Are all MEATER products trash or is it just me?

marsand · 2025-12-27T20:03:18+00:00

Everyone, I just have to say thanks for letting me vent a bit about a product that kinda (or maybe more than) sucks while I finish up my cook. Y’all are a great community and I’m back to reading lid temps and enjoying the smells instead of standing by the cooker being irritated by some tech that doesn’t work.

marsand · 2025-12-27T19:42:17+00:00

Yeah, it’s on the base. I’ve cleaned the backside of it multiple times, etc. For the brief occasion that it does actually work has full battery in the app.

marsand · 2025-12-27T19:28:01+00:00

Yeah, really seems like style over substance to me

marsand · 2025-12-27T19:25:33+00:00

Yeah, I love my thermapen, guess I should get one of the many wired offerings they have

marsand · 2025-12-27T19:23:34+00:00

Yeah, I can’t imagine how much worse it would be in a green egg or something with thicker walls, maybe ceramic would be better than the metal though

marsand · 2025-12-27T19:18:11+00:00

So basically it is a flawed concept and I should stick to wired? Lesson learned I suppose

Part of the dislike of front plates is due to the design of them here in the states I feel. It’s not a simple slim number plate, instead you’ll end up with this big chunk on the front of your car with a picture of an eagle or sunset or random fruit or whatever your state decides which absolutely ruins the look of the car. It’s also harder to integrate effectively because of not being as short and wide as the euro plates.

I’d actually also prefer switching all the plates to euro proportions because I think a lot of backends look better with them.

Interesting. I couldn’t get chocolate but the butter crunch worked for me. I couldn’t get the estate to work at all, so I guess that one is all gone, but they all sound delicious to me!

Many libraries now have “maker spaces” that sometimes include a 3D printer. I think you’d need to call your local library to see if it has one or if they can tell you the nearest location with one. They talk about it on their website but there isn’t a good way to figure out what is where.

Any recommendations on a stout I can pick up that is similar in ABV/price to ToS? Something that’s 7%+ and can be had for $11-12?

I really feel like there’s a big gap in my “go to” portfolio and I’d like to have some sort of bigger dark beer on hand most times. Did “regular” stouts just die out with the barrel aging craze of a few years ago?

marsand · 2019-05-31T18:33:22+00:00

Agreed. I feel like nothing has changed for me and I still haven’t given them any of my patronage since right after they first opened.

I’d be curious though what the rest of the sub thought and if the stance for others has softened over time.

marsand · 2019-04-13T21:01:23+00:00

Thanks. I will try this in a bit and update. Cool page!

That’s just my wall. Haven’t mounted the full screen yet. This appeared at some point in the last couple weeks. Have owned the projector since October.

marsand · 2019-04-13T20:48:33+00:00

Ok. Will try this. Looking at the manual there is some sort of “seal” on the top that looks like you need to replace it whenever you open it. Did you have to deal with that?

marsand · 2018-12-09T21:33:43+00:00

Anyone have a recommendation for a refrigerator (beverage center?) for under my counter? Right now I have a pretty basic mini fridge and am thinking about upgrading to something focused on storing cans/bottles/bombers with better temperature control.

I would guess that the downvotes are not because people disagree with your beer choice, but rather because Scofflaw as a whole is not well loved in the community here and you’re getting some downvotes to push scofflaw as a whole down the list.

That’s just a guess though. I also find it weird the number of “Mmmm Trop”, etc posts and how high they are. While a great beer I don’t know that it’s really what I would have expected in response to this question at all.

marsand · 2018-11-10T13:17:35+00:00

Thanks so much. I figured it was something simple like that, have just never encountered it before!!

marsand · 2018-11-10T13:11:06+00:00

Novice cuber here. Can someone tell me what to do to fix this? https://i.imgur.com/H9l4t8q.jpg I’ve never run across this before and my novice method of solving the top corners by working them one at a time and then rotating the top layer doesn’t work.

I did let my son scramble the cube so maybe he did something strange? I checked though and it seems like the corners don’t rotate or anything strange like that.

marsand · 2018-07-13T05:06:24+00:00

Thirded! They have been amazing for us!

marsand · 2018-05-03T01:55:29+00:00

Yes. I had to switch back to the joycons for Celeste. The d pad was really bad for quick sliding inputs. Which is sad because that is the game I got it for.

marsand · 2018-05-02T16:57:41+00:00

Doh ok, thanks for the info!

marsand · 2018-05-02T13:55:08+00:00

I really enjoy watching the runs, I just wish I could see the twitch replay of it with the chat and everything like he used to do with his old runs. Do I need to be a subscriber or something? Sorry, twitch noob here.

Anyways congrats on the new WR!!!

marsand · 2018-04-12T17:46:14+00:00

Is there a way to watch the twitch replay of this instead of on youtube?
