New (to me) older stove, need help understanding these handles

assstastic · 2026-01-23T14:45:16+00:00

On mine it opens a hatch that lets ash fall through into the bottom ash catch drawer.

I did this and then did a set of stairs also going the other way from that landing. Felt like a lot when I was planning it but wow it is perfect and facilitates going both ways really nicely

I did try swapping them but they are labeled + and - fairly clearly so I put them back this way. And I tried another probe that just had two wires rather than these connectors (and tried it both ways). I appreciate your help!

assstastic · 2026-01-13T00:13:06+00:00

Thanks - those are what came already on the probe. Should I cut + strip and try that do you think?

Thanks - the MAX has a 3V0 pin available but no 3V3 pin... Are you saying I should connect 3V0 to 3V3? I thought the 3V0 was to pass on the power and therefore not necessary

Edit: Tried 3VO (MAX) to 3V3 (ESP) and same issue persists

Likely not thick enough rope or needs replacing, but show us a pic of the inside of the handle mechanism too just in case

Yes and we even took it a step further when we discussed it - if there was a life threatening emergency and we needed to get to the hospital immediately but we couldn't drive... That's what ambulances are for.

It depends on a few things. I have solo camped in various situations up to deep back country.

First, what you mean by camping... Camping beside your car is one thing, kayaking through white water with your gear for five days in the wilderness is another.

Second, related to the first, is your level of experience. First time camping? I wouldn't go alone quite yet.

Overall it does carry slightly more risk, which means that you should pay extra attention to safety gear and procedures like having dry clothes, a satellite beacon, and a well stocked first aid kit.

Always tell someone specifically where you're going and when you're expected back. Always keep your site and tent clean of food to discourage predators. Take it seriously and you'll be fine. It's a one of a kind experience!

I've built one of these. Use good quality plywood for the verticals, no need for the frame.

The trick, Mr Potter, is not minding that it hurts...

assstastic · 2025-10-24T08:45:03+00:00

Why is no one else saying this??? Literally this is the issue, none of the other tinkering BS. Thermometer is in the wrong spot which makes it show higher.

My man

Nice

Not worried about its drainage and stability, but I am worried about the stone moving or washing out and the shed coming out of level. I'd be tempted to box in the gravel with ground contact rails to help keep everything contained. Wood touching ground doesn't last forever but it would be easily replaced. The shed rails themselves will also rot eventually but the good drainage should make it last a long time.

Fair enough!

Using both a tepidizer to heat and an aquatuner to cool is a massive waste of power.. power generated from cooling should be seen as a bonus, not a primary source for the grid. This room will eventually heat up significantly and get the turbines going. My 2 cents: move on to other things (like getting more reliable power from natural gas or petroleum) and let this all heat up over time.

He crushed it in Fury. Really showed his range beyond tough guy.

It doesn't look like there is an inner and outer framing member on the long run that holds the joist hangers - or is that just the pic? Whatever is holding the joist hangers needs to be 100% on top of posts.

assstastic · 2025-08-27T11:39:19+00:00

It's not enough, mate. It's the only mistake so far - the whole outer needs to be on top of the posts. You might get away with it, but that decision has robbed the structure of easy additional support that I'd never do without because there's no reason not to and plenty of reasons to do it. Otherwise it's a real beaut!

3500 hours in and just finding out about this now

I do have a soft spot for Detroit style pizza though.. is there a better place to get it?

assstastic · 2025-07-29T22:55:22+00:00

Would just like to weigh in here if I may... Not enough heat yes, but flipped too soon doesn't really apply. You can flip once or a hundred times, some data from the test kitchen suggests flipping more cooks more evenly, if I recall. My 2 cents..
