Anyone have a method to ensure the bag is still there when I have to make a stop at a rest stop for food? Hate to have to sit and babysit the bag.

First always park in good spot, not backed in at the end.My rack has a 6" side rail. I can loop a small plastic coated cable (ready made or pieced together at Lowe's) enough to discourage the average lowlife.

Buy separate tie downs (bright colored ones - for night time viewing) and park in a place that you can see the car. I just drove cross country with this and had no problems- I made sure to park in visible sight of the car though.

Bottom line... if someone wants it bad enough and you leave it at your car it's entirely possible to steal it. Plenty of good suggestions here to deter. I used a padlock to keep the zipper together and also had plenty of strapping.

I intend to purchase this bag and wrap it with fabric strapping that has "jingle" bells sewn to it all along its length. The plastic-coated cable is a great idea, though, too.

There are straps to attach to a cargo basket by 6 points near the bottom of the bag. It never moved on me in 8 days of mountain travel.

I never had that problem. I wanted my doggy to be very comfortable and I purchased a real comfy bed at TJ Max to go inside the Pet Gear bag. My dog loves it, I take him with me everywhere I go and he sleeps most of the time and I feel good that he is comfortable and safe. People stops me when I go shopping and always ask where did I get that bag??? We both love it.

You have to push the seal button if you don't want it to vacuum first. I am not sure why you are having problems with yours not recognizing that a bag is there since I have only had that problem with mine one time and that was because I had the bag curling up. Try putting the bag so that it curves down towards the floor. If that doesn't work then I would contact the manufacturer and have them replace it.

The side bags when unzipped, hang on the outside of the rack's three support rods (3 on each side). The only thing that I have ever worried about getting got in the spokes are the small elastic cords at the bottom of each bag so I always make sure that they are wrapped around the end of the support rods which they should be anyway. They are there to make sure the bags do not flop around. Hope this helps. BTW I gave this bag 5 stars as I think it's great.

I specifically recall investigating this myself. I'm not current able to access the bag but remember ithe 15 inch would have to go on end and then the bag would not close. I have the large.

The food "cooks" right in the bag. The bag is very sturdy and meant to sit upright on a table. Open the top, take out the oxygen absorber and pour in the prescribed amount of hot water. The bag can then be reclosed like a zip lock bag. Gently shake the bag for a moment, let the food sit for a little bit, open the bag and enjoy.

I try to reuse mine because they are so expensive. What I do is double wrap whatever I'm freezing so that the food really doesn't touch the bag. Then wash the bag with dish soap and water to be sure. This works 90% of the time. Again, I just love this tool and use it constantly. This past summer I put my Kindle in bag, sucked out the air and relaxed in the pool knowing that if I dropped the Kindle it would survive!

Thank you, I just purchased the rocket grill and can't wait to get it. I have been looking all night for recipes. This will certainly come in handy. Also found some bags/pouches on ebay 100 for $8.00 + SH. Seems like a really good deal. Any advise on these bags?

I use the kitchen tall bags. I pick up the slack by twisting the excess to tighten it and push it through the hole in the back of the black insert. It works out perfectly and way cheaper.

Sorry for the delay. That might be too large for the container. You really don't need the bag. The food stays pretty air tight. I keep bird seed in it.

Mine did not. We haven't traveled with it yet (my daughter doesn't use it with actual food yet) but we figured we would just grab a ziploc bag to store it until we can wash it.

Just Kidding. You can make the lid stay open. I did this morning when I changed the bag.

I've found that if the bag isn't packed very full, it wants to tip over onto its top unless I place most of the items on what would be the bottom when standing upright. When the bag is full, it stands on its own, no problem.

step on the peddle and lift the liner up. Put the closed end of the bag in the liner. take hold of the top of the bag at the front of liner. now twist that liner until it is tight around the liner. Now slowly lower the liner tucking the bag into the gap between liner and outside bucket and let liner down all the way. voila it is in until you take it out

Joseph and Danny, when putting it back in the bag, don't try to roll it. Literally start with a corner and just stuff it in. Works much better. It's even reccommended on the teton website regarding putting it back in the bag.

The food does not "go through it ". The edge of the bag is placed inside the opening, then the vacuum begins and the bag is then sealed.

There is a little neck that pops out for filling. Then it's tied off with a rubber band and pushed back inside the bag. I have never had a problem with mine and I've had it about six months.
