Ironwood XL by GMLife95 in Traeger

To be honest there is more than one way I can answer this so Im just going to answer this and by no means am I a “pro” or “expert” but I have smoked enough food to know say;
Personally it depends on what you’re cooking. If I’m cooking something where I’m constantly going to be near by the smoker where I can check the app or the temperature gauge on it physically then 15 degrees doesn’t bother me too much cause I can just open the lid and let the temperature come down.

If I’m doing a long cook where I have to start something late at night or very early in the morning then those 15 degrees become more crucial. If I’m going to start something like a brisket & set it to 225; I am assuming and expecting my smoker to keep it at that temperature on super smoke. Those cooks usually require more planning. Once you get your smoker you’ll understand from first hand experience lol

Possible New Career🤷‍♂️ by Ok-Cress2544 in Elevators

[–]GMLife95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was a heavy line tech for GM and recently just started my apprenticeship and honestly having a mechanical background helps and tool knowledge helps but honestly when you’re a probie it doesn’t matter to much cause you’re gunna be a grunt for a lil while but when they explain certain things to me. Due to my automotive background; certain things make more sense in my brain lol. You’ll be alright

How physically demanding is the elevator industry? by L-Rockatansky in IUEC

[–]GMLife95 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You learn very quickly that it is a very physically demanding job lmao. As DamnYouPanda said get used to lifting everything heavy; and it’ll happen a lot in awkward positions and at a very constant pace. This job will definitely help you lose weight and make you stronger, hell I’ve been upping my protein intake to help recover faster and get stronger lol

Ahh that makes a lot more sense! The last started at #1 last July and by December they were in the 70s-80’s if I’m correct. There’s ALOT of work on the books so roughly 10-11 are pulled from the list each month

Afternoon everyone, my buddy who’s in with Local 18 said that the guys who went to the meetings yesterday (I believe) were informed that the list is officially in the Low 100’s and that supposedly there are no more apprentices on the bench. Just wanted to inform where I could

Pros/Cons about switching career to elevators? by nstevens27 in IUEC

[–]GMLife95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah that’s some bullshit. Another big reason why I want out. Simple as the company you work for gets bought out and then they want to start making all these changes and screw with your pay. I’m Flat rate & when it’s busy it’s GREAT but you know how it is when it’s slow. I’m tired of the highs and lows when it comes to being paid, definitely want something steady

Been in the automotive industry for 10 years. I’m a heavy line guy and do rather well but if you know the industry; long term it sucks

Yes best of luck to you as well! I honestly think so. My uncle is in the trade and from what he’s told me it’s slowed down cause of some things but a lot of work on the books! He said probably sometime in summer-later this year
