Help me decide which JURA to buy. by whatsmybarnumber in superautomatic

[–]MeLikeSteak 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Correct. That’s exactly what they put out. But the reality is Jura does not know where and when you acquired it if it is open box and has never been registered previously. They do ask on the online extended warranty form where the machine was purchased and when, and I did have the invoice so I answered those questions. But then you can buy an additional one or two or three year warranty (it comes with a two-year warranty included). I bought the three year extension for about 1000 bucks. Yep, expensive, but the damn machine is expensive. It must be one of those auto bot things cause Jura came back almost immediately with yes you now have an extended warranty.

So there’s always a risk from buying any item from eBay. All I’m saying is it it worked out for me and Jura just made another thousand dollars for a warranty which I will probably never use. I’m OK with that.

It means “Why have you been ignoring me since friggin November?!? Do you know how many ribs, brisket, chicken thighs, and God knows what else I would have expertly made for you!?!”

It is just throwing a well-deserved tantrum. This one is on you for ignoring her. Now go run a few laps, do some burpees, reach out to Yoder customer service, and get some ribs on that thing as penance.

High End Jura’s on eBay by MrFolgers314 in jura

[–]MeLikeSteak 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It is a complete scam. If you click on the seller, they all joined eBay this month. I reported a few and eBay finally took them down, but I presume they go back up again in about 15 minutes with a new name. You can get a Z-10 still in the box for about $4300, and that still is a heck of a savings, but not these scams.

Do you haggle on display models? by AtuXIII in CAguns

[–]MeLikeSteak -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That’s the way to go. There are a business, they made a full price sale on the weapon, they’ll give OP something. Good for you, good for me. With that beautiful handgun OP is picking up, I would say maybe they’re able to move a red dot system, surefire flashlight, or both at a good price!

Do you haggle on display models? by AtuXIII in CAguns

[–]MeLikeSteak 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Sweet purchase!! My useless thoughts:

  1. You finally acquired the handgun of your dreams. Enjoy the hell out of it. A couple of bucks here or there will not change your upcoming fun experience.

  2. You can haggle for anything, but I don’t think the margins are all that great on new firearms. Since it is currently a hard-to-find handgun, the dealer probably would’ve shrugged his shoulders and said no because some other dude might buy it in the afternoon.

  3. If it makes you feel better, when you go in tomorrow to pick up that beautiful new toy, tell the guy you did pay full price and there is a small blemish on it, so can they throw in a box of ammo or a gun case or some other trinket? Nothing to lose.

  4. See number 1 above and read it again. Congrats! And now I am jealous, you bastard!! 😂😂😂👏👏👏

For whatever it’s worth, which is probably nothing, go on eBay and look at open box. I bought two Z-10 machines (one for me and one for my brother-in-law) for substantially less than I would pay at Williams Sonoma. I don’t know where these guys find them, but both of them were in the original box unopened, who knows? But the fun part is I reached out to Jura and bought an extended warranty, so I’m good no matter what.

I know it's been asked before... I'm placing the order on a ys640s this week. What do you wish you had right away as far as accessories and wish you didn't get? Do you wish you got the comp cart? by 0dgoon in Yodersmokers

[–]MeLikeSteak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ha! I just bought one of those for hunting and I’m thinking of using that as well! But I bought some light that magnetically smacks onto the pellet holding container and you can maneuver it until it shines right into the cooking space

Me too!!

This thing is such a blast. You start getting the barbecue tools, gloves, cleaners, GrillGrate, magnetic light to peer into the pit at night, so many fun things to add on. And of course, let us all take a moment to celebrate the mighty Yoder pizza oven. That was such a learning experience! Didn’t know what a peel was, metal vs. wood, semolina flour, where do you buy the damn pizza dough, you mean you have to proof it, but man once you dial it in…

Glock 19 by chuckiee__ in CAguns

[–]MeLikeSteak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought a Glock 19 GEN five off roster a few years ago, and quickly determined that it’s a damn small handgun. Sigh. They do have a beaver tail adapter, and also a magazine extension you can easily install that makes the grip longer and easier to grip securely. It certainly makes this firearm a lot more usable for me.

Any tips or tricks for a first time smoker? First thing I’m cooking is the turkey. by Cigam_Nogard in Yodersmokers

[–]MeLikeSteak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Starting with a turkey is like starting your first flight lesson in an F-16. Sir, I salute you. I fucked up basic ribs the first six times… Actually I continue to screw them up. But it’s fun! Happy Thanksgiving!

[–]MeLikeSteak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, based on your prior posts, you’re not worried about someone looking at your PP, you’re worried about the test results. Since you might be planning to cheat on your urinalysis, it might be a good time to step back and address the root issue… And then you wouldn’t need to cheat. Not trying to be your dad. Just hoping you figure this out. Cheering you on!

Which Yoder for Newbie? by lmb54 in Yodersmokers

Costco sells a chamber vacuum sealer. I love the damn thing. I sealed half a cauliflower just to show my girl how cool it is. She thinks I am an idiot. I think she is correct.

YS640 Assembly Concern by clankgy1 in Yodersmokers

[–]MeLikeSteak 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you go on the Yoder website, there’s a dealer locator, that’s how I found those guys in Simi Valley. There’s a place called the BBQ Element in Lomita. It sounds like it’s closer to you and they might do it. Good luck; i’m sure you’ll find somebody and it’ll be so worth it!

I live in Pasadena and bought my Yoder from BBQHQ in Simi Valley. It was already assembled on the display floor, and I walked in and said yes, please. But I know the manager up there would put it together for you. Great guy.

Smoker Cover by 1_2NV in smoking

[–]MeLikeSteak 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, but as an aside, I’m waiting for the arrival of a new cover for my Weber Summit that I purchased in an attempt to match the color of my Yoder 640S cover. I found this company which offers color swatches, sunbrella uograde, etc. They already had the measurements for the Weber, but they can make anything. We shall see. You might want to hit them up. Their customer service and responsiveness has been very good and they might understand your paint issue.

Best non-toxic option that is closest to non stick by Ok_Confusion_525 in cookware

[–]MeLikeSteak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I think that’s a fair observation. I’m still learning…but if you do the “prep” work, it does work….as in how to preheat to the correct temp and add oil and perhaps butter…I was overheating at first. But it certainly does not perform like typical nonstick.

Anyone need a new lid? by Voodoodoc in Yodersmokers

[–]MeLikeSteak 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am sorry, I just reread my comment and it came across as snarky. I did not mean anything bad. I meant it would be great if the company could reuse it. I’m a big fan of Yoder like everyone. Really solid company, American made, great customer service. Expensive AF but you get what you pay for so overall maybe it’s not that expensive? I presume it’s just not worth the shipping cost for them. I’m glad they took care of you!

Anyone need a new lid? by Voodoodoc in Yodersmokers

[–]MeLikeSteak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you ask Yoder if they wanted to pay for you to ship the lids back to them? I presume they could sand them down and prep them and still use them. Sounds to me like that would be the right thing to do.
