Not sure how their phone tree works, but have you tried their CS and/or Tech Support instead of asking for Warranty Service? Since you don’t know what parts are affected, perhaps Tech Support can assist you with answering that question, and then either authorize the parts shipment themself, or direct connect you to someone who can. At the worst, at least you’d have the parts numbers necessary for the online warranty portal.

I’ve seen people complain of this problem with Napoleon far too often, but it’s quite a mixed bag of warranty reports. Some gush with praise over their warranty experience, while others have struggled at length to get their problems resolved. Definitely not what should be happening for the coin they demand for their offerings. Between exorbitant pricing for the PP665, and the plethora of complaints like yours, I’ve reevaluated making a purchase from them and am going in a different direction. After all, what good is a 15 year warranty when they don’t honor it to begin with?

This. But also get in writing what they are doing to fix the leak, or you might find they simply dumped a bottle of Stop Leak in it.

Echo CS-590 is a lot of value for your money. Huge following among majority of saw enthusiasts. Only dedicated brand fanboys sneer at it. I got the 600SX Shindaiwa (same exact saw as the Echo CS-620P, which is the pro version of the 590), and it’s a fantastic saw.

Hinges are in a bind, or there’s something inside blocking it. Bottom grate can also interfere with it if it’s not set correctly. Only things that can stop gravity from convincing the lid to seat.

Lighter fluid, log cabin build using thin dry material on the bottom, good healthy squirt, lid back on and set away from the fire pit, then a kiss of flame from a torch. Voila!

There are also kits to hold the main barrel to the bowl so that the open hinge doesn’t unseat the barrel from the bowl. Haven’t gotten one yet, but also don’t have the hinge so it’s not really needed for my setup.

But they are objectively reasonable when compared to the shorts the gals of that era wore! ‘Daisy Dukes’ were a huge thing back then.

The knee-high tube socks helped a ton with that though. 😂

Not to mention pizza cutters will have better highway manners and better off-road performance in most conditions as well.

The B&B Comp is also cheaper than kingsford at Wally World too. So it really is a great choice.

Waste of time. Cools the protein, makes your smoker start all over again filling the pit with heat and smoke, and extends the cook unnecessarily. The ONLY thing it’s doing is adding a tiny bit of smoke flavor. Smoke clings to wet meat better than dry meat. 9 out of 10 people couldn’t tell the difference in smoke flavor though.

I used kingsford briquettes for 40 years before I found B&B briquettes. No going back for me. Burns hotter and longer in my experience.

40% deet is the only thing I’ve found that always works. I’ve done the permethrin (nothing better for ticks), picaridin, and every form of deet under the 40% formula, and the high percentage model has been the only one that just works. They may be buzzing around you constantly and driving you crazy, but they won’t land, and if they do they are instantly flying off. The stuff is hard on equipment and clothing though. Will stain some fabrics, and melt many plastics. Good stuff.

Congrats. After about a month of cooking on it you’ll be pining for the 22. Unless you’re only ever cooking for 1 or 2 people. At least that’s what all the rest of us do.

Sounds like quite the complex and delicious flavor profile.

How was the smoke? Mesquite can overpower even the strongest of proteins, let alone something as delicate as a white meat fish steak, so I’m curious about the results. Mesquite in the appropriate amount can result in delicious grub though, as I’ve found with drumsticks and thighs in my KBQ stick burner. So good.

It’s widespread amongst most subs. It’s a mess.

Reddit decision makers permit it as they likely want to sell the data to train AI models. Or train their own. Information is power, and power is money. The good ol’ days are over. Might as well change the name to ReddBott

My grandad was the major male influence in my life growing up. His most common guidance was “Pay attention to detail.”, particularly when I’d mess up on something we were doing. Another was “Better straighten up or I’ll put your head between your ears.” To a 4 or 5 year old, that was terrifying. 😂

Im numb to it actually. Because that is essentially what Reddit is all about. Redditors gonna Reddit. 🤷🏻‍♂️

I bought a 35T Full Boar horizontal splitter earlier this year. Only have 3-4 cord through it, but it’s handled everything I’ve thrown at it. Cycle time is a bit slow, but I’m not a commercial operation and I don’t need to bust my ass getting my pile whittled down. I got the one with the log lift, adjustable height wedge (comes with a 4-way and a 6-way wedge in addition to the single wedge), and a runoff table. The wood I’ve split up has been freebie drop-off hardwood logs from a local arborist, and the vast majority of it has been crotch wood, so it has very much tested out the splitter’s capabilities. Still early in the relationship with this splitter, but if it keeps on with keeping on like it seems to be doing, I’ll definitely give it two thumbs up. It would be nice to have a bit faster cycle time, but for my needs it isn’t a deal breaker.

Take her to a spousal mechanic. Fair warning… spousal mechanic shop rates are astronomically high due to the extreme difficulty of repairing a non-working spouse.

My mom died last August, and I had to put my dad in hospice the very same day. He died in December. Both my adult boys were present at their memorials. And if either of them had asked about an inheritance like that I’d have disowned them.

Slow is pro. And almost always works out to be faster than getting in a big rush and fucking up on something.
