    ATK take on Charcoal

    I think they're a bit out of their league with grilling and BBQ in general. I watched a gas grill comparison they did a few years ago...underwhelming. More useful information in 2 pages of posts on this forum than their entire video.

    No new Weber product brochures for 2024?

    Could be that they're just going out with product overview videos on social media, although that deprives brick and mortar retailers adequate sales tools.

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

    I'm not chasing you for the Made in America thing. Many of us believe that having American made products...real and for 100%, not "assembled in" or "designed and developed in" but actually and honestly made in the USA, would be our first and only choice for every consumer item. But in the real...

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

    Yeah, lose that fear of China or Mexico or spend your life looking on Craigslist for old stuff that may or may not work. Quite frankly, the entire " you're somehow less of a patriot because you refuse to buy Chinese manufacturing" is flat out idiotic and pure BS at ground level. Get real...

    WSK comparo update video

    I believe you are spot on about this. He's definitely a schill for KJ. There are/were several of them on YT doing pretty much the same thing. It's one of the reasons I dropped Man Cave Meals. Became more about the product and accessories than the food.

    Blomberg/Becko gas range no burner spark

    So I got lucky with the service guy coming out 2 hours after I called, ordered a new igniter plug...$13...and it turns out, there is an ignition switch built into each valve and that part is backordered but I found a set of 4 on eBay pretty much the same price as the back ordered one...$40...

    Blomberg/Becko gas range no burner spark

    No. The pan didn't melt. The nonstick was of course shot. All the other burners spark and the problem burner sparks every time any other burner knob is turned but doesn't spark every time I turn that knob.

    Blomberg/Becko gas range no burner spark

    We've had this Blomberg bgrp34520ss gas range for a bit over 3 years. It's been a good stove thus far. Someone in the house brushed up against the burner knob unknowingly lighting the burner which had a Calphalon nonstick 5qt saute pan on it. It burned for 2-3 days as we were at our beach house...

    Memorial Day sales

    Lobsters are $10/lb. at ShopRite this week. We boiled two 1.5 pounders last night. Excellent.

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

    Probably not a bad idea to have a cooler and bag of ice on hand.

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

    If appliance manufacturers honestly wanted you to maintain the device correctly, they would have made cleaning the coils way easier. The old planned obsolescence model.

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

    We didn't like the bottom freezer on the French door...a giant drawer where you had to dig through everything on top and bend way down looking for things. Side x side it's all pretty much right in front of you. Ice and water through the door is a must for us too.

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

    We had a Kitchen Aid French door in our previous home. It was their top of the line model with the red inserts in the handles. We didn't have any problems with it but we only had 4 years before we moved and I've read that model is plagued with problems. It had a lot of mostly useless features...

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

    Google LG linear compressor class actions...yes more than one. They're still selling the same design. We had a less than 2 years old side xside LG when we moved into our current home 4 years ago. It failed 3 months after we moved in. We replaced it with the same model Whirlpool side x side we...

    Coffee Beans what's in your grinder ???

    I might be wrong on the House Blend being oily. Might have confused them with the Peet's Major Dickasons...which are definitely oily. Cleaned the brew unit and turned the Gaggia off yesterday. We packed up and left the beach house a day early. MDW crowd is overload. It calms down for the...

    Coffee Beans what's in your grinder ???

    I think the Kirkland Signature House Blend is an all around winner...It's great in the Moccamasters as a drip brew. Have yet to try it in the new Gaggia Brera, but it doesn't look oily so I'll give it a shot. I think it and their Colombian Supremo are flat out, consistent winners.

    Coffee Beans what's in your grinder ???

    Back to it's home at the beach in time for MDW and working great. I'm really liking this machine. Using a blend of Wegmans and Fresh Market Espresso roast beans. Cannot use oily beans in superautomatics as a rule. I've started a routine of having an espresso while the Moccamaster brews a pot of...

    Coffee Beans what's in your grinder ???

    Yeah but it's not as exotic sounding as Sumatra.

    Coffee Beans what's in your grinder ???

    Well this machine has been idle for a week while I tried to get it going with tech support from Whole Latte Love. Their tech support is outstanding! I got it stuck in mid descaling mode. Restarted descaling mode and the cycle completed. Back on track!!
