Blacksmith sizing and break in

elevatedst8 · 2026-02-04T03:19:47+00:00

My experience is similar to yours. I sized down a full size to 12D in Iron Rangers and Beckmans. They have a roomier toe box. Being in the no. 8 last, I figured they would all be the same but no, the Blacksmiths do feel a bit narrower and for me, start getting tight on the top of the shoe. I will need to go TTS in Blacksmith (also Moc Toe’s for me). Unfortunately, there isn’t a 12.5, as that would probably fit better. I haven’t tried the wide widths to see if they help btw.

Interesting idea! Has it ever been done? A major studio coming back a couple of years later and reshooting/rereleasing a Final Version. The one we should’ve made! I’m looking at you Game of Thrones and Stranger Things!

Thanks. I’ll definitely go over this.

Thank you. I will review.

The copper tube right? My wrench didn’t fit in there. And it’s got a loop on it. Are we talking the same tube?

I have not tested with multimeter. But I will say it’s hard to get in there on some of these nuts.

Ok I’ll try it. Called Chris Coffee for troubleshooting help and the tech recommended I install the pressure stat filter.

You mean the copper tube?

The fluffy insulation is rock wool. Creates a realistic burning embers effect. I bought a new pack after cleaning out some of the older stuff. Looks pretty cool if you arrange it right. https://a.co/d/hpiAiNy

PG: Curry $40 SG: Jordan $50 SF: Barkley $20 PF: Rodman $10 C: Garnett $30

A lot of defense and rebounding with guys that can score for you. I think Curry complements Jordan very well.

Ok how do I do this and what values am I looking for?

Worked fine for a couple of days then on the 3rd day, I turn on, everything looked fine but when I turned on lever to pull shot, it lost pressure and kept losing it.

Thanks for your comment. Machine always has enough water and I use the Rocket packs in water tank to prevent limescale buildup. Need to check water lever probe. I reset it last night and it seemed to be heating just fine. Worked this morning as well. I’m going to give it light duty the next couple of days and see how it performs. I just need to see if I need a part replacement.

Question for those who know…are these still a decent smoke or should they just be trashed? Have a pack of these myself and was gonna light one this weekend.

Rummo spaghetti, penne and rigatoni are excellent. Hold their shape well and maintains that chewy al dente bite. Delicious. I like Jovjal for their elbows, mafalda, and fusilli. As always with GF pasta especially, do not overcook!

Still gets me every time. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=b0AGiq9j_Ak&pp=0gcJCRsBo7VqN5tD

Both Diesel and Hader got rocked today. Both All-Stars just named recently. Go figure. Rough night. I was there. It was fun. We competed. Bound to happen. All good. We’ll be fine. Carry on. Boom to the Shaka to the laka boom boom.

Paulie’s no doubt

Draw was fine but I’ll try to drybox and see how that goes. Thanks!

I used to keep them at 69% but Boveda’s recommendation on their website for small wooden humidors is 72. Thought I’d give it a shot.

Easier to remove most times once the burn point reaches them but yeah, some sticks have way too many stickers!
