The cooking oil gets atomized, and stinks up the house.

I have a 850CFM range hood

This is a stock pic, and I think it's a newer iteration, but the one I got from the consignment shop appears functionally equal, and perhaps even better due to more metal. These are great pumps. I use one for my line launcher, and I wanted one to keep in the truck for flats. To say I've had bad luck with electric vehicle pumps would be an understatement. They've all been absolute junk. Hand pumping sucks, but it works. The one I got is in new condition, and was only $10. It's worth about $70.

I need a new shop vac and wanted to get a cordless one. Started to look around and was working on cleaning up the birdseed under the bird feeder.



Saw this at Home Depot and thought it would be perfect for cleaning up the bird seed, and should do well as a portable shop vac.

I got a homedepot branded thing similar to that from the consignment shop. I haven't used it a lot, but it's perfect for my purposes. Small, and relatively portable. Mine has a cord, but I don't think I need to take it far from an outlet.

I am lazy so I am trying to get away from using corded tools if possible.

Plus I have a large yard and it would take many extension cords to reach parts of my yard.

A sign that reads nature preservation area would save you so much work.

KETL Mtn Nofry Hoodie - I've been a diehard ExOffocio button down user but sun-hoodies have been all the rage the past few years and this one combines the added ventilation with the sun-protection I want.

Have you worn stuff like this before? Is it suitable for heavy work?

Suitable for multi-day backpacking trips across the Sierras is my intended use. I'm usually in nylon/poly button down collared shirts with built in ventilation - love my ExOfficio's but they stopped making them, hate the Mtn. Hardwear Canyon.

Picked up a Camp Chef Woodwind Pro 24 last week. Got $100 off for members' week at Lowe's and had ~$1k in Lowe's gift cards from work. Super excited.

The biggest differentiation between the WW PRO and other pellet grill is the smoke box. There's a box in the middle, just above the fire, that can be filled with wood chunks/chips to add more smoke flavor. Based on what I've seen, this DRASTICALLY diminishes that gap between the kind of BBQ you can get out of an offset vs a pellet smoker. It should be arriving Friday -- will report back on my first cook.

This thing fucks. Photos attached.

My first cookie was a 7lb pork butt - seasoned with salt and pepper, cooked at 275F with oak pellets and apple chunks. Spritzed with apple cider vinegar after 5hrs then wrapped in foil. Cook for another 2-3 hours until and internal temp of 205F. Rested it for an hour and the bone just slid right out. I'm extremely impressed with the bark development I got off this thing - that's generally a shortcoming with pellet smokers. Keeping the smokebox fed with chunks of wood is a massive difference maker with this unit.

 

[JM Aggie08]

The only thing I'd change is keeping closer tabs on the smokebox/keeping it fed and making my black pepper a touch finer.

Served it with homemade slaw, pickles, potato rolls, and a vinegar-based bbq sauce. We have a metric shit-ton of leftovers.

I wish I'd kept my 50+1 Sony CD carousel but this will do the job.

I hate the BS peak horse power ratings they use these days. You might get that 6.5 HP for half a second, but there is no way to get anywhere close to that on 120v residential wiring.
