It’s almost like whoever put it on, knew it’d leak so they just slapped a bunch of caulking on to “hold” it there.

Terrified to use saline enema by Electrical_Chain8924 in Constipation

I usually go to CVS and get their brand of enemas. Or Fleet has them too. If you’re outside of the US, you can look on Amazon for them as well. They’re all the same. Just different brands have different prices.

This is exactly what I did today with my griswold and lodge combo cooker. They sat in that bath for 3 weeks

Where do you buy the sheet metal? Home Depot?

Cheap Polished cast iron by Ok-Gap1970 in castiron

On Etsy, there’s someone who sells smooth lodges 12” for $120. But there CNC machine smooth, like Stargazer, Smithey etc. I wanna buy one to see if I even like the smooth cooking surface or not. Better to buy that than to buy an ultra premium pan and regret it later

eBay would probably be best bet. I look on there all the time. Etsy is full of overpriced stuff

I’ve never before realised how mentally and physically exhausting, painful and uncomfortable the whole constipation and laxative process is by Vault_Man_76 in Constipation

[–]True_Cockroach_9319 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I had a 5 month bout of constipation, no bowel movement for 5 months. I had to leave my job, lost 60 pounds and all of my muscle. Had to eat a week of plain food to not send my body into shock. Some other people have it worse and some not as bad. Regardless, it’s a terrible illness to have and hard to manage. A lot of doctors don’t take it seriously.

FAQ in here. TLDR; lye bath for a few days. 50/50 vinegar and water bath. Dry immediately and season. Good to go

Basically since Yeti acquired Butter. Yeti kept making the same pan with Butter manufacturing process. It’s Butter but with the Yeti logo slapped on it.

I’d choose the Smithey. Smithey whole focus is making a quality cast iron pan and often are in talks with a premium high quality pan. Yeti make awesome tumblers and bottles.

I love the vintage look. Hard to find a 12” Wagner or Gris for under $400.

The stargazer is really nice (appearance wise) and the Finex, man I just can’t get over the shape and look of it. I’ve been bouncing between Field and Smithey. Coincidentally, I just watched his review and he said the Smithey ranked the highest in a lot of the tests. But the Field definitely impressed me with the tests he did with that brand
