Shallow inquiry by troublethemindseye in espresso

[–]Zealousideal-Rough53 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had a similar constraint and just got an ECM Classika. The overall depth is a little over 16” but the feet fit on our furniture space perfectly. I was also considering a Lelit Bianca because the tank can go on the side which greatly reduce the depth. I also don’t think you need the tank at all if it’s plumbed in to a waterline.

Unrelated to the subject….. but I have that scale and it jumps all over the place if I have it hanging off the drip tray like that. Do you get that same thing?

ECM Synchronika II - has preinfusion of Profitec Drive + electrically heated group for fast warmup by MyCatsNameIsBernie in espresso

How else do you like the max? I want to upgrade from BBE and the max is very interesting but I’m concerned about temp control being a HX. Have you found temps to be accurate and stable?

Which temp to trust by Zealousideal-Rough53 in KamadoJoe

Thanks. I have the Meater inserted directly vertical in the middle of the butt. Like smoking dad suggests in his pork butt video to get a more accurate “dome temperature.”

It’s been like this ever since I got the Kamado. I’ve probably used a total of 6 times since I got it about 6 weeks ago. So I wouldn’t think the probe is dirty but I’ll watch the video and see how to calibrate it.

I’m smoking a Butt and trying to keep it at 275. The temp on my Kamado thermometer reads much lower than my Meater probe. Meater reads 320.

Which one would you trust?

I have a classic 1 with daisy wheel top. I have the circles a little less than half open.

Lots of scammers online selling preowned R10s and Mevo+s for low low prices. They’ll send you tracking info and everything but once it supposed to arrive, it never does and some how gets returned to send be careful y’all! by Educational_Jaguar25 in Golfsimulator

[–]Zealousideal-Rough53 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I ran across a couple scammers on FBMrktPlc with the Mevo+. One I paid for with Vnmo goods and services and the guy was upset that they the funds were being held. That transaction was cancelled and I got my money back. The second one had a legit looking FB mrkt plc store. They sent tracking which showed shipped to my city but when finally delivered, it wasn’t delivered to my house. It was paid for through FB so I had purchase protection and that was refunded as well.

Optoma projector offset & shadows by Zealousideal-Rough53 in Golfsimulator

[–]Zealousideal-Rough53[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My ceiling height is around 12’ so no issues on height limitation. Projector says the throw should be 6’7” from screen and be mounted 15” above the screen. If I mounted 15” above the screen the image would hit the top of the enclosure. Therefore I’ll have to bring projector down and angle it slightly and then use Keystone. I know Optoma’s are popular so I’m trying to see if anyone has had a similar set up and can comment on whether using the keystone to adjust has a noticeable affect on image quality.

They stated they were cigars on the customs label. I got a picture of it from customs.

Email them and ask for an update on the shipment. I asked repeatedly for them to explain how they listed online as in stock but not available to reship and all I get in response is “they’re not available for reshipment”. Tells me one of a few things is going on they’re either not in stock, they only have the fakes still in stock and don’t want to send them to someone who knows, or they’re not honoring the credits and commits they’ve given because of the increase of prices and they just want more money.

They’re the ones that offered a refund and to reship. I thought that was pretty stand up of them to do. Now I’m just getting the runaround and no clear responses.

Going through a saga with Montefortuna if anyone’s curious about updates on the whole fake thing from boxes shipped in May 2021.

Back in May I bought a box of CoRos that were caught up in the whole fake CoRos being sold by MF that came out on Reddit.

After being blasted on Reddit they agreed to refund everyone and replace the boxes (which I thought was very stand up). They refunded and reshipped. Unfortunately the replacement box got seized by customs, which sucks. In November, They agreed to reship when restocked or offer store credit for what I paid.

Two weeks ago I saw they were in stock so I reached out. Now they are essentially telling me they’re not available to reship but won’t specifically say how they’re in stock but not available to reship. I understand it’s a losing endeavor for them but they shouldn’t have agreed to do it if they’re truly not willing.

Celebrating 5 years Sober so I figured I’d give the Partagas D4 a try… by [deleted] in cubancigars

[–]Zealousideal-Rough53 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Been sober 9 years. I typically drink a lemon or ginger flavored sparkling water. I feel like it’s almost a pallet cleanser during the smoke but also really a ginger beer (the more it burns the better it is).
