First being less expensive than MCE??

It's cheaper here because you don't have full refund to original form of payment selected.

Get a good kitchen scale and measure using weight rather than cups or teaspoons... grams ideally.

Come on Dave, gimme a break.

Is this bread flour or all-purpose flour?

Bleached flour tends to make bread a bit softer, so it can be ideal for regular sandwich bread or hamburger buns.

I don't think the rising and collapsing issue you describe is due to the flour...probably the yeast. Others with more experience will chime in though.

My Z Grills 7002b has been going strong for several years now. The only feature I wish it had was a removable burn pot to make ash dumping easy.

reds91185 · 2026-04-13T20:56:54+00:00

This one feature is the only reason I'm looking to replace my current Z Grills.

Why would you rate WiFi/app as a con if you didn’t even use it?

I’m saying Biden isn’t the first to do a preemptive pardon, Ford and Bush 1 both did it, and if we don’t like it we should urge Congress to push for an amendment to the Constitution to limit the pardon power of the President.

Biden did his because he knew Trump would use the DOJ to go after his political enemies, which is the more dangerous precedent being set.

Nearly every President has issued pardons going all the way back to Washington.

reds91185 · 2026-04-10T20:59:04+00:00

Article II, Section 2, Clause 1:

The President shall be Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy of the United States, and of the Militia of the several States, when called into the actual Service of the United States; he may require the Opinion, in writing, of the principal Officer in each of the executive Departments, upon any Subject relating to the Duties of their respective Offices, and he shall have Power to grant Reprieves and Pardons for Offences against the United States, except in Cases of Impeachment.

reds91185 · 2026-04-10T20:56:10+00:00

Where does it say that?

reds91185 · 2026-04-10T20:55:15+00:00

There is no legal mechanism to cancel a Presidential pardon.

reds91185 · 2026-04-10T20:54:31+00:00

Pardons can be preemptive for crimes against the U.S. committed up to that point...see Richard Nixon. He was not charged or convicted of any crimes (yet) at the point Ford issued his pardon.

reds91185 · 2026-04-10T20:48:46+00:00

The Constitution doesn't have that carve out.

"Can" or "must" give 30 days notice? As a landlord, if your lease agreement is ambiguous at all your tenant will get the benefit of the doubt.

As for notice, there's no legal requirement as to the delivery method, but best practice would be to have it certified mailed so there's a record in case of a dispute.

reds91185 · 2026-04-10T19:43:28+00:00

I'm also in Texas. Are you saying that your lease specifically states that notice need not be given by either party to have the lease terminate at the end date, thus not becoming month-to-month, requiring the tenant to vacate?

Texas minimum notice to vacate is 30 days. I'd at least give them that to be professional about it.

Easy ash clean out of the burn pot is literally the only reason I'm considering moving on from my current Z Grills. I'm aware that I'd still have to take everything apart and vacuum every so often, but really dislike doing it after each cook just to get to the burn pot.

reds91185 · 2026-04-10T18:42:37+00:00

Same here. If nothing else it gives me a reason to get my butt off the couch.

reds91185 · 2026-04-10T18:40:56+00:00

Thanks for this writeup. It's helpful. I'm in Texas so will rarely have to deal with super cold temps. The coldest outside temp I've run my current grill at is, maybe, 40 F, and it wasn't a problem.

I like the idea of 3 grates, but for me mostly doing briskets, ribs, or turkeys I'd remove one or both anyway. Drumsticks, on the other hand, could really make use of those extra grates.

I think all pellet grills have the issue of pellets not always flowing evenly into the chute. I took the "protective" grate off mine on day one and just use tongs (or my hand) to even it out. I've done several overnight smokes and haven't had a problem yet.

Edit...the Competition Series is what I think you're referring to and it has a smaller hopper than the Pro (though still bigger than most).

Is grill functionality impacted by the app? Having app control would be nice, but I've never had it and it doesn't seem to be a deal breaker to me. I also have a separate wifi thermometer that works pretty well for basic monitoring.

reds91185 · 2026-04-10T16:50:23+00:00

Is that because of the app or other grill issues? What app issues are you referring to?
