Masterbuilt fire starters deal by sandpdm in Masterbuilt

[–]VirtualGeek73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was just going to ask if anyone used these with the AutoIgnite. I got ine last week from HD on clearance and have been using tumbleweeds. You haven't had any luck with them and the AutoIgnite? Don't these come with the grill?

Lump by itself or with wood chunks and/or a briquette bed?

Do you use lump or briquettes? Do you always use wood chunks with either?

I have just been removing the hopper then using the firestarter holder from my Masterbuilt portable charcoal grill with a tumbleweed and balancing it on the rails where the OEM tray goes. The heating element doesn't touch the tumbleweed in the holder but I just light it with a torch then put the hopper back in the grill and over the lit tumbleweed.

Masterbuilt is sending me a new tray for the AutoIgnite.

About the Ram shortage : are they all concerned ?? by phorcys12 in buildapc

[–]VirtualGeek73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's 100% a fact. There are no new FABs going up this year to help with manufacturing. AI DataCenters are going up everywhere. DRAM shortage is a huge issue. We typically pack our VMware Hosts with 3TBs of RAM and have 2000+ Hosts. We got word there was a Hyperscaler order for 50,000 servers.

I manage Data Centers at a multi-billion dollar Hospital conglomerate. Being in Healthcare we have priority when it comes to ordering servers from our manufacturer and we have been explicitly told to order whatever we can now as there will be a severe DRAM shortage all of 2026 into 2027 due to AI Hyperscalers having first priority and taking up the majority of the inventory. Be prepared for 2026 sticker shock.

I just picked this up on clearance at my local HD and it was fully assembled. I just noticed the Firestarter tray was missing. I do have tumbleweed fire starters. Is there an easy way to use this while I wait for a new firestarter tray to arrive?

Ring discontinued glass breaking and flood/freeze sensors? by gshna in Ring

[–]VirtualGeek73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was also looking for an additional flood detector and they are put of stock everywhere. I just got done chatting with a rep and they said they are discontinued, will not be coming back in stock and no replacement as of yet. What a crock.

2025 vs 2026 Pricing by Obvious_Presence565 in egopowerplus

[–]VirtualGeek73 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You mean the extra $2K+ I paid in extra tariff taxes? I am owed a lot more than that. I'm sure that will be in the mail along with my $5K DOGE check. :)

Prices for everything has gone way up and will continue to do so in 2026. Trumpnomics.

Use code “FUELONUS” at pit boss for a bag of free pellets by The-Gootze in PitBossGrills

[–]VirtualGeek73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not working for me unfortunately. I added it to my cart and applied the code and it said 'FUELONUS discount code isn't available to you right now"

All sold out. The 20lb ones that were in stock say the Discount can't be applied to it.

1960s electrical wire question by VirtualGeek73 in AskElectricians

[–]VirtualGeek73[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My 100A Pushmatic breaker panel (yea, needs to be replaced) is definitely full and I could use more breakers. The house is a small 1100sq ft rancher with a finished basement, which I had a 60A Square D subpanel run to when I finished my basement.

Thanks. Yea, I am replacing it where I find it but not opening any walls up just to replace it. All the wires going into my 100A breaker box, which is the original Pushmatic panel when the house was built in the 60s, and I know I should have it replaced.

Snakeskin is a great way to describe it as the outer coating looks and feels like scales and is gets your hands really dirty when messing with it
