    LEM Grinder broke?

    Thanks Dave! BTW, it took me a minute to figure out your pic there, I almost threw up. LOL. Took her apart and no broken gears. Reassembled and put some ice cubes in. Same deal. I think maybe the gears are just worn out and slip with the right amount of torque. Looks like parts available. I...

    LEM Grinder broke?

    LEM 575 Watt grinder- Think I may have broke internal parts. When I start up, sounds fine. Any load and crazy grinding noise, shaking and doesn't spin auger. The external teeth on auger and grinder look fine. Did I strip it out and break something inside? Is this fixable or is it shot?

    Juicy Lucy and Queso

    Yes. "Can Mushroom with Roasted Garlic(appreciate that tip to find this!)" does not indicate anything about being soup. 🤦‍♂️

    Juicy Lucy and Queso

    Thanks Ryan. Pretty simple, like me. LOL Thank ya! It was perfect consistency that was not runny nor too thick for chips. Mmm....queso... Thank you. Good, family level of spiciness. Thanks Chris. Donkey Chips are a tortilla chip. My favorite as they are a little thicker so they hold up well...

    Juicy Lucy and Queso

    Pulled the trigger on the Traeger- 1st Smoke

    Funny you say that as I read the same after I got the tray. I figured I can use the tray in my other smokers too for additional smoke and cold smoking. Will prob end up with a tube also. Smoking is habit forming. LOL. And ya end up buying new stuff all the time!

    Pulled the trigger on the Traeger- 1st Smoke

    Got the okay from the wife for a pellet grill/smoker. Looked around and got the Traeger Pro34. Bounced between this and the one with Wi-Fire. Couldn't justify the extra $300 and losing 100 sq inches. Ordered an Inkbird Wifi probe on Amazon for a Lightning deal. Got the AMZN Smoker 5x8 as I know...
