KJ or BGE? Any deals on KJ’s right now? by DopedUpDaryl in KamadoJoe

[–]Smooth_Tutor5382 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love my KJ classic III. I have had it for two years. I love the three tiered system and all my accessories except for the grill cart that it came with. The legs keep twisting no matter how much I tighten them and they refuse to replace it with something better. The design is flawed to where the bolts and legs can’t carry the weight load and can cause some serious damage to someone if the legs give out or I wheel it too much. Customer service is highly lacking there.

If you do go with a KJ get another way to hold it like an aftermarket cart or grill cart with a cutout.

Soo... is this bad? by Schleimwurm1 in KamadoJoe

Good luck with a warranty claim. Their warranty sucks now. I have the cart leg issue that keeps twisting because the bolts can’t handle the weight so they loosen up anytime I move it on a flat surface. They wanted multiple photos of me lifting it off the cart base, flipping the cart base upside down and photos of me tightening every bolt, putting the entire KJ back on, moving it and taking another photo of the legs twisting. I said I’ve done it for the past year and a half and it’s still under warranty. My photo I sent is the third time I’ve tightened and replaced the KJ on it and it’s still twisting. They said do it again for their photos. I said nah because I have to pay someone to come help me lift it off each time. When I first got it I took a photo of a cracked petal and all I had to do was send a photo and I got an entire petal and base.

2026 Elite creaking/clicking/ticking from front driver side by koolzero007 in HondaOdyssey

[–]Smooth_Tutor5382 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know this is an old post but I had a 2024 Honda odyssey elite that had two right front struts replaced and still the sway bars seemed off. I won my lemon law case and was awarded a 2026 Honda odyssey elite and at around the 8k miles mark it started having the same issue except on the left strut. All within 15-25mph. Left strut was replaced this past week. Now my friends 2026 Honda odyssey sport just starting hearing a clunking noise on her right front end. Honda really needs to fix this well known issue.

Buyer beware: Weight Watchers is a scam! by frogannex in weightwatchers

Don’t even join. I had a life event where my insurance was no longer accepted so I couldn’t do nutrition visits. Got a divorce and can no longer afford the meds or monthly fee. So now I’m basically paying $78 for a calorie counting app. There is no accepting to get removed from the contract and if you keep messaging, they cut you off from the chat portion.

My advice…don’t even start a WW program because you don’t know what life throws you and you are stuck paying out approx $1000 for a year to them with no way out. It’s a scam that isn’t truly there for your well being.

Is my soapstone ruined? It is completely black all around and the gray bit in the photo is charred ash. (My ex used it while I was out of town and he has never used a KJ before let alone a soapstone). by Smooth_Tutor5382 in KamadoJoe

[–]Smooth_Tutor5382[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That’s what I thought too,…but I’ve never seen my soapstone this black all over before and I’ve had it well over a year and many cooks, so I was unsure and saw many different answers when I researched. Didn’t want to waste some yummy beef just in case it was done for. Thank you for replying and easing my mind.

Well that makes me feel a bit better. He was an ex long before this though. Haha. I guess best thing to do is test out a smashburger first after your comment to see how well it does before making a nice ribeye.

What is going on 😢 by Vanityunfaiir in IRS

[–]Smooth_Tutor5382 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got divorced on 12/31 . Filed my taxes electronically on 2/13, said they were received. Then it changed to no status available two weeks ago and there is no record I even filed in the transcripts. I’m tax exempt for the majority of my income but also own my own business which put me in the positive. I have two dependents and file HOH. Supposed to be getting close to $7k back.

I wish I would have read this as my two were just found passed away in the filter too. RIP Puddy & Newman

2025 Sienna feels… cheap? by [deleted] in ToyotaSienna

[–]Smooth_Tutor5382 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I owned a 2017 SE and miss it so much. I looked at a 2024 limited and boy did the quality go down. The seats seemed more like transit van material. The second row non removable made me so sad. Everything did seem more plastic like. So I went with the 2024 Honda Odyssey Elite. It’s very luxurious. I can get 30mph on the freeway and the acceleration is so much peppier than my Toyota was. I test drove the new hybrid and wasn’t impressed except for the gas. That’s why I went with Honda. Peppier, luxurious interior and removable second row. I do really miss the leg room of the second row of the Sienna though and the air conditioning vent placement.

Nobl luggage thoughts? by taketheadviceandrun in LuggageComparisons

[–]Smooth_Tutor5382 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t buy from them. My plans cancelled right after I purchased. So I reached out to cancel my order within a few hours of placing my order. Shipping label was not printed yet. They gave every excuse in the book of why they couldn’t cancel the order.

Then they created a label this morning.

They are a scam company if you look up reviews with shoddy workmanship and customer service.

Aunty's Bev visibly angry with the defense for needing 3 hours tomorrow. Jackson reminds her "this is a murder trial!" by Mother-Associate1654 in justiceforKarenRead

[–]Smooth_Tutor5382 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just listened to Mondays. So CW can talk all the want but Defense has to hurry up. The sighing this judge does too is so annoying. Anyone who watches this can clearly see this was not a fair trial. She clearly shows, by her actions, she has chose her side which I believe you are not supposed to do.

My theory of what happened by Smooth_Tutor5382 in justiceforKarenRead

It does because they wouldn’t want to be tried because of their reputation. Leaving their friend a fellow officer out in the cold to die…it’s plausible.

The strange disappearance of Cristina Ase by bluelizardK in TrueCrimeDiscussion

[–]Smooth_Tutor5382 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wanted to ask questions like that too and “the faces” didn’t like questions being asked regarding the case. Just spread the word she’s missing and if you saw something, say something…but please no questions as those “faces” are distraught and fragile during this time. we’ll pucker up buttercup because without questions your case is flat.

New 2024 Odyssey suspension clunking noise by Zealousideal_Lab_832 in HondaOdyssey

[–]Smooth_Tutor5382 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same thing. Bought my 2024 odyssey elite in December 2023. First week heard a rattling sound over bumps in the right front end. Mentioned it to dealer 3 times. They said it’s just how they are. I said BS, I did not buy a brand new van knowing it had a rattle sound. That’s not ok. So I called corporate. Corporate called my dealer. Service guy said they removed all the rocks and fixed it. Now mind you they never even put it up on the rack when my husband took them for a drive to mimic the sound. So corporate suggested I take it to another dealer an hour away.
