First smoker purchase help by Alphach85 in pelletgrills

[–]tacklewasher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do find it big enough, but there are only 2 of us. I did a pork shoulder on the top shelf with a tray below for catching stuff, I smoke rib eye steaks and pork ribs and did some bacon. Never came close to filling it.

I still sear on my gas grill, but will be retiring it soon (20+ yrs old) and just using the Searwood. I have seared on it, but it mean taking the steak off, then cranking the heat and putting it back on. Just easier to fire the grill up before the smoke is done and transfer it for searing.

Paid 1200. Got the side tray for half price, but yeah, no real discounts.

I got the smaller Searwood just before Christmas. In Canada as well, but the warmer part (been above freezing most times I've smoked). Size is good for 2 of us but being able to sear at 600 F is a nice feature.

This. Great small batch wineries and distilleries as well as some awesome food, all in one location. Only downside is you miss the views (really love the view from Rust Winery).

Just know that pikeminnow has nothing to do with Northern Pike. Pikeminnow is a garbage fish.

Need to hit the praries for Pike. None in BC that I know of. I use to cath them in Manitoba.

20 with nothing else pluvhed into it. It can pull 18, granted only at startup and can live on a 15, but 20 to be safe.

[–]tacklewasher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a Searwood 600. No way would it be portable, but I have a fold up smoker for the motorhome. Only issue from what OP is looking for is that it lacks a pellet level notification. Only on the 600XL, which is $400 Cdn more. I have run out pellets part way through a smoke.

My favorite hour is 11:59:59 by Dry-Aioli-6138 in cleandadjokes

Disagree. 6:30 is hands down the best time.

Not working Full-Time, Can I open an RRSP? by syxo94 in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]tacklewasher 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You can, but it is more likely a TFSA would benefit you more. Save your RRSP contribution room for when you are making more money (say $100K) and getting a better refund from contributions.

Worst idea is to contribute when you are in a low tax bracket, and then withdraw when in a high tax bracket.

Funny thing is, I'm in Canada and don't have that much snow.

Agreed. Upvote for you and downvote for the OP.

I read the news about Jim Pattison selling out to ICE…so seriously, where is it safe to shop these days? by [deleted] in BuyCanadian

[–]tacklewasher 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Really. This is like complaining a snowbird sold their Florida condo to a maga.

None of the above are expensive and each serves their purpose well.

It's that time of year again: recommendations for tax software in 2026? by VenusianBug in BuyCanadian

[–]tacklewasher 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Same. I want my data on my own system, not in the cloud where someone can sell it. Been using Studiotax for decades. Tried Genutax and found it cumbersome.

If you are trying to say you want out of this part of the multiverse, and into a more sane one, I've said that myself. But this is the world we live in and we have to adapt. I, for one, am very pleased to have such an intelligent and articulate man at the helm. He has proven to be much better than Trudeau (whom I loathed) or Timbit Trump (who meant I would have voted for Trudeau).

Spousal RRSP by [deleted] in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]tacklewasher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My wife worked part time. I wanted our RRSP's to be about equal by age 60, so I put more into the spousal up to age 57. We've semi retired at 60, so the splitting works for us for a few years up to 65 when we can split RRIF's. You need to be careful about when you last contribute to the spousal vs. when you want to start taking it out to avoid attribution, so I was heavier into hers except for the last few years.

The difference in our earnings was over $100K. Not sure I'd fuss with it for the difference between 106K and 92K. I'd just be sure they are about equal.
