    Hexclad Pan Review, Real World Real Time - Lots of Pictures!

    Buy a nice 8" pan, try it out. If you're blown away then buy a set. If not, you're only out the expense of one pan

    Hexclad Pan Review, Real World Real Time - Lots of Pictures!

    To jump in here, I bought an 8" Anolon pan and a 2qt HC pan back in November to compare. Apples and oranges, but I learned something out of it. The Anolon pans only have the hybrid feature on the cooking surface with a nonstick surface on the rest of the pan and a polished bottom side. The HC...

    Fireboard to Masterbuilt cable

    I made my own back in 2021. Very easy to do. Or there's a bbq store online that sells premade cables. I don't remember the name.

    Harbor Freight IR gun ?

    I ordered the the TW gun a couple of days ago when I got the email from them. Fortuitously, as it turns out, our Harbor Freight gun got dunked in the sink full of water the night before and drowned.

    Master built 560 smoker/grill worse piece of equipment master built has made yet. They will ruin their reputation quickly.

    When I got my 560 4 years ago, I thought I was uptown. But as it went on, things you've mentioned started popping up. After six months, I replaced the froggy controller with a Fireboard which made the grill into what it should have been. Precise temps, flawless connectivity with my computer or...

    Bought a Hobart 2612 in good shape

    Let's see the ID tag on it. Sure doesn't look like a 1612 to me

    Any idea on how old this Hobart 1612 meat slicer is?

    I had a 1612 from 2015 to 2021. Built like a tank. Most used ones date back to late 60's to early 70's. Most of them for sale are gummed up around the index dial mechanism, and the gauge plate rods and need a good cleaning/lubing. The one I had was so bad I had to take a torch and rubber mallet...

    A-maze-n frustration

    So the OP is using a tray? I thought the tray was for wood chips, not pellets originally. That's what I was using on my trays way back when. Used to buy the chips from Todd as he had a large variety of wood chips. Later the tubes came out for pellets, which I'm still using with mostly Pit Boss...

    What to look at when buying used commercial Slicer - Globe

    It all depends on what you're slicing. Can your Chef's Choice slice up a 20"x12" slab of bacon? My over 40 year old Hobart 1712 can. I process over 250 lbs of pork bellies every month. A little Chef Choice slicer isn't up for that task. But I can also go and slice up some brick cheddar for a...

    What to look at when buying used commercial Slicer - Globe

    Most of the older slicers haven't had the best of care. Berkel and Hobart are usually not lubricated properly and the adjustment mechanism is gummed up. I've had to use a torch and a dead blow plastic hammer to loosen up the gauge plate rods. Best part is there's still a wealth of new old stock...

    What to look at when buying used commercial Slicer - Globe

    That's still kinda high for a used slicer. My first 1612 Hobart was $150. It burned up in my house fire. I bought a 1712 Hobart a couple years ago for $700. I also bought a Berkel for 250 but later sold it for the same price. Facebook Marketplace is good. Craigslist is another good resource...

    Torn between the vevor and avid armor

    Same here. I paid more, but I got the 16" Vacmaster 320 two years ago and haven't regretted it. I can do two 8" bags at once if needed
Great deal on LEM Grinders!
