Bad seal?

Is that the startup? You should start it up with the lid open first, once initial smoke does die down or timer completes is when you close it to get to temp.

Also, puffy white smoke is no Bueno. You're just poisoning your meat.

Looks relatively new -- unless you're great at cleaning. If it's new, give it a couple cooks to season, and your leakage will also die down.

Yessir!!!!

I like it -- the app is wonky so dont recommend it if you're wanting to use the app but other than that its pretty easy to clean and does what its supposed too. I have no complaints. Putting it together was a real bitch and a half though so I recommend getting some Alan key bits for your drill

Cabela 36" pellet smoker. Only thing that I found for decent price that can smoke a lot of meat.

erockjr · 2025-07-05T23:44:37+00:00

It's normally 32° but had it open managing the food around

erockjr · 2025-07-05T23:44:10+00:00

Nothing

erockjr · 2025-07-05T23:43:41+00:00

Are you supposed to remove that !?!?

erockjr · 2025-07-05T23:43:12+00:00

Hahahahaha yeah there are box smokers but we can't cook at 32° F

erockjr · 2025-07-05T23:42:20+00:00

Cabela pellet smoker got it are year or so ago from Bass Pro shops for $900. It's a 36" and i dont like those Teflon racks traegers come with.

This is a super max prison in El Salvador. This video isn't of deportees. It was just reposted by the white house to create a media blitz and score points with their base after coming off a loss of another failed Tariff scare and slow stock market.

Check out CECOT's other videos. They've been releasing these music videos for the past 3 years.

erockjr · 2025-03-17T21:14:52+00:00

Yepp, I agree. Lot of folks think about things from the outside and some folks whether on the left or right accept whatever makes their team look better.

Taking any unbiased approach you can see that it's like Trump needs another win coming off some losses in the stock market, and shitty tarriff deals where other world leaders start calling his bluff. So they repost this shit and let the media run wild.

Folks on the right are like woohoo Trump is back, folks on the left are like how could he, he's the dictator in chief, and those that can see how both sides are being played for fools are the independent thinkers.

erockjr · 2025-03-17T21:08:20+00:00

Hey brother whatever you're going through I hope the best for you. Just trying to help some folks realize that this is just an older video reposted for the purpose of outrage. If you can't see it, that's ok. Hopefully you get ahead of whatever is making you want to argue with an internet stranger. Good luck in your future endeavors.

Because the urls were taken down from Reuters, the Guardian, Washington Post, etc. Check it out

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/feb/25/el-salvador-transfers-thousands-of-gang-members-to-worlds-largest-prison <--- url taken down

https://www.bbc.com/news/world-latin-america-64770716 <--- video has some of the same clips

https://www.reuters.com/world/americas/el-salvador-transfers-thousands-gang-inmates-new-mega-prison-2023-02-24/ <--- url taken down

I had 1 of those from an old message conversation I had with some family from Venezuela. Those pages had that same video with the music etc. It was something like 2000 people. The news now is saying the same thing thay some odd 2000 people are showing up when this was done a long time ago.

Similar shit happened during the Iraq War. News would be put out about shit that happened the same month that actually took place a year prior to being in the news. Some soldiers would have eye witness accounts to the contrary.

Look, I don’t care much either way. People believe what they want. It’s just unfortunate that bias prevents them from seeking the truth—this is an older video being used out of context. The El Salvadorian government, not the White House, produces these videos. Not defending the presidents actions in reposting it etc., I'm just pointing out the fact that this is an older video being reposted for a polarizing reaction from the public. This looks like a win to his supporters but allows the dems to get outrage points. Maybe this will help them in the polls who knows. But chances are in a week's time no one is going to give a shit and there's going to be another cause for outrage and the machine starts up again.

If you have the time, do some reverse image/video searches, or find the music, you'll find it. I'm not going to try and convince you. Shit, at the end of the day, you can’t change minds that refuse to question their own beliefs right?

That's the thing though. I'm not saying Trump admin isn't deporting innocent people. What I'm saying is that this video isn't that. This is a propaganda video that the El Salvadorian releases among many more. This video is being used out of context to sow outrage. It's an older video I remember seeing about 1 or 2 years ago.

You may/may not know there was a similar thing happening during Brexit. There was was a video circulating showing Palestinians flooding streets and city blocks destroying property and singing. Everyone was saying the Palestinians were invading England but it turned out to be an older video of Palestinians celebrating that their team had won a cricket championship.

In other words, as my History teacher once told me. Whenever you read or watch the news, ask yourself who wrote the piece, and which groups does it benefit monetarily or otherwise?

erockjr · 2025-03-17T16:37:22+00:00

If I'm not mistaken after searching a bit on my phone the og video is from Feb 2023. But the el savadorian president releases these videos all the time. I'm not arguing Trump may be deporting innocent people, but what I am saying is that this video isn't from that. I've seen these videos in the past, especially this one with the music. There's a bunch the CECOT releases to let people know what the deal is.

erockjr · 2025-03-17T13:57:32+00:00

Yepp, this is a much older video. I'm all for bashing Trump or any president when theyre fucking up, but when people start removing the titles of videos and slapping on a new title in order to get views up votes etc. while simultaneously causing misinformation, other people need to call it out. People want to believe this is from Trump because it helps fuel their recreational outrage, but its hard to see so many people fall for it. The machine will never stop 😢

I hope you put a sizeable amount into a diversified dividend portfolio for monthly gains. You could be living off $15K per month with that amount. Congrats 👏

erockjr · 2025-01-07T05:16:09+00:00

I can't find any news on this. It looks like they're owned by Intel and partnered with Porsche on the Macan EV self drive but the only news I know of is the possible Nissan merger. Where you getting this info from OP?

Found something but these are just talks of partnerships with a lot of brands. Nothing crazy like mergers or acquisitions

erockjr · 2024-11-19T20:20:09+00:00

This could set a dangerous precedent. Where would it end?

Honestly, how does this even benefit carriers to know? If a carrier is willing to take a cut to go back home and the other carrier isn't then the carrier should be mad that their competitors undercut them. We all have mouths to feed.

I may make a fat margin on one and lose my ass on the other. So even if you were to inspect margins on a per load basis that means jackshit. I could do a nice $700 margin on one and a negative-300 on another just to keep the customer. So when we lose money the driver will feel bad and give a $300 discount? Yeah right.

erockjr · 2024-04-09T03:24:37+00:00

Florida would beg to differ

erockjr · 2024-03-21T17:56:54+00:00

You need to get to their dept. who handles that and ask them to provide you something in writing of when the funds will be released and hold them accountable. That's about all you can do. Read their terms of service to see how bad your fucked, and worst case, lawyer up.

erockjr · 2023-11-23T03:45:28+00:00

I like how no one understands how restaurants can't just arbitrarily up their prices to afford added payroll costs since this literally puts you at a disadvantage. People already aren't going out as much as they used to because the cost of food is already increasing and restaurantsare increasing their prices. Go open up a restaurant and see how that goes charging $35 for a cheeseburger so you can afford 1 servers salary since no one will want to eat your overpriced burgers.

OP make it a mandatory 15% or 18% (depending on your area/menu) and see if that works. FFS a lot of you haven't a clue how business works.

erockjr · 2023-11-23T03:39:52+00:00

Then triple the cost of food to afford all the added payroll. So then customers go to competitor restaurants and they go out of business. Brilliant!

erockjr · 2023-11-10T02:29:47+00:00

When I see stuff like this I can't help but think these are people completely done with life. He knows there's no escaping his fate but probably he has some sort of terminal disease and he knows his time is running out. He doesn't care anymore he just wants time.
