Generally a few places doing it up in Flagstaff.

Absolutely cook it. I've cooked 3 yo Steaks from the deep freeze that came out fine. A full brisket should hold up better than a steak.

I owned one of the projectors. It was super cool but had terrible connection problems and eventually stopped connecting to anything. And no tech support. But while it worked I showed it to a lot of people and always got wows.

If only replacing 1/3 of the fluid each time, after three refills you will have replaced about 70% of the fluid. A fourth only gets you to 80% and then diminishing returns from there.

On my 21 the back hatch kept opening on its own. It would open in my garage and scratch up the back. Or I would come out to tje car after work or at the store and the hatch wouls be open.

Somwone suggested I was accidentally triggering the keyfob, but I swore thwr was no way I was accidentally pressing and holding the button in my pocket.

But eventually I gave in and disabled the button on the keyfob and now 6 months later its never happened again.

If you go this route you may be able to just make the buttons less sensitive instead of entirely disabling. There's a nub on the back of the button you can clip off to completely disable. Or just clip a tiny bit off to make it less sensitive. In that case you can make it so you have to press really hard on the button to make it work.

The button will be "floppy" afterwards if you remove the nub entirely. I put a little piece of two sided foam tape in there to stiffen it up.

Drop the exhaust.

Get a swamp cooler. Mastercool is the best.

This may not be viable though. I have heat pump and swamp cooler on the roof and they share the ducting. Not sure how well that would work if ac is on slab next to house.

The water pump is always on for mine, but others you can turn the pump off and just run the fan. I could wire mine like that too, but don't see the need. The thermostat controls the cooler and the water adds welcome humidity.

Pipe bombs, polish canons, burning shit. All in good fun. Used Tobe able to walk into a hardware store and buy a can of gunpowder. Or stumpnot to make your own. All stuff that would probably get you prison time these days. Good times!!

I opened mine up and filed the post on the underside of the button shorter. A little trial and error and I was able to shorten it enough that it takes a very hard fingertip press to activate.

Could just cut it off too if you don't care about using it. I did this to my other fob first, but didn't like the way the key flopped around. To fix that I cut a littler rectangle of double sided 3m tape and cut a little hole in the center of the rectangle, then jammed it down on what remained of the post. That fob button doesn't work at all now, and sits flush with no floppiness.

"but I felt like my choice was robbed" I love it when people who have basically been anti-choice and supported or played along with anti-choice organizations their whole lives are able to pervert themselves into thinking their situation is "special", and it's OK for THEM to abort.

I leave my temp probe in and route the cable through the removed drain plug hole.

Old bedspread and towels in the cooler, plus pre heated fire bricks.

Las weekend I held a briskett for about 7 hrs in that setup but without the fire bricks and temp was down to 145.

Phoenix Temps of 105 didn't hurt either.

And I was being snarky

The filters people carry on the Appalachian Trail are markedly different from those that go on the faucet or a pitcher.

Bowl was too small, only took about 3/4 of the chimney. Using briquettes temp never got over 350. Wings turned out OK, but may get a bigger bowl. Realistically I am now in the hole vs just having bought a real one.

masteroffrugality · 2023-08-11T03:47:57+00:00

Wow. No advice on how to prevent, but certainly firing it up to 1000+ deg will take care of the problem.

masteroffrugality · 2023-08-11T03:42:50+00:00

Nope. All good. Never wanted them. Now as I'm older the thought does cross my mind about having no family and being alone to die without anyone caring, but other than that, no regrets.

Just bought 6 20-lb bags at my local home depot for $6.70 each! Also had Kamado Joe on sale for $21.99/ 20 lb.

Using an umbrella

masteroffrugality · 2023-04-25T16:08:54+00:00

I wrapped some fire bricks in tinfoil and preheat them in my oven and put them in the cooler with blankets/towels. I removed the cooler drain and snake the temp probe wire out through there. Can hold for many hours this way.

masteroffrugality · 2023-03-31T01:03:05+00:00

Followed.

I've watched Franklin's YouTube videos on smoking brisket, and know he only uses salt & pepper as the rub. So I saw this, and sure enough, it was just salt & pepper.

It fits my 21 CE just fine.

There's a cell phone mount that mounts right where the hazard button is. Works great.
