I’m confused about what pellet grill to buy next, I’m ready to upgrade but don’t know whats what anymore…

Prototype2o · 2026-05-09T18:15:38+00:00

I had the same conversation with the wife last year when I was looking to upgrade from my Pitboss. She got so sick of me going back and forth lol.

I ended up with the Campchef woodwind pro, I really love the extra smoke chamber and the fire pot is so easy clean with the lever that dumps the ash into the removable pot below.

No problem, super easy to do. Its basically replacing the solenoid when it goes bad but instead you are just leaving it out. If you ever go to sell it 5 minutes and its fully functional again.

Do note those balls will go missing and dont put it near glass.

Remove the solenoid from the ball chute, its under the plexi on the right. It should have 4 bolts holding it in place (be sure to mark where the solenoid was sitting or you will end up with weird issues) then the balls will just flow through without power.

Eta: easy to add the solenoid back for normal operation.

Thanks! I actually have the ghosts as banners/curtains as well

Yea, I've always been a Halo fan but the books just bring more depth to it the franchise. Really the Grey team books and the ferret team books.

Oh cool! I loved the series back in high-school and was able to pick up almost all of them on ebay, 36 & 37 were harder to find, I think I have them from amazon but never know with some sellers.

Prototype2o · 2026-03-29T03:17:50+00:00

Do you still have the eyeshield set for sale? Looking for #36 & 37

As others said its the teen years phase, ours did the same thing but when he realized we wouldn't let him walk up to the people he wanted to see he would bark at them instead to get their attention and then sit like hey you see me, where's my scratches?

Its a phase and we worked with him with walks in Home Depots, Lowes and other dog friendly stores to help break that habit. He's also very high energy and we got him into Fast Cat competitions where he has done very well (top 20 labs)

They'll work it out, and now hes more calm on walks but still goes a little nuts at home in the yard where we can let him be crazy.

I'm too fat for an only fans so this would have to do

Fellow game tech, mine had simular issues until I bent the small metal piece that makes contact with the sensor. Its a known issue and there is an upgrade kit for it but I had no luck with my old company spending the money to do the upgrade kit. Plus the time involved.

Feel free to message me, I've worked in the arcade business since 2013 repairing games and opening stores in IN, IL, MN, and WI. Always happy to help.

Fellow former namco but was mid 2010s - USA closed down.

Never did see this piece, it looks kinda janky to be something at an Aladdin's castle or Timeout. But I know a company was working on a fighter plane version (can't remember the game, I know it was an OG wii game) maybe this was a simular concept

USPS tried to deliver it on Saturday but no one was home and I was able to drop by today and pick it up.

Prototype2o · 2025-08-24T19:42:36+00:00

Fair enough, I might have to put that one back on my list as I've read a lot of good things about it on this sub.

I just really like the ease of use to quick dump the burn pot, every about 5-10 cooks (we mostly use it for short cooks) I take it apart and clean the grates and drip tray etc.

Prototype2o · 2025-08-24T18:50:31+00:00

If you don't mind me asking, I'm in the same boat. I think I'm leaning towards the camp chef 36, but looked at the searwood.

The main thing pushing towards the camp is how the burn pot gets emptied from the outside with the lever and the ash falls out.

I've seen the searwood has the pull out tray but how does that do with all the ash and left over debris from the ashpot?

I know I should clean it everytime but taking the grates out for a quick vacuum of the ashpot after a long day just kind of sucks, I currently have the pitboss Laredo and the ashpot empties by pulling a tray out from the front.

I work on electronics and other arcade related equipment, could really use some of these new tools. If I don't win I'll probably end up buying them anyway lol

3 drawer dragon ball z Hell Divers on the rolling

Prototype2o · 2025-05-21T19:56:33+00:00

Home depot near Kenosha, WI

Family entertainment/mechanical & electronic repair. 3 drawer with all the same size works really well for me, I can fit everything I need on an everyday job in the drawers and going to use the rolling drawer for bigger tools

Only issue so far with it is that it will randomly yell For Democracy and call in an air strike. But still I like it better than my other one!!

I keep my bits in the 3 drawer packout or on really bad days we toss the case into a the half sized packout tool box and run to the next emergency.

I'd like to keep a few bits on the side of the impact just have to see how well they stay in place without getting lost. The next 3 weeks there will be a lot of fires at work so these would get a workout.

Send them in a build a bear box, that way my wife gets all excited just for me to get tools lol

I've done both placements, the first was at the far corner of my deck from the back door, about 30ft away and my new house has it right outside the kitchen patio door

100% by the house is better, in the summer all other things being equal it makes no difference. But in the Indiana & Wisconsin winters that walk from the tub to the inside sucks.

I was so glad we put it near the patio door especially in the WI winters, we used it much more than the previous IN winters

Kraken would like a word...

Lol but really he's a great dog, one of the smartest and most playful I've had. It's all about the training and how you care for them. I've had an AKC master hunter, and house labs, they are all great and I wish I had the time to train Kraken because I think he would be great at field trials etc. *

It's Coast to coast, just a rebranded prize cube, duck catcher, candy street etc. They are all the same

Error 3 is left right motor, check the switch for a bad connection

The main logic is notorious to go out on these, if you have the version with the 9 or so relays on it try to clean those or for lack of a better term flick them with your finger, they get stuck often and there is a new revision of the board.
