    nope, thats all I do, clean the grease tray (change the foil), vacuum the ash pot and the inside every 3-4 cooks, I keep it full of pellets 24/7/365, keep the grill covered.

    Water Heater: When to replace?

    Definitely leaning that way. Given we dont know the history I feel more inclined to get after it on our schedule rather than wait for that flood.

    Oh man the worst! I never used Facebook till I moved to the mtns and found out everyone uses it for actual important stuff. Like road conditions, closures etc. But with the good comes the bad and the fakes.

    Home Help. Is this weight bearing?

    Just to wrap up the door removal... I decided the drywall work was beyond my skills...drywall is something I am not good at. Gotten better but for a prominent obvious place like this, imperfections would stand out. Im paying a handyman to make it right and be done. The is also a place where...

    That! I was looking for some Uggs for my wife a few years back and only one site had a deal and it tickled my "wait a freakin minute" response. Googled the store name and BOOM: listed everywhere and a sell of fake knockoffs.

    Organizing Clutter

    If I havent touched or used in a year, its gone. Unless its some porting goods that are not used much but still used and wanted. I use stackable bins with labels on them to keep stuff organized. Mostly in the garage. When we moved 3+ years ago we purged about 4-5 truckloads. We found...

    Howdy from the Southeast

    Welcome to SMF from Colorado. I started with a WSM and learned a lot using it. Eventually switched to a pellet smoker, a Rec Teq. I have no issue with not getting enough smoke flavor. Ive had it for over a decade and it runs like new every time. The "fires" you speak of I assume are back...

    Yup, they get plenty of income from their % of the purchases on the zillions of cards they have. Keep the card holder happy = keep the card, buy more stuff, they got more $$.

    Which method do you use to pay monthly bills?

    CC are much safer too. Any issues and I just dispute the charge and they take care of it. They have always refunded the disputed charge. I bought a refer from a big box store and it was acting up, couldnt get the store or manufacturer to do anything. Disputed the charge=free refrigerator. I...

    Health Updates: Me and my Daughter

    All the prayers are so greatly appreciated. There are not words to thank everyone for the outpouring of support. I know many have been on a similar road and cant relate on many levels. Its just hard to accept and feel unable to change the course. Thanks again! Friends and family are top...

    Smoking to below FDA approved temps.

    This sums it up. Not to be nasty, but you asked for advice and you getting pretty consistent advice not to undercook your sausage. Ever had food poisoning? If not, the undercook plan might get you there sooner than later.

    Health Updates: Me and my Daughter

    The update I have been avoiding…I have been encourage to share…but its hard…so here goes. Right before Thanksgiving I was diagnosed with prostate cancer. So far its testing as non-metastatic. So it’s the continual monitoring, another biopsy and MRI later this year. See what changes. PSA is...

    Water Heater: When to replace?

    Same, our water comes from a huge tank above us, in the winter the cold water is painfully cold. Tankless cant make up for the differential. Some say a gas one would, but venting the exhaust poses another issue as the current location is nearly underground.

    Water Heater: When to replace?

    Interesting discussion for sure. I did a flush last year, not a lot of crud came out. Most appliances and such that came with the house were not cared for. So there is additional concern from that.
