Re: Electric Smoker

I bought a used electric smoker locally and it is missing the wood chip holder, plus the heating element has failed. I took a gamble buying it, so it looks like I am out of luck. Anyway, it is one of the Masterbuilt ones there seem to be millions of. I the model number is 20070910. What I am asking...

Re: Just bought a new (to me) home

I realize all areas are different, and incomes vary a ton across states or cities. I looked up the most expensive house I can find in my area, and this is what I got] The cost of living situation is very much the same here in Middle TN where I live. http://www.zillow.com/homedetails/3737-Lascassas-...

Re: its just amazing to me how many dr's are still think pot

I agree smoking anything is bad. I vaporize it. You heat air up and pass it through it which vaporizes the THC with out burning anything. You end up with a steam-like THC vapor with out any of the bad/burned parts. THC vapes at around 180*F. Drawing air into your lungs at that temp isn't good for t...

Correct. Two 3" ports should have as much area as one 4.125" port.

I have experience with both Snap-on and Cornwell. They are both pricey, but you get what you pay for. Just keep them on a chain so nobody "borrows" them.

Re: n00b here.

The R line doesn't really get the love around here because most of this group either runs vintage or high end gear, but it really is great stuff for its price point. Don't be to quick to say that. Alot of the guys (myself included) use Xenon and RSD gear. But I guess it really depends on your defin...

Re: What causes 'thermal' faults?

The most common cause of dead amplifiers is a clipped signal. Second I would think is not giving it enough wattage to produce the power you're asking for.

Re: Monday is over @ E3 thought on xbox one or PS4?

Right now not to often honestly. But, I can see myself going back and playing the ps3 and 360 a lot. That's my rub.:cry: I understand, and I thought the same thing too when I bought my 360. I figured I'd be replaying my PS2 games as often as I played new 360 ones. But since I was a second generatio...

Re: Monday is over @ E3 thought on xbox one or PS4?

Right on. I think I played ME2 about 5 different times through.

But seriously, how often do you go back and play a game from the previous generation? Other than KOTOR?

Re: Monday is over @ E3 thought on xbox one or PS4?

See, I don't get the backwards compatability problem. Just keep your old systems, it's like you can get THAT much money selling them on. I know it's inconvenient to have a old system taking up space, but how often do you go back and play PS2 games?

I own a 360 that I bought brand new back at the end of 2008, never had a single problem with it. Still play it to this day. Anyways, the XB1 restrictions are awful. My brother and I share every game we buy. With the restriction to "lend" the game once and only once we will be fine. But onc...
