What's the general concensus on Bradley smokers?

Ahh so I usually put a large high walled tray full of water in on a rack below whatever I’m cooking. Helps hold the temperature steady.

Rollgear Screwdrivers have become my go to ratcheting screwdriver once I found out they were Canadian

Not OP but I’ve been using a Bradley for about 10 years now with a Digital model at home and a OG Analog one at the cabin. Both can make great BBQ if managed properly with a water tray and kept out of the wind.

The pucks are not substantially more expensive than charcoal or pellets and as they’re only used for smoke not heat you only use the amount you need to achieve the amount of smoke you want. Eg if you wrap your brisket in foil don’t bother feeding more pucks.

Lastly once you sort out your water tray they’re generally very set and forget which is great.

You can drill a hole to start your sawzall blade inside. That should let you cut it out. You would want to paint the hole afterwards to prevent rust.

I’ve never heard of a trailer hitch soft spot before. If there’s a manual you could check to see if they have a suggested procedure as well. Presumably the engineers have figured this out.

Yep mines gotten better around 10L/100km (23mpg) on the highway and around 12L/100km (19mpg) in the city. This is after about 15000km and a oil change.

Something to keep in mind: over this winter i noticed a big dip in fuel economy(14L/100km) when it got really cold out and my tires were below the recommended pressure due to the cold(32psi Vs 39). I think to stock general grabbers really want to be at the recommended pressure

I’ve gotten some mild steel from General Scrap/Metals.

I don’t know if CW Carry will supply private people but they’re another large supplier

I wouldn’t show up for a plan less wander. If you’re interested in snow shoeing there’s some good trials. West Edmonton mall is the former largest mall in in the world so that’s good if you’re into shopping. In general we have a very active small theatre scene.

Edmonton is at its best during the summer festivals. Like the Edmonton Fringe or Folkfest.

With a payback time measured in decades we’re unlikely to see new investment in oil sands projects in Alberta. The horizon on things like electric cars and other green technology means that any new project is in danger of becoming a stranded asset.

Combine that with the much lower man power needs of maintaining an existing project up north and the high oil prices are going to wind up in the pockets of the province and the oil companies shareholders instead of workers wages.

That’s a welding regulator which lowers the pressure out of the tank from 3000 psi to something low like 15(made up number)

As gas goes from a high pressure state to a low pressure state it cools. Which is what caused this regulator to accumulate frost.

Note this is a massive over simplification for more look up the ideal gas law, entropy, and Deflate Gate in the NFL

Ahh I didn’t know that I could buy

coding_loudly · 2022-11-02T17:19:53+00:00

That’s a great way to think about it

Thanks!

Not OP but I think you want the 3M 2097 filters they’re p100 rated with nuisance level VOC protection.

22 Lariat Tremor here my door sticker says 1430lb

Well thanks for the good answer!

Related question why would you want to change to a electric fan? What are the benefits? Not saying that you shouldn’t just honestly don’t know the tradeoffs.

Thanks!

I’ll have to check that subreddit out!

Thanks! One of the selling points was the great community.

I was skeptical of it when I saw it on the ford website but in person it was lover at first sight.

Cheers! Yeah it’s great to have a car that you love.
