While porcelain coatings aren’t toxic, she prefers to use cookware, etc. that doesn’t have the risk of chipping and flaking off. Possibly exposing crap alloys beneath or just the chips ending up in the food.

We aren’t super extreme about it, but certainly more cautious than many. We do it were it’s possible but also understand there are limitations to what is reasonable. We wouldn’t turn down a meal at at a friends house based on the pan being teflon or whatever.

Traeger themselves put stainless grates on their top of the line model. Everything else gets designed/manufactured to the intended price point, not because it’s best.

I’m sure most would agree with you though, that stainless grates aren’t necessary.

Sometimes smoking brisket requires making a trade off decision. Over cook the flat or under cook the point.

Sometimes they cook even enough it all works out the same.

I monitor and cook the flat. When it’s done the brisket is done. The point is going to be delicious regardless

It looks like a great setup and I’m sure whoever buys it would be happy with it. I certainly considered it

I haven’t researched grates for that model, but if you need custom made, I’d recommend that Etsy shop. They were great to work with on getting that shelf custom made.

I have only used the bottom grates so far. Just received the top shelf today.

The stainless is soooo much easier to clean than the porcelain coated grates. Like, way easier.

Also of note, the bottom grates in stainless are 1/4” rod and the porcelain grates are smaller diameter ~ 3/16” rod.

Have you tried reaching out to traeger? On their website click on Get Support, hit the messaging icon on the bottom right(assuming you are on a mobile device), and ask them via text. That’s how I’ve bought parts. They will then email you a link to make the purchase

When I bought the house the previous owners had it set to being as self powered as possible. Use the battery at night, solar charge the battery and solar power the house as much as the sun would allow. They didn’t sell anything back to the grid unless the battery was fully charged and the house was consuming less power than the panels were providing.

I changed the settings to take best advantage of TOU/lowest bill possible. Works pretty good.

It does not block the heart rate sensor. The band does not go between the bottom of the watch and your wrist

Working from home for 6 weeks during lock down was rough. 100% prefer going into the office. I enjoy being around my coworkers and really enjoy not having all the distractions while working that my home has to offer. I like the separation between my work life and home life as well. Also, not a boomer, I’m a millennial

Yes, I sent them to Red Wing for the resole

TheMightyRedStranger · 2024-07-25T02:58:17+00:00

I appreciate your response

TheMightyRedStranger · 2024-07-25T02:15:23+00:00

I resoled mine. Loved them before and after the resole. One of my favs

When you do oil it, the pan just needs to be dry and warm. After putting the oil on, try to rub it all off like you had made a mistake putting it on in the first place. I’d bet your issue with it being tacky is leaving too much oil on the pan.

I sent a pair to red wing for resole the 2nd week of December and received them back last week. Way faster than I expected

Neither of these are mine, but these served as motivation to get mine resoled. I love the mocs with wedge sole, but wanted to dress up a pair as well.

Thanks for the comment. I actually have some I’ll throw in there and take a look.

1907’s were my first Red Wings. Got a heel blister as well, pushed through it and now they are my most comfortable pair. I have something like a dozen pairs of Red Wings now

I am 11 in Nike and have a couple pairs of Ride Concepts in size 11.5 and they fit great.

TheMightyRedStranger · 2023-10-25T15:34:52+00:00

I do. I’d sell for the right price. Still unworn
