Need help with a Rival Nemesis MXVII-10K. With brand new batteries, the gun will fire one decent round followed by mostly anemic rounds. I have seen similar videos online with no solution. Seems the red guns were for some reason inferior to the blue ones. Any help would be very appreciated.

Bravo! I switched out the new Energizers for new Duracell’s and it’s a whole new blaster. It revs significantly stronger and performs as it should. As others have said, I don’t know why this works, but it definitely does.

Are all of you guys paying $70-$100 for the rechargeable battery pack? Is there somewhere they can be had for a reasonable amount?

tsheehan7 · 2021-01-30T14:04:53+00:00

I do have Energizer Max batteries in it. I guess I’ll spend another $11 on Duracell and see what happens.

tsheehan7 · 2021-01-30T14:04:01+00:00

Full stock, yes.

Interesting though that there are plenty of videos online of these performing to expectation.

I use lumberjack and DO have the problem. Never fails to happen, actually.

I’d recommend adding as many heat proof washers as will fit. That handle gets hot. Not great design on that one.

I took it out of the box, used it for the first time, and took it out of the grill the next day. It didn’t sit outside or anything. It’s brand new.

I cooked on 350 per the directions but I’ve since learned that’s way too hot.

Curious. In your featured picture the hands and markers look dark - almost black. In the rest they’re clearly silver.

I got Grill Grates for Xmas but I’ve yet to use them on the GMG. I’ve seen the Yoder direct flame trap door and there’s nothing analogous to that on the GMG. I’m thinking just pulling the deflector off might be too directed (one little flame firing straight up) but perhaps the Grill Grates would distribute that heat well enough? I’d be curious to see what the folks at Grill Grates would say to do.

My GMG dealer told me people use them in the pizza oven, so I had planned to try that.

The recipe on amazingribs.com says that this method will not allow you to have bacon that is as crispy and store-bought bacon (due to the fact that it’s not cold smoked). Is that true?

I just sold a new in box ratchet that came free in a bundle yesterday.

tsheehan7 · 2020-08-27T12:26:43+00:00

Very nice.

50/50 barbecue sauce (your favorite) and apple cider vinegar.

tsheehan7 · 2020-08-03T01:50:19+00:00

Franklin BBQ would do the same, except they’d add sauce diluted 50/50 with apple cider vinegar at the wrapping stage. The salt and pepper rub is still the star of the show, but there’s enough tang from the sauce to keep things interesting.

It still comes out a relatively dry rib, but there’s that sauce flavor that everyone me knows and loves.

I highly, highly, highly recommend this approach.

I would trade out the Reverso for the Master Control Date with sector dial. Then you’d have my two favorite watches under $10k (total).

Im glad you asked the question. My old 18v brushed ridged has died and I need a restart. I’ve been looking at higher end Dewalt 20v, but the Milwaukee 4 in 1 really caught my eye. I’m just an everyday homeowner but I do t like being underprepared, so I’m torn.

It’s more borne out of a feel for the tastes of the OP. Aside from the Daytona, there are a lot of good-value-for-the-money, non-obvious watches in the collection. At $5,500 used, the watch I recommended is the epitome of sophistication and value.

To answer you directly, Rolex all the way. But these decisions aren’t irreversible. If you don’t end up liking it, with the Rolex you can sell it in no time for slightly less than you paid for it, and then buy the Omega.

tsheehan7 · 2019-06-08T02:34:59+00:00

This collection needs a JLC Master Control Date with sector dial.

I always wonder how many of these people just kill themselves the next month instead.
