The connection isn’t to the probe. It is to the charging base then to the probe. You may need to leave the charging base next to the grill/smoker. The lid reduces the range from the probe to the base. Most of the time I put the base inside the kitchen which is 15ft from my SS Performer. Last...

BTW, that package also includes an instant-read thermometer as well.

My latest 22” 2012 Performer is named Willy. Because he is black like the orca, and was free… and I freed it from a potential landfill visit. The rest: Fireball, Fireball Jr, Green Machine, Doc Brown, Smokey the Weber, Jake Sully, Walgreen, JJ, Hot Dog Cooker, The Green Gasser.

I lost my Thermopop after Thanksgiving for a couple weeks. Ended up it was outside and we had rain and snow during that time. Got moisture under the display cover. That cleared up and it still works. Bought two… one replacement/extra and one for a gift.

We had a Bosch and it was super quiet but didn’t clean well. Unfortunately it just kept breaking and only lasted 6 years which was disappointing based on reviews. Ended up replacing it with a Samsung DW80R9950US. It is the best dishwasher I’ve ever owned. Quieter than our Bosch. The top rack for...

Wow! Just placed an order with free delivery. Now I wait and see if HD cancels the order since my local price is $17.88.

You can add a inexpensive device to your current garage door to make it ‘Smart’. I added the MEROSS Smart Garage Door Opener to my 16 year old opener. Works great and easy to install.

10 bags just shipped tonight! The lady on the phone wasn’t going to do the price match because True Value doesn’t ship to homes. I asked about the ‘ship to store’ option since TV and Home Depot both have that available. She paused. Checked on some rules and decided to give me the price match. As...

They are headed over to the new HBOMAX service launching next week.

Dillons in Kansas has the same coupon.

Thanks for the review. I was curious about that package but decided to pass. Next time at Sam's Club just ask the butcher for a couple whole tri-tips.

Our Sam's Club sells tri-tip but they are always sliced them into strips. I just ask the butcher to give me a few whole ones and they trim them up for me as well.

I stay at a Towneplace Suites all the time when traveling for business and often think about just grilling up my own steak on the provided grill instead of going out to eat. Might start doing this!

My daughters had the same burger experience in Chicago last year. We just got back from Chicago last week and we ate at the restaurant twice. First time we ordered steaks and the meal was amazing! Second time up was BBQ ribs and brisket. No one enjoyed the meal. What a let down. I've always...

So the grill is named 'Green Machine' and he has been blown down those concrete stairs twice over the years because of thunderstorms and high wind. Weber makes some good stuff but the way the top frame attaches to the legs is a weak spot... especially after 17 years of internal rust slowly...
