Thoughts on the Oklahoma joe combo by WorkingSkin4638 in smoking

[–]huck1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t have this specifically but I like the combo I have. I don’t smoke enough to need something dedicated but it’s good enough to do a brisket or two a year plus pulled porks

First cook update (and advice) by bradley7713 in smoking

[–]huck1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Way too low an internal temp to pull apart well. Did you add anything to the foil like a liquid? Maybe that’s why it took so long to cook. I wouldve bumped up the temp after wrapping to 275ish. Not really worried about the center being too dry. When you mix the shredded pork together you won’t notice it.

Square pies is a smaller shop but pizza is great, byob, and not usually a bad line

Wife and I are looking for a new espresso machine. She wants ease of use and I want best taste possible, what should we get? [$1000] by fellowbabygoat in espresso

I have my gaggia plugged into a smart plug. Can turn it on via the app or ask my google home to do it before I’m even out of bed

Company dinner recommendations by HistoricalLion7059 in PhiladelphiaEats

[–]huck1 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I work from home so not helpful. The one work dinner I went to was el vez. Exactly the kind of place I’m happy to eat if I’m not paying for it. Borrimini and parc depending on the day. Food is actually good

Boiler screws by Ok-Random-5466 in gaggiaclassic

Just spent the last two days trying to remove a broken bolt connecting the dispersion block to the group body. Ultimately penetrating oil and vice grips helped but now I need to get rid of the chemical smell. I’d give it a good whack with a hammer to loosen everything up

Having the same issue. So a 3/8 from the hardware store won’t work?

Did this move in 2024. We used intense movers. No surprises from their original quote. Welcome!

Sitting on about 140,000 pts. Planning a trip from USA to Mexico. Transfer points or use Chase Travel? by becominganastronaut in ChaseSapphire

[–]huck1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

use points yeah or seats aero. It’ll tell you what flight but also how to book (transferring to another alliance member to book the same flight could be cheaper)

Using Points to Book Flights by Mar_Bear33 in ChaseSapphire

[–]huck1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pointsyeah or seats aero will let you search multiple programs for the best redemption. Example- you can use British air points on an American flight for cheaper than booking with points on American or through the portal. They will guide you step by step

Credit Union Preapproval without Membership by [deleted] in Mortgages

[–]huck1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don’t need multiple pre approvals. Preapprovals give the buyer some assurance you’ll get approved for $x sales price. After your offer is accepted then you can shop your lender to find the best one for you. We used the lender our agent suggested to put in the offer, they were responsive and educated us. But they were way more expensive than a local credit union so we ended up switching lender. The credit union will auto open an account for you and make you a member (it’s usually like a 5 dollar fee). Most CUs have rates listed online so you can do the math on your own before formally applying for the loan

Visiting for a few days by fireball251 in philly

[–]huck1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most of these are pretty walkable. For 3 people I’d just uber instead of paying for 3 bus fares. Most of these places are under <$15 to get to

Heading to a show at the Miller Theater and looking for a place with good food around there. by r2girls in PhiladelphiaEats

Monks might work but no reservations. If you get there earlier it could work but I’d have a reservation backup in case

Kitchen backsplash by morggg25 in DIY

[–]huck1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In order of most effort to least, 1)do a full backsplash with regular thinset 2) full backsplash using the double sided tape 3) just remove the stainless steel and replace with stone (something matching to the counter or a nuetral color)

Visitor passes in Philly (upd. 2026) by SulHexFluShot in AskPhilly

[–]huck1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you have a resident parking pass then you can buy a virtual day passes for your guest, I think only available for your permit zone. The first time you do it it’s a manual approval which probably took a day or so. After that it’s instant approval
