    You've had an electric water heater explode and level your house?? I find that unlikely in the extreme.

    Electric water heaters will never go KA-BOOM.

    What in the Sweet Baby Jesus is going on? Meat prices.

    We just stopped at Walmart and their Honeycrisp was $1.77/lb.

    Not meat, but 2 weeks ago Kroger Honeycrisp apples were $5/lb. Yesterday they are $8/lb. Highway robbery.

    You know, I ain't the greatest at math but: 3.5% loss per 1000 feet times 8,200 feet equals 28.7%.

    15 year old Generac not running...replace?

    If it was me (and I'm an old-school mechanic from the 70's) and I had the money, I would replace it. The thing isn't going to do you any good if it won't run when needed.

    Didn't know this was internal, non-adjustable.

    When they replaced this regulator, what pressure did they set it to? Did they try adjusting it way down so the engine would run?

    Ah, so it's almost like it's flooded (to coin a gasoline term).

    OK, try this: Squirt some starting fluid in and crank the motor. When it sputters, spray in a little more. Keep doing that for a couple of minutes (if possible). Obviously you want to keep the squirt time small. If this works, then slam the choke closed as the motor speeds up. Then open and...

    You say "It doesn't start" (or words to that effect). There are a couple of things to consider and/or verify: Does it crank over when you try to manually start it? If it does crank over, squirt about 1/2 second of standard starting fluid in the air intake. Did anything happen? If you did hear...

    I said ribs because he doesn't have to devote 15 hours of brine time and 15 hours of cooking time for his first go-around. Open the ribs, sprinkle with Natures Seasoning or just salt and pepper and throw them on the grill for 4-6 hours. Done. Then, when he falls in love with the ribs, do the...

    I'm a first time pellet smoker. -hoping to learn

    If it was me, I would buy a small rack of ribs and cook them between 225 to 250 for around 4-6 hours. There are plenty of threads discussing how to cook ribs. I say ribs because they are actually one of the easiest things to cook. Even if you screw up, they still taste pretty good. Oh, and...

    Older Scope mount help!

    I would try using a small soldering iron tip that is flat on the bottom and is no larger than the head of the screws. Gently heat them several times, letting them cool down in between heating. The idea is to weaken the Loctite with the thermal expansion / contraction. Make sure you use a...
