J: Welcome to the forum. You'll find plenty of people willing to help you here. It sounds like you may have found the go to guy for fabricating bars and grates. Rust on flavor bars is not uncommon unless they were stainless to begin with. If there are no holes, they do their job. Just need...

Wish we had known about that place on our 1 day trip into Phoenix. Would have hit there before we picked up our new pet. Sure would have been a lot better than McDonalds in Wickenberg!

I doubt that there are any warnings. I am dubious of any 10 year battery in a SD lasting that long. That might be the perfect battery under simulated conditions instead of real world environments. Using the test button does a couple of things. It checks the functionality of the detector to...

J: I don't anymore since I retired in 2007. Everyone was hot to trot for the spray smoke for real estate compliance inspections for transfer of ownership. Easier to do with high ceilings, etc. than button pushing. Almost as quickly as it became popular, fire marshalls in RI recommended...

Don't use spray test smoke! Use the button. The spray actually accumulates in the detector making it less sensitive.

Smoke detectors are almost like cooking on grills. Placed in the wrong location they are totally ineffective in notifying occupants to get out. Down side on battery detectors are people mounting them in dead space corners between walls and ceilings, removing batteries due to false alarms (I...

If you actually get 10 years out of smoke detectors your are doing well. They are supposed to be cleaned and tested frequently per the manufacturer's instructions. Very few people do. I'd be more concerned going into fall/winter about CO detectors which seem more sensitive. You usually can...

I forgot to list my wristwatch. I actually changed that Saturday evening early just in case.

Kitchen clock, microwave, stove, coffee pot, 2 thermostats, 2 bedroom clocks, 2 cars, cordless phone system, sprinkler timer, Garmin in one car. Ipads, PC's, phones, TiVos all did it automatically.

What a shame. we need independent businesses to do well. Hopefully, the insurance will do right by them instead of pinching every penny. If I was living in the area, I'd definitely make a trip to support them.

Has your new grilling station have enough ventilation below the grill to let it breathe properly? Even enclosed base Weber gas grills have plenty of ventilation from below.

You got a great deal for a very good grill!. Right now you only need some cleaning supplies for the enamel surfaces, a wire brush, and a couple of putty knives (one metal & one plastic). Put a tank on and crank the burners up full for about 30 minutes. Then clean the inside of the lid with...

There have been plenty of posts about flavorizer bars on the forums. When to replace, what to replace them with, how to maintain them. From the "What Me Worry" aspect unless they have holes in them not from manufacturing, do they even need replacement? We've got two 2007 Genesis grills still...

I had been looking at HF before the Covid. That was before the wife went even more 50's kitchen with a Dishmaster faucet. We have a RO faucet which our cats hang around by even though they have two fountains filled with RO water. HF isn't happening at our house! I have a HF soap dispenser...

Larry: If it is like the dilations the do on me looking for cataracts and more floaters from a previous bleed, tomorrow your eyes will feel like someone kicked sand in them. For everything to settle back to normal it usually takes me 2 days (the day of the dilation and high intensity light plus...

I got a set for Christmas two years ago and still have not tried them for no particular reason. Jon Tofte uses them and really likes them.

One time I had a free promo ceramic mug from a fire truck manufacturer from Florida. It had the right heft to keep coffee warm and felt comfortable feel with the handle. Unfortunately, it vibrated off a fire truck I was working on an broke the handle off. I kept using it for about a decade...

I think Ed may have nailed it too. The label should be on the side of the drip pan holder. Another easy check are 3 differences between NG and LP grills in the era. If the bottom panel is solid, it is a NG grill, if it has the round cutout and a tank scale, it is a LP. If it is LP, it will...

I personally would not. Most of what messes them up are not the threads or nuts, it's the bolt heads inside the firebox. I don't take them all the way out when I do it. I back the nut off to protect the threads and hit it with a hammer. The bolts break free pretty easily if you do it...

That might be fine for the threads, but I don't really want never seize inside the firebox. That's why I do the PM annually.
