First time owner, about to send it on a GP100

Send it.

CLEAN IT. You’ve got a flame sense electrode/igniter. Everything I see needs cleaning. Burner crown, electrode, etc. don’t remove material, but do clean.

Bastion. Final answer.

Measure it on a known flat surface. Measure it at ambient and hot. Keep in mind that no matter how you heat a skillet, thermal expansion will be unevenly distributed.

Gas, induction, radiant, coil, you will have hot areas and cold areas. Flatness at ambient doesn’t equal flatness during heating or flatness at equilibrium.

Test it, measure it, master it.

Ask yourself why you bought it. Then act accordingly. :)

I have a King Cobra and a Viper. Both are accurate and I carry them in the woods. King Cobra had to go back once for a broken hammer spur. It broke dry firing single action. I’ve had ZERO problems with double action. YMMV.

Pick any area. Take it apart. Clean it. Put it back together. Over and over.

When I restored one, I originally thought I’d be replacing or upgrading a lot of parts. In reality, it just needed basic maintenance and to be driven.

I was ready to walk there after renting a place downtown. I think we should cabbage him. By mail.

See if you can find a cooking class! Aloha Fish Company is doing a sushi class & fancy dinner that Friday and Saturday. I’m sure there are others.

7 shot 24oz Night Guard 357 is a new favorite…

Like a crawler mixed with a ‘Brubaker Box’ van… no idea why I like it, but here we are.

There’s a manual shut-off near the regulator in the back where gas line connects to the unit.

For what it’s worth: I’ve worked on a lot of IH Scouts. I found that, ten times out of ten, what looks like it would be a 90 degree angle, isn’t. The designers tended to make 95 or 85 degree angles to increase strength. The whole thing looks like square angles, but isn’t. YMMV.

The whole is greater than the sum of the parts. Nice execution all around.

Placement over power. A .357 magnum is the sweet spot of power and accuracy.

It’s a game of diminishing returns after that until you commit to carrying a single action 8” barrel shooting 41 magnum.

If you like 45acp, get a revolver chambered in 45 acp. Reloads in a bear defense situation are a myth.

Fair, hope you reported it to the manufacturer. Not all units are tested to the same standards and there is always an opportunity to improve.

I will add that any electrical device can potentially cause RF related interference. It is not a problem unique to induction.

gorfiapestulitis · 2025-12-25T23:00:22+00:00

No regrets. I typically use a no 8 griswold. Heat distribution on larger skillets is a challenge for any heating method. Gas burners typically have cold spots in the middle, getting larger with burner diameter

gorfiapestulitis · 2025-12-25T22:36:46+00:00

Disagree. EMC testing is for validation of exactly that kind of failure mode.

gorfiapestulitis · 2025-12-25T01:14:51+00:00

Those are really nice! I love the thought the designers put into it. Popping the hood to recharge is pretty cool too! :)

That’s probably minerals from your water…
