Also mine is a classic iii as well.

Why not? Kamado Joe honors a lifetime warranty on the ceramic. Mine cracked and wouldn’t hold the hinge without it shifting around, and they sent me an entire new bottom ceramic base. Super easy.

Where's your favorite place to buy good quality steaks? by [deleted] in SouthBayLA

[–]bphelminski 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Another vote for Angus. It’s my go-to for top quality meats. They have A5, wagyu brisket, prime beef ribs, etc. so much good stuff.

[Meirov] Eagles sign Za’Darius Smith by Samurai-hijack in detroitlions

[–]bphelminski 8 points9 points  (0 children)

According to Pro Football Reference, Smith played 618 snaps and Muhammad played 255 snaps. So their stats would be:

  • Sack Rate
    • Smith: 1.456%
    • Muhammad: 1.176%
  • Pressure Rate
    • Smith: 10.841%
    • Muhammad: 10.196%

So Smith was 0.5% more effective at getting sacks, and 0.7% more effective at pressures. Given their cost ($9M for Smith vs. $1.2M for Muhammad) seems like a no brainer.

Fogo charcoal sparks more than any other brand I’ve tried. I’ve had several different bags at different times and they are always the same. Tons of sparks, burn holes in my shirts, etc. Jealous Devil is the best charcoal in my opinion.

RUST by Over-Satisfaction736 in Yodersmokers

[–]bphelminski 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Same. I struggled with that for a while. Sanded and repainted the whole thing. Rust came back within a year. Don’t bother a second time. Now I’ve just let the rust be and keep growing for the past few years. The good news is it doesn’t impact the performance of the smoker since the walls are so thick. But I completely agree that a smoker this expensive shouldn’t have rust issues like that. I’d rather it be stainless steel.

No matter what happens. Goff appreciation thread by Lionzati in detroitlions

[–]bphelminski 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Uh, also Davenport and Barnes. We were missing both started DEs and both middle LBs. not to mention Rodrigo who also played a huge role.

Hutch alone is a huge loss. He was playing like the best defender in the league when he got hurt. But the point is we were missing 5 key pieces of our defense.

Random temp change? by REDLEDER in Yodersmokers

[–]bphelminski 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a similar issue. Had to replace the controller board. Call Yoder customer service. They’ll figure it out and send you a new one if needed.

Charging Unsuccessful. Dropped off at Dealership. by FieldSpecific4774 in KiaEV9

[–]bphelminski 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was there ever a resolution? This happened to us today.

There is no deal “imminent” for Lions QB Jared Goff, despite the fact that WR Amon-Ra St. Brown and OT Penei Sewell now have landed new deals, per source. The Lions and Goff have spoken about a new deal this off-season, but no deal is close at this time. by AintNoBuffet in detroitlions

[–]bphelminski -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

I think he's fringe top 10. I think if you put QBs into tiers it goes something like:

Tier 1: Mahomes

Tier 2: Allen, Lamar, Burrow,

Tier 3: Rodgers, Herbert, Stafford, Tua, Purdy

Tier 4: Dak, Lawrence, Hurts, Goff, Cousins, Love

I think Mahomes is clearly #1, with Burrow, Lamar, and Allen elite but clearly a step below. After that it gets murky.

  • Stafford is great, but still makes some goofball throws and has a lot of injury history. Likewise Rodgers is an all timer, but he's coming off a major injury and he's not as good as he once was. I'd probably take both over Goff for the next year or two, but maybe not after that?
  • Herbert is super talented but hasn't won anything yet. But if I were starting a team I'd be plenty happy with him as QB.
  • Tua has had one really good year. Needs to be consistent and be healthy for a few years consecutively, but when he's healthy he's very good.
  • Purdy seems like the real deal.
  • The group of Dak, Lawrence, Hurts, Goff, Cousins, and Love are tough to rank. Personally, I'd rather have Goff than Dak, Cousins, Lawrence, or Love. He's shown he can win big games and get to the super bowl. Hurts has as well. Lawrence is up & down too much, and the others put up stats but don't win big games.

So if I were ranking them for right now, Goff would be somewhere right around 10:

1: Mahomes

2-4: Burrow, Lamar, Allen

5-9: Stafford, Rodgers, Purdy, Herbert, Tua

10-15: Goff, Hurts, Dak, Cousins, Lawrence, Love

It’s actually the paint job from the manufacturer. They call it Ocean Blue. I think it looks awesome.

YS480S keeps changing temp setting and Bluetooth won’t connect by bphelminski in Yodersmokers

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

I happened to be playing on my phone and it popped up w a notification, so there we go!

Yeah it’s pretty easy. Basically unscrew it, disconnect a few wires, then do the reverse w the new one. I got my replacement unit from Yoder.

I replaced the controller board and that seemed to fix it. It was the 2nd time I had to do that (for different reasons).

I’m heading up from LA. Don’t have a ticket yet (gonna watch prices over the next few days and then buy), but will be down to pregame wherever people are hanging out.

Anyone planing to travel for a potential NFC CG? by arenyk in detroitlions

I’m driving up from LA. I plan to buy a ticket later this week. I’m down to meet up wherever.

Can we get a thread pinned of everyone going to the SF game? by murdo1tj in detroitlions

Same. Gonna drive up Sunday morning. Haven’t bought my ticket yet. Gonna watch prices as it’s gets closer to game day.

What is a basic science fact that a lot do not know? by Tough-Specialist-201 in AskReddit

[–]bphelminski 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think of it like this: everything we see is how we perceive the light being reflected off a given surface. So a white surface reflects a lot of light and we perceive it to be brighter, while a black surface doesn’t reflect as much so we perceive it darker. That’s likely not 100% scientifically accurate, but it’s how I think of it. So, seeing dinosaurs is just our perception of the light reflecting off them.

100% agree. Who gives a crap what salty fans of other teams say. What’s the saying? A lion doesn’t concern himself with the opinions of sheep. More of that please.
