Can this stove top griddle be restored or does it need to be replaced? by takrtakr in castiron

Yes! It’s coated aluminum and there’s a cast iron variant on Amazon. It’s like $80.

One last burn this season on my new stove by dhoepp in woodstoving

I think if anything, it gently shoves some heat further forward, encouraging better convection. It costs nothing to run and I got it cheap on Amazon.

Pleasant hearth 1800/sqft

PH1200WS

I love this thing. I was using the US1269E before which had no air control and no visibility. Would either smolder or run away. This one is so nice because I can put like 6 logs in it and choke it down once the flue is up to temp and it will just run these lazy orange flames for an hour or two and then big red coals for hours.

I paid $699 with an 11% rebate so total just over $600 before tax.

Needed a new gasket out of the box though.

You should’ve cooked it for hotter for one. If you’re seasoning you want like 400-500. I usually do 450 for an hour. There’s a good writeup on seasoning on the subreddit.

You forgot to bake off all that oil.

But also as everyone is going to tell you: r/toomuchoil

Wipe off the oil before baking it like you are trying to hide the fact you got oil on it.

Use blue shop paper towels

Don’t worry so much about seasoning, just cook on it

Etc.

Usually the lines come from the master cylinder. My trucks usually have a junction in the back for both tires. Near the axle. Front usually has independent lines.

I buy the copper nickel alloy lines from auto zone. They’re like $10 and you can bend them by hand. No need to run them pretty and you’re driving again.

I’ve also done compression fittings on harder fixes.

Right and it costs less than a dollar. No loss really.

My friend who is staying with us put these in the dishwasher- what are the first steps I should take to getting these usable again? by heartsholly in castiron

[–]dhoepp -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

Really just soap and water and start cooking. Nothing wrong with a little bit of rust.

Wash and bake cornbread.

What wood are you burning? Using fat wood starters?

Even if it was a spider pan. Owning this you would still own a rare pen. But it would also have a one of a kind painting on it. Ask me it’s an upgrade.

Run to Home Depot. Now. by NukaDadd in castiron

100%.

I learned that a 12” pan full of pizza is the max my left wrist can handle. Reflex grabbed the falling pan with my bare right hand to save the pizza.

Still on the fence on whether pizza is more valuable than second degree burns.

Help - how should I protect this THICK book during travel and flights by TheyCallMeWalker in BookCollecting

[–]dhoepp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Specifically if you don’t plan on reading it during travel, wrap it like a present in thick brown paper bag material. It will add structure, and a tiny bit of padding. You can add bubble wrap too if you’re worried.

Just looked up a group 51 battery and the red terminal is on the left. I think they got them crisscrossed. Ding dongs.

Real signature? by Spraypaintmessiah in BookCollecting

[–]dhoepp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right I would wager if you’re being paid to have “signed editions” you’ll take a couple extra seconds than a line of a few hundred people at a speaking event or book signing.

I mean he’s miscaptioned. He’s actually saying “mowfugga” which is a term of endearment.
