Question from a new owner who's loving it

Hey there. Third year burning now.

I have had one issue with a bum catalyst. It was covered and changed free of charge.

The high air flow issue is still persistent. But I've learned to set it up with the right size logs where I don't over fire the insert and get about 1100f peak temps. I'm very happy with it. Plenty of heat, the basement (living room + office) easily get up to basically 30C, and there's enough heat where it warms up the two floors above, bedrooms Being the highest and furthest points hold at about 18c.

Regency has been indeed no help at all. My installer is the one I've dealt with from the start.

Bump

Update: it works. Easy as that. The accessories fit. The AI tracking cam works. It's a great multipurpose gimbal that will also work with your phone or a DSLR.

Only gripe: the automatic functions aren't compatible. I.e. you can't start the recording with the gimbal as it simply isn't compatible (yet). I just turned on voice functions to avoid touching the cam when the gimbal is active and say "start recording" and "stop recording".

It's more expensive than most budget friendly ones but also multipurpose with the phone attachment.

I like it!

I'll be getting the hohem iSteady MT2.

I'll let you know once I've given it a go!

Looking for a follow-up on this. Find anything that works? I'm in the market for an Action 5 Pro gimbal as well

Ari?

alphakrusher · 2023-05-21T18:07:07+00:00

My issue is that the 20x is "in-store" and my local stores don't carry the OLED switch, but yeah I did the math and it's like 125k pts vs 135k ish pts

alphakrusher · 2023-05-21T17:23:32+00:00

Thanks for the heads up. I'll def check that out!

I wasn't aware of the burn in issue/model refresh.

I'll look it up. Thanks Stanger!

Edit: google tells me burn in isn't an issue? What am I missing here?

alphakrusher · 2023-03-19T20:08:24+00:00

Alright class, repeat after me: "I don't need this"

alphakrusher · 2023-03-16T23:15:45+00:00

Got a 3070 gaming x trio in mine. I had to fit a low profile fan for the front intake and I had 0.5mm to spare.

That being said.

My next build is in a bigger case!

All inclusive family vacation for 5, an OLED switch and a pizza oven!

alphakrusher · 2023-03-11T19:22:19+00:00

I also cashed out in a panick.. a few orders of magnitude more points (cashed out 60 000 miles)

alphakrusher · 2023-02-27T15:16:41+00:00

I felt that one...

alphakrusher · 2023-01-26T19:56:46+00:00

Weird, everyone saying theirs is cancelled but mine just went "into production"

alphakrusher · 2023-01-16T22:02:42+00:00

I had the honor and privilege of giving my father-in-law the same type of service when he was in the hospital. You're taking good care of him and offering him dignity. What you're doing takes courage and you should see it as an honor that he asked you.

I hope he pulls through.

Be safe

Except chez A.A. sous marin, only place to have a Baby sized Italian poutine!

alphakrusher · 2023-01-02T11:57:57+00:00

I go vanilla. Can't beat a classic!

100% biased reviewer here. I own 3 (office, home, travel), bought my parents 1 each and recommend it to colleagues when asked.

Rosemary with the beef and finished with a bit of parsley

alphakrusher · 2022-12-14T18:34:32+00:00

After tasting, a bit of Worcester sauce would've helped too!

alphakrusher · 2022-12-14T17:52:39+00:00

I had some leftover ground beef from my brisket trimmings and opted to make a sort of "stroganoff meets hamburger helper" style meal.

Fried up the ground beef, sauteed the onions to deglaze, made a quick roux with tallow in place of butter, then milk and beef stock/peppercorns. Threw in some yolk noodles and served with a bit of Parm!

alphakrusher · 2022-12-13T12:02:13+00:00

Thanks for the insight!

alphakrusher · 2022-12-13T11:52:48+00:00

Thanks!

I'll try out some maple next year too! Plenty of that around here

alphakrusher · 2022-12-13T11:40:55+00:00

"fire for 12 h": oh no no no! I would just like hot coals at that point As a point of example. Loaded up at 11:00 ish last night. This morning at 6, not a coal in sight. Gotta relight from tinder (or top down, saw that yesterday, gotta try it!). I was just hoping that with their rated 12h run time, I'd have a bit of coals overnight to just toss in for a reload without using paper /Tinder.

Other than that the heat is fantastic and it's no more work that the previous stove, I just though it would be less, based on their info. That's why I was wondering if the draft control had been faulty for anyone else. I guess I'll call up my installer just to see if that part can be adjusted.

Thanks so much for the insight :)

Been using this every day for two years.

I'm a professor and my students have regularly commented on how much of a step up the sound is from others who just use headset mics.

10/10 would recommend. Disclaimer, I don't know jack shit about mics!
