    BBQ Guru help

    I would try a trial run with a chicken or something to get it dialed in. I think I would start with the top vent & the guru valve open and use the ball valve for controlling the air flow. With an insulated cabinet, I would think you would need very little air flow to hold a steady temp. Let us...

    Hydroponics Struggling

    The confusion comes from the way that it is measured. An EC of 1.2, is what most call 1200. So the EC should be between .08-1.2 for most applications. I start around 500 or .5 for seedlings. However you can use a higher EC with a stronger light. The strong light makes the plant use more...

    Do hammer drills work as advertised ?

    YES, a hammer drill is worth every penny, especially drilling into concrete. It will make your life much easier. You can drill 10 holes with a hammer drill in the time it takes to drill 1 hole with a regular drill!! Al

    Recteq 1250 with cold smoker box For sale $1000

    I I won’t replace it, I still have a couple of Weber kettles that I could use for a smoker, but as far as having a dedicated smoker, I’m pretty much done with that. Yes Brian, it is only 3 years old & very lightly used. Not smoking much anymore. I lost my taste & appetite & don’t enjoy...

    Recteq 1250 with cold smoker box For sale $1000

    I haven’t been smoking much lately & could use the extra space the Recteq is taking up. I don’t have any way of delivering it, so you would have to pick it up. I thought I would post it on here first, so maybe one of the members would be interested. It has only had about 300# of pellets run thru...

    Hydroponics Struggling

    I have been growing hydro in DWC buckets, using the GH Flora trio like JC. But I always start my plants in an AG then transfer to the DWC system. Hydro gets the best results, but it also gets the worst failures. I’ve gone to bed with beautiful plants & the next day they were dying. You have to...

    Hydroponics Struggling

    With little seedlings like yours, you need a lower EC. I would start out with an EC of around 500. When we start seeds we start with just PH’d non-chlorinated water. When they get about your size we add 5ml of A & B to 4 liters of water. Even for full grown flowering plants our EC never gets...

    Gas Prices???

    I use premium in our Mustang, and only use Shell. I filled up yesterday & it was below $4 a gallon. First time in a while it has been that low. Al

    LEM Big Bite 20lb Motorized Stuffer

    I remember when you bought that! The thought of making sausage with a foot pedal just seemed like the ultimate toy. Never made big batches so a motorized unit would be pretty impractical for me, and now I may make one 2 1/2 lb. batch of HIT a year. I’m surprised Indy hasn’t grabbed it, bet it...

    Nice job, the mozz looks perfect! Thank you for posting this, I have never had any luck with anything but whole milk. Didn’t know it wasn’t available in Canada.
