    garage door torsion spring

    Did you run around trying to find out what had collapsed, like I did the first time my spring broke? 😲 The second time (years later, different house) I recognized the loud rumbling noise and didn't panic.

    garage door torsion spring

    I believe you'll find that the spring is most tightly wound, and thus under the greatest tension, when the door is fully closed.

    Any reports on the “Spider Venom” ATC?

    After watching a couple of videos I am impressed. The build quality appears to be good, and the design makes it look as if it was an original part of the grill. If I was limited to only one grill I'd be tempted. Since I have a WSM for low-and-slow my kettles are only used for grilling, and I run...

    Texas Pete is being sued

    I'm in Lewisville, and people are smart enough to know that it is Lewisville, NC and not Lewisville, TX. I guess the plaintiffs will be suing another hot sauce maker pretty soon:

    Belt or Suspenders

    Belt. I have never worn suspenders. Also, since jeans were mentioned in a couple of posts, I haven't worn jeans in years. I find cargo pants more comfortable and more practical.

    I Found a Platypus!

    For a second there I thought that was the one I saw listed for $75 in Huntersville, NC. (No, I don't know if it is still available. )

    New Dog Pics - Post Pics Of Your Best Friend!

    He got a good mixture of genes, whatever the source. I think he's a right handsome fellow. He and his two brothers were all up for adoption at the same time, and my daughter got the pick of the litter, literally.

    what are you cooking for labor day weekend ?

    I cooked three times (different days) for 11 people this past week: one butt, 10 pounds of grilled chicken, and 10 t-bone steaks. So I will be eating leftovers on Labor Day, no cooking for me. My next cook will be ribs; my 7-year-old grandson said he wanted to try "ribs that are all hooked...

    Favorite "not so usual" pizza topping

    I stick to the basics: pepperoni, mushrooms, Italian sausage, green (or red or yellow) peppers, and onions, in various combinations. And mozzarella cheese.

    A few steaks

    Nearly all were medium-rare to medium, with a couple leaning toward medium-well. I didn't have time to cook to order. Everyone got their choice and I left it to the parents to choose the more cooked ones for the small children.

    A few steaks

    Tonight's menu for the family (children and grandchildren are visiting) was steak, baked potatoes, salad, and squash. I had never cooked 10 steaks at once, but it proved the fact that having two kettles can make a difficult task more manageable. Nobody had to wait for their steak while watching...

    Convert a 22 inch kettle to a drink cooler..

    One other potential consideration: weight. During cooking most of the volume of the kettle is full of air. Will the legs, and more importantly (in my opinion, without doing any math) the leg sockets support a full load of ice and drinks?
