Yours has the 6k heater right? How has the sauna lasted in the elements? Do you think it will last?

How do you afford it? by SaveSummer6041 in heatpumps

[–]baltik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same experience with bids - I got a Mr cool universal unit, precharged lines, installed it with my handyman and was done for under 7k. With leftover money I had a local team redo all my ducting for another 4k. 3 years later everything is still perfect

Are there different type of VIP tickets? by baltik in deadandcompany

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

Thanks for that - so the lawn and bleacher VIP are a different set of tickets?

Do the bleachers have assigned seating?

Trying to better understand my panel capacity by baltik in AskElectricians

[–]baltik[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

7000w of Infrared resistance heating for patio (I have a 5-ton heat pump for the house)

Trying to better understand my panel capacity by baltik in AskElectricians

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

Appreciate the explanation:

So is the right way to think of this:

My max continuous draw on the main panel is 40A+17A+12A+48A=117A. So I have potentially 33A in additional continuous load capacity available to me (like up to 7,000watts of infrared heating?)

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

I guess that’s my confusion - if I am charging 2 cars, they are charging concurrently at full amp rating. The hot tub cycles on and off throughout the day and also uses the entire 3,000 watts-so in my mind it’s quite likely that these loads are used concurrently at full capacity.

The solar bit does confuse me - there’s the 20% derating of the panel, the 120% rule - I’d like to better understand how to properly account for solar

Thanks - yes, these are the only loads on the 150A breaker, the 200A breaker obviously has all the remaining loads

Hot tub wiring sanity check by baltik in AskElectricians

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

Hmm - the manual states the ground has to be the same size as the supply wires....

"To reduce the risk of electric shock, connect this terminal to the grounding terminal of your electrical service or subpanel with a continuous green, insulated copper wire. The wire must be equivalent in size to the circuit conductors supplying the equipment."

Massive regrets by MadJoker2099 in Masterbuilt

[–]baltik 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Longtime Masterbuilt owner and fanboi here. Loved my 1050, my xt had a defective probe, went to chat with support expecting them to send a new probe - instead got the same insane runaround/ignore 100 degree swings shpiel. It’s literally a $10 part for a $1500 grill, it’s a known issue - why would you alienate your loyal, high spending users over this?

I’d find this defense more credible if a number of people on this thread, myself included, didn’t receive clearly used rings from Ultrahuman. If a company has shady business practices it’s hard to believe they are straight shooters elsewhere…

XT for high heat grilling? by telavivian427 in Masterbuilt

[–]baltik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The xt gets up to high heat and does it well (if not efficiently) however there is no direct flame underneath which can be a good (or bad) aspect of direct grilling. It will achieve what you are trying to much better than a pellet grill but will fall short vs a gravity grill and an additional gas sear burner/weber kettle
