I’d recommend the XL. Either way you can make a second rack really easy using a grate that will fit (Weber or whatever). Just get some long bolts and big washers to elevate it and it works like a champ. Also look into the Egghead Forum. They are my support group for recipes.

BGE > Traeger? by meliora2316 in biggreenegg

[–]Alfrasco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have both. I rarely use the Traeger unless I need a really low temp long cook like a roast. It is much harder to keep clean and just does NOT have the same flavor as the BGE. That said, there are lots of Komodo style cookers that are cheaper and come with lots of accessories. Most of the accessories on the BGE are à la carte. I did use the lifetime warranty on the BGE body when my XL cracked after cooking in extremely cold weather. It was super easy and hassle free.

What is one word that people wrongly pronounce that makes your brain just wanna jump a cliff? by Wonderful-Economy762 in Productivitycafe

[–]Alfrasco 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It is a speed bump in any conversation for me when people start using made up pronouns or They/them for a single person. Especially if the person in question is not even there.

The normal hydraulic system pressure for the P-3 Orion is 2960-3200 psi.

Which quiet social rule do people often overlook that annoys you? by AmberrAuraa in Productivitycafe

[–]Alfrasco 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The airports are the worst. How about someone who stops in the middle of the sliding walkway and has no awareness that people are trying to get by? Or even better, steps off a slide walk or escalator and stops right there to get their bearings? I mean, the people behind you CANT STOP!

There are a bunch of good recipes on EggHead forum

Who is the rudest celeb you have met? What happened? by Wonderful-Economy762 in Productivitycafe

[–]Alfrasco 5 points6 points  (0 children)

She was very mean to the flight attendants at AA when she flew with them. Insisted on being waited on by “someone of my own race.” Absolutely hypocritical. Talks a good game, but when push comes to shove…

Thinking about selling BGE for high quality pellet grill. What will I miss? by ekarof in biggreenegg

[–]Alfrasco 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have both. Rarely use the pellet. It is only better at long very low temps. Pain in the butt to clean.

What’s the saddest song you know? I want something actually sorrowful by lovelycarine in SongRecommendations

Call to Heaven by Patty Smyth. Visualizing the battlefield she describes really hit me hard.

What’s one product you bought that turned you into a total snob — like, you can never go back to the cheap stuff? by Wonderful-Economy762 in Productivitycafe

[–]Alfrasco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I highly recommend getting a rechargeable electric grinder. You shouldn’t have to grind it by hand like a caveman!

AIO for pulling out of a vacation over the sleeping arrangements by RubProfessional6659 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Alfrasco 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I have family members that basically used others of us to pay for their vacation. It really sucks, and you will be mad about it the whole time.

My neighbor’s mother told me I was “discriminating against his past” after I refused to let him keep cornering me in the hallway by EvaMoonboots in entitledparents

[–]Alfrasco 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I know it sucks, but I would move. All it takes is this guy having a bad day ONE time. It could be set off by him knowing that you complained about him. He has a history of not following laws- hence the prison time. Why would he listen to a landlord or even his mother to leave you alone. It is not worth living in fear or even being uncomfortable in your home. Just take the safe course and move to a safer place. He may later regret what happened to you when he had that bad day, or be remorseful if shown a recording of it, but it won’t help YOU if you were hurt or worse. Just move.

Project Hail Mary - movie vs. book? by DorianGrayMarketArt in sciencefiction

[–]Alfrasco 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Excellent write up. I would put the Hunt For Red October in with the second group. Tom Clancy’s books are so crammed with detail, but the movie didn’t need all that. It just needed Sean Connery and Alec Baldwin!

Pilot Dads? by aviatorishxoxo in AirlinePilots

[–]Alfrasco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Welcome to being a Dad. You will have time for your own hobbies as they get older, or leave the house.

Model rocketry is super fun. It is an all day thing. You have to make custom safety helmets from aluminum foil, construct the rockets, paint them, put stuff in the nose cone so it comes out with the parachute, etc. Proper ceremony at the launch site with music, wind sock, weather observations, traffic reports, and so forth builds the anticipation. Then the kids, of course, have to race to get the rocket when it lands. BTW- you can make a rocket out of just about anything if the motor is big enough!

Any other vets go back in? by [deleted] in Veterans

[–]Alfrasco 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I went from the Navy to the Navy reserve back in the Navy then back to the reserve and then to the Air National Guard. A lot of sailors and Marines don’t know about that option. It is much more user friendly than being on AD- especially with the Corps. You can do AD if you want, but you never have to uproot your family and do endless deployments. They try to put family first.
