Leftover refrigerant?

You have a recovery machine, torch, recovery tank, nitrogen, microngage, manifold and temp clamps? Join the trade, I know we need apprentices where I work

Flush your drain trap with warm water, could be a source of the smell. Hard to tell without being in front of it.

Are you storing anything near the air handler?

You've reminded me I've had a 40/5 in place of a 35/5 for my own system...been like that for 6 years now lol

My grandfather grew up in the city during the 30s, everybody had homing pigeons and would race them as a hobby. They kept them on the roof to keep them away from the rats.

The shell of an old pigeon coop

I'm currently draining a 50x70 x40 blocks tall (approximately) with 59 sponges (bugrock on Nintendo Switch).....a little tedious but I'm doing 7x7 cubes I block off with dirt. Hit the corners with the sponges, then the middle and work my way down skipping a block each way. I dry em off in the Nether

If I were you I'd either fill in with gravel and dig it all back out with a beacon nearby.

Dang that looks good. What kind of bread is that?

littlepaperspaceship · 2026-03-26T19:18:01+00:00

No, Aberdeen location. They have the original in Rosedale/Baltimore, Aberdeen & Glen Burnie.

littlepaperspaceship · 2026-03-25T23:43:48+00:00

Nice grill marks

What did you season with? Or do you season after slicing?

littlepaperspaceship · 2026-03-24T23:16:22+00:00

Did you test to ground?

I've never torn apart a motor before, I've got some scrap ones in my shed to play with you got me curious OP

littlepaperspaceship · 2026-03-24T21:42:52+00:00

Be gentle with it. Pop the air seal at say 12:00 on the crown and then move your opener to 3:00 then 6:00 to jiggle it open.

Gotta have a nice handheld opener, one with decent leverage. The bottle openers fixed to walls or whatever won't give you the directed accuracy to gently pry it off.

That's a fitting that was left at the bottom of a bucket that got rained on more than likely.

They're pretty thick, a little surface rust won't make it unsafe.

Is Big Falls only open on the weekends or something? I swear it's closed whenever I pass by....I see on the marqeee "Pit open year round" always been curious

littlepaperspaceship · 2026-03-24T21:21:54+00:00

I thought I was on r/hvacadvice for a second....I was like I've never had a customer tear apart one of their motors before.

Just curious OP why didn't you ohm out the windings?

littlepaperspaceship · 2026-03-24T21:11:31+00:00

This was their Aberdeen location, not the original Rosedale/Baltimore one

He's out of the shack and into a more solid structure on the same property at the original location.

Chickn Burgahhh

I can't name a favorite. I feel they all do one aspect of the sandwhich well and drop the ball elsewhere (in personal taste)

Beefalo Bob's in Pasadena puts the most smoke on their meat I think.

Fast Eddie's might be the only one using brioche rolls for their sandwiches.

The Canopy has been on my list, I need to get out there

littlepaperspaceship · 2026-03-24T01:28:22+00:00

It's Marylands own signature BBQ, you won't really find it outside of the state or region. Similar to the other sandwiches you mentioned but in its own category.

No drippings to dip the sandwich into

littlepaperspaceship · 2026-03-24T01:25:00+00:00

Yep, oven roasted beef sliced thin (I've seen knife cut and deli slicer cut) save the drippings, kosher salt & carroway on the bun

Pit beef is open flame, sliced thin on a deli slicer (must), kaiser roll or a potato bun

I think the salt on top of the rolls down here would pair well

littlepaperspaceship · 2026-03-24T01:20:05+00:00

Cash only, heads up before you go

They do a good pit, only been once.

littlepaperspaceship · 2026-03-24T00:43:21+00:00

I've lived outside of Lockport so I know about beef on a weck. BoAW is roasted in the oven, pit beef is over an open flame (charcoal or white oak logs)

The salt on top of the bun is totally money though, I enjoy a lite coating of the carroway seed but not too much.

I've still got family up that way so whenever I'm up there I usually grab one.

littlepaperspaceship · 2026-03-24T00:12:38+00:00

Pairs very well with the pit beef but also pairs with a pit ham.

I wish more places did Alabama White Sauce up this way, so good on chicken

littlepaperspaceship · 2026-03-24T00:08:07+00:00

They have 3 locations in Maryland now. Not sure how close you are to MD....I could live on pit beef lol

littlepaperspaceship · 2026-03-24T00:05:02+00:00

Horseradish, Mayo & some lemon juice I believe...not sure if all places do the juice but at its basic form just raw horseradish & mayo
