.5mil bags and 60 300cc absorbers. You will obviously want a thicker bag when storing sharper items. I put 5 pounds of rice in each 1 gallon bag, and used 1 absorber for each bag. After pushing most of the air out, and then sealing it, the absorber basically vacuum sealed the bag (which I was told isn't supposed to happen, but oh well).
I didn't weigh the 5 pounds to fit, it just happened to be 5 pounds. I found that 5 18oz Solo cups was just the right amount to get the bags filled to where I could manage them. So, 5 Solo cups of beans, wheat, etc should fit about the same.
