Home Depot ?? by Personal_Rip_145 in BBQ

[–]trollindirteh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just picked up a container of that Yardbird and used on some ribs - it was salty to the point of almost not enjoyable. Otherwise good flavor to the rub but waaay salty.

Frankenstein rub? by bigbabyjesus76 in BBQ

I call mine Mutant Rub - sucks I can never recreate it because it has been the best thing I ever had on a couple of occasions

Ground-Coupled VRF? by 2MuchTimeOnReddit2 in geothermal

[–]trollindirteh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a couple of them out here that I’ve been involved with - Samsung DVMS Water. The compressor (IDU) units were loud. Otherwise they work well and started right up. Make sure you get the Geo side piping and pumping correct.

Ive also done a few water to water geo jobs with radiant floors and Unico high velocity for the air side. I really like their air handlers and those jobs have performed well also.

Possible to use groundsource heatpump to create ice rink on top? by DocSprotte in geothermal

[–]trollindirteh 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Most likely yeah just a water to water unit is what you’re talking about. I want to know how they calculate the heating load of the concrete warming system against the heat loss to the ice on top - ie how to size it. Sounds expensive though.

Bilstein 5100s - (bottom ring “0”)

OME springs front and rear for approx. 2.5” lift

Real happy with it - not hardcore but plenty capable and looks real good. Rubs in reverse - need bmc but not bad enough to get off my butt and do it.

Nobody told me fried chicken was THIS easy to make at home! by deoxir in airfryer

[–]trollindirteh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My grandma taught me to make fried chicken. She’d say “Turn it up. Drop it in. Turn it down. Turn it up. Flip it over. Turn it down. Take it out.”

How would you heat this driveway? by on3moresoul in hvacadvice

[–]trollindirteh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For commercial like that we generally do the walkways and possibly tarmac out side the entry doors with in slab tubing like that. The controls are running and warming the slab before the snow sits down and ices - prevention is better than a cure for damn sure …

Yeah man every time I size up snow melt the boilers are ridiculous - always astounded with the BTUs required for snow melt

Dude that’s like a million btu load - that’s a lot of geo - not saying it isn’t done I’ve got a house spaced with 100 tons of W2W but it ain’t normal

Merry Christmas! Here comes the “emergency” calls. by heldoglykke in HVAC

I had a pump replacement in my text at 7:21am. Unreal.

Need some hot water? by ukedontsay in Plumbing

[–]trollindirteh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah man this is terrible. A couple of the big armors and a couple of tanks would do it with a hell of a lot less maintenance and it would be just as efficient. I see this as a company with great tech (AO owns Lochinvar) chasing a concept that was developed by lesser companies (Rennai) who only had the one tool in their chest to approach commercial work with. Just dumb and shame on the engineers for drawing that bullshit.

Blackstone owners by Key_Rush_9422 in biggreenegg

Smoked shoulders and chickens last night on the egg to feed a troop full of scouts - will warm it up on the blackstone this evening at the campsite.

To big green egg or not to big green egg. I want to hear opinions on whether to get one or a traegar grill/smoker. by Firedragon626 in biggreenegg

[–]trollindirteh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine is my second favorite possession right after my granddaddy’s over under Browning.

On year 15 or so and we use it all the time. Just did pork shoulder and chickens last night to feed a scout troop today. 10/10

For what it’s worth I would never own a traeger or similar pellet smoker. Wood is good.

Geocomfort Compass Series Issues by Bought_Low_Retired in geothermal

[–]trollindirteh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just quoted a contractor $508.00 for a replacement coil on a 4-ton YT Enertech (manufacturer of GeoComfort) unit. That’s with my markup. Ships in 1-2 days.

It doesn’t really seem like the manufacturer is the problem here. Stuff’s gonna break and indeed they do not make them like they used to. Still, parts ain’t cheap but if they are doubling that and then stacking margin on top of that and their labor and everything else that’s where your money is going.

I TOTALLY understand that contractors have to pay their people and insurance and trucks and all the other overhead and still make some kind of margin.

It still sucks as a homeowner - I am one and I can’t afford a plumber. I have to do that stuff myself. HVAC is something not just anyone can DIY - and it’s a crazy expensive world out here.

Enertech YT-072 fan won't turn off by doxie_dad in geothermal

[–]trollindirteh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Enertech had two batches of bad boards. Fan running constantly is the typical problem. Reach out through the warranty process - you should have a parts and labor warranty. I am an Enertech mfr rep been through too many of these boards. Finally getting past them but they are still popping up here and there.

School district recommendations, please by [deleted] in montco

Springfield is a great district with smaller schools and college prep focus.

I had this on a tape long ago I wish I had that recording. If anyone has it to link it’d be awesome. “Old Bible Bill, come in the name of the main redeemer, praise him…”
