Eric - TIA

Awesome, thanks for the update. If you remember, once you use it, if you can let me know your thoughts. I am a huge fan of Ego but I don't have much experience with the commercial side so just curious as to how it performs.

Is the power or run time a lot different between gen 1 and 2?

Sounds good. Never fried a turkey but everyone I talk to says it's a must. I smoked a Turkey the other day. I ended up getting busy so never basted it or covered it. Cooked it at 225 for a couple of hours and then 300 for a couple of hours. In the end it was surprisingly juicy and tasted great. Only could imagine if I did it the right way with basting.

LOL, well today is the day. Going to try and smoke it today with a slow cook and then turn the heat up for the last 3 hours. I have seen some people cover the turkey in the last part and some say do not. I am trying it where I do not cover the Turkey for the last part of cooking. I am afraid it will be dry but let's see.

This is an interesting post. VNever thought about how we use a thinner paint

I have the Makita and I have three short rails I use. If I am doing a bunch of long cuts in nice wood, I will connect them. I have to admit, I am a little lazy and sometimes even use the short track to cut long pieces. Once I mark everything out, I make my first cut, I have to stop and adjust the track to the new position. In the end, it still produces a clean straight cut. I know this isn't what you are supposed to do but my point is, using the track, getting a straight clean cut is extremely easy. When I have two tracks together, there is no overlap and the track is pretty much edge-to-edge. I am still able to rip 8' cuts clean and simple. Overall if you are only cutting on occasional longer pieces, moving the track is easy and fast and produces a great cut. Yes, if you plan on cutting long cuts all the time, go with the longer track. I am just not sure the best way to store them so they do not warp over time.

Great question. I have the Makita system. I had mine for so long, I really do not remember if I had to make the adjustments. If I did, the good news is even years later, it still holds true.

I bought a couple from Amazon that were both stainless and brass. MIne had an arbor on it thought. It was a 4"

I have never even seen that in the US. Looks cool and I would grab one if around.

Wish I could help, but I do not have any experience with metal roofs. However, I do want one.

I am going to try and smoke a turkey. Do you have any recipes or any tips and tricks?

We have some of the boxes and I have to say so far they are great, they really surprised. Overall the boxes seem rugged and tough. I like the single lever open and lock. The latch is big so you not fumbling around. Not sure but the boxes seem bigger than the Milwaukee. Attaching them together is extremely easy, maybe even easier than the Milwaukee. Once they are locked, they seem to hold together well. Unlocking them is just a lever and you can pull up. So far very impressive.

Those are very cool. I bought customized coins through Etsy. My buddy was into crypto and found someone who made a coin for him. I am sure if you look around there, someone can make it.

Sweet, sounds like a good feast. I am sure I asked this about your Blackstone but forgot. Does your top lay flat? When i got mine, it was warped. I called them and said it was common, which seemed weird. They said that after 7 times of using it, it will lay flat. While they were right, there are times when the bend will come back which is annoying when trying to cook.

LOL, I hope we can still say that, but probably not for much longer. That's awesome you have that by you for training. I know we have some stuff by us. I am just in a catch 22. I need to do this with my 15 yr old but finding the time and money is hard, but I need to get my kids out there and be trained.

Look like great boxes. Husky has some good stuff and the prices isn't extreme.

I don't use those meters much but Fluke is one of the best. I see so many people use them. As with yours, it's amazing how old some of them are. Nowadays, everything is disposable so it's nice to see some things last.

That's crazy but good to know there are communities out there like for different projects.

That's an insane price, but it's great for you. I am surprised no one on a Porsche forum knows either. That is weird. When you look up German screwdrivers, the list goes on and on. You even find a bunch of small brands.

nice buy on both the car and the tools. Wera is awesome. I haven't used them much but from the ones we have tried here, they are great.

Looks pretty cool. Amazing how these are getting more common. I never realized how much you can do with these.

Yes, agree 100%, I love the pellet grill and it's so easy. I also have a center smoker. It's awesome but you have to attend to it, it's not a set-and-forget.

Yes, it would be hard to get rid of those items, and think it would be very cool to have them around for the kids and grandkids. All that stuff would be hard to part with and don't think I would. It's like my FD stuff, I keep it since I retired, not sure why except it has some memories and I know that was mine stuff I wore. I just have to get over the hump of getting rid of stuff I do not need like 20 fishing rods. I only need a couple, it's stuff like that.

OK, I can see what I can find out about the directions or anything. Just not familiar with that unit.

Before you mess around with that, have you tried using different gas, new, fresh gas, or even TruFuel? When we talk with OPE manufacturers, they always tell us that 90% of the reasons these small engines stall or have issues are because of bad or old gas. Fuel doesn't last as long as it used to, which was news to me when I first heard that.
