    Worth restoring??

    Good point(s). Might be better off looking for something solid on FBMP.

    Worth restoring??

    I suspect those flavorizers are worse than the depicted. It's not so expensive to throw stainless flavorizers in and sometimes the grates and flavorizers are a decent package deal. Also need to see pics of the grease trap.

    Pool Pump longevity

    Back in business. Clean installation which included cutting out the feed line leftover from that stupid Hayward chlorinator. Much more quiet than the old one. $1065 installed with the additional plumbing. Fair price to me.

    Coffee Beans what's in your grinder ???

    I only saw a scan of the Peet's on sale on Slickdeals...$16-$5....so perhaps it's a regional thing. What you posted here looks interesting though. Don't think I've seen it before here in PA.

    Coffee Beans what's in your grinder ???

    I'm pretty sure whole bean coffee varieties are a regional distribution thing for Costco.

    How often do you clean the exterior of your smoker?

    $20 with tax is steep for a pack of wipes when you can buy a gallon of Zep All Purpose cleaner for $9 and a 15 pack of microfiber cloths for $10 and wash as needed.

    Coffee Beans what's in your grinder ???

    Look to see if that Costco has Peet's Major Dickasons on sale for $12-13. You won't be disappointed.

    Coffee Beans what's in your grinder ???

    I replaced the funnel shaped grommet with the newer, smaller 0 ring style one. Big difference with zero retention. At $6/lb. the Major Dickasons is hard to beat. Too oily for my little Gaggia Brera though.

    Coffee Beans what's in your grinder ???

    Good point about the quiet part. The Baratza Encore is flat out loud. Doesn't really matter so much because it's just my wife and I and the 2 dogs and the master bedroom is pretty far away from the kitchen. It's slow though. A dosing or timing feature doesn't matter to me. I grind the same...

    Fridge getting old.......REALLY old

    I don't know who Costco contracts with for large item delivery service or if it's a nationwide contract or done regionally.

    Coffee Beans what's in your grinder ???

    I'm not so sure $139 is a screaming deal for a grinder. They are nice looking for a grinder though. I wonder who makes KA countertop appliances besides the mixers. I know Whirlpool owns a majority stake in a Chinese appliance manufacturer...something Sanyo. Just opened a new bag of the Kirkland...

    So you're saying it wasn't "White Glove" delivery??

    Costco burger differences

    Some of the Costco burgers are 1/3lb. which we find too big. I think they carry 1/4 lb ones too though. Have had the grass fed ones and they're good but again at 1/3lb a bit too much.

    Pool Pump longevity

    I plug the charger into the top of the robot in an outdoor outlet 10' from the pool. I don't sit there and watch it charge. I do empty and rinse the screen and debris collection bin with the hose.. I don't brush the sides because there's nothing to brush. Sometimes I'll brush the steps or...

    Coffee Beans what's in your grinder ???

    How much for the Kitchen Aid? The Baratza is LOUD and slow. But slow is supposed to be good as it's not overheating the beans during grinding. The Delonghi at the beach house is quiet and fast...little more static but I bought one of those silicone bellows so I'm getting all grounds out no...

    Coffee Beans what's in your grinder ???

    I thought that straight drop down design would be cleaner and more efficient when I bought this one last summer. Mueller Ultra-Grind Conical Burr Grinder Professional Series, Innovative Detachable PowderBlock Grinding Chamber for Easy Cleaning and 40mm Hardened Gears for Long Life...

    This. I watched several of his videos and the constant hawking of KJ and those dumb KJ, overpriced accessories...I hit the "Don't Recommend Channel" .

    Pool Pump longevity

    Exactly the kind of time eating tasks to maintain the thing that I got tired of.
