Been reading threads here and see temps of 33-38* is desired for dry aging.

I'm looking at a small size to put on a counter in the garage and give it a go.

The UMAi bags don't have the usual grooves that you get on the inside of ordinary vacuum bags. (Those grooves allow air to be extracted even when the sides of the bag near the edge are squashed together by the sealing machine.) Instead, the UMAi bags are completely smooth.

To avoid having the sides of the bag press against each other, thereby sealing the bag and preventing the pump from evacuating the air, UMAi include something they call "VacMouse". That's basically a strip of plastic mesh that you put between the edges before sealing. The mesh still allows air to be extracted because it stops the two plastic sheets from completely sealing against each other; when the heating strip on the machine is turned on, the mesh melts together with the plastic of the bag and forms an air-tight seal. (The mesh looks very similar to the mesh you can buy at fabric stores for glueing bits of fabric together by ironing them with a layer of the mesh in between. It almost certainly isn't the same material though.)

At any rate, the entire process it simple, easy, fool-proof, and painless. Basically, throw the meat into the bag, squash it against a corner so as much of the bag is in contact with the meat as possible, put the VacMouse strip between the edges of the bag, and seal away.

If all this sounds mysterious, just google "UMAi bag" or some such. There are quite a few videos that show how it works.

Yes, you are supposed to use a vacuum sealer. (It would be impossible to use those bags without, unless you glue the edges of the bag together somehow, or roll the edge and clamp it to create the seal.)The UMAi bags don't have the usual grooves that you get on the inside of ordinary vacuum bags.
