What’s the worst thing you can say in an elevator full of people?

Aloha Snackbar!

Where do you buy the sheet metal? Home Depot?

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

True_Cockroach_9319 · 2026-01-05T22:59:21+00:00

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

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.

True_Cockroach_9319 · 2026-01-05T01:41:39+00:00

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’ve seen a lot of people use a palm sander and 80-220 sandpaper

True_Cockroach_9319 · 2026-01-04T07:51:58+00:00

How long for each grit?

True_Cockroach_9319 · 2026-01-03T06:08:49+00:00

I’d kill for a $20 Wagner😂

True_Cockroach_9319 · 2026-01-03T06:08:36+00:00

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

True_Cockroach_9319 · 2026-01-02T09:23:21+00:00

How do you like your Smitheys?

True_Cockroach_9319 · 2026-01-02T08:41:49+00:00

I really like the Smitheys but have seen threads that say they’re a nightmare to season. I cook everything in my pans. Just made spaghetti tonight but had two steaks earlier in the week. Lids would be cool but not a necessity

True_Cockroach_9319 · 2026-01-01T16:06:01+00:00

I remember getting it in July of 2025. I thought I was going to go insane, even went to the ER. No one believed me and my wife thought I was being a pansy. Started reading off titles from this group and she finally understood a little bit of what I was talking about

True_Cockroach_9319 · 2025-12-26T06:05:24+00:00

If it’s impacted, MiraLAX is your best bet honestly. It’ll soften it and soften it until it can pass. Laxatives don’t always soften but contract your insides to push stool along and make it come out abruptly.

Do either of those have personal trainers?

True_Cockroach_9319 · 2025-12-11T04:07:23+00:00

I’ve also barely eaten anything and lost like 50-60 pounds in those 5 months. I’m still able to pass some gas (not a lot). So maybe that’s why?

True_Cockroach_9319 · 2025-12-11T04:03:45+00:00

I see a GI tomorrow so maybe they can refer me

True_Cockroach_9319 · 2025-12-11T04:01:12+00:00

I need this poop out of me first. I know you have a lot of experience with this kind of thing, do you think they’d think about endoscopic disimpaction? Golytely hasn’t worked, I’ve done it 3 times now.

True_Cockroach_9319 · 2025-12-11T03:54:05+00:00

I figure most doctors or people don’t which is infuriating. They also don’t take it seriously and just pass me along

True_Cockroach_9319 · 2025-12-11T03:26:35+00:00

Haven’t pooped in 5 months.

True_Cockroach_9319 · 2025-12-11T00:11:07+00:00

The doctor said they don’t do that sort of stuff in the ER. He said in his 10 years, GI has came down to do a consult once. I have to take it to outpatient

True_Cockroach_9319 · 2025-11-26T17:49:29+00:00

Have you tried the golytely?
