It's one of those you don't know what you're missing until you have one tools.

Mines' going as we speak, I go through phases of extreme use where it feels to slow to sitting for a few weeks with nothing.

Okay, that's good to know, do you have a recommendation?

@@HouseDadLife The best budget printer for PLA pet g TPU and small ASA ABS parts is the AD5M, for a printer that you want to print mechanical parts and more exotic filaments the Q1 Pro hands down, The best starter printer is the A1 mini or combo or regular A1

I actually didn't like motion scenes until I went through the setup, now it's awesome, I don't watch any sports though, for me it was action movie scenes where the motion wasn't great on initial settings.

@@HouseDadLife put it on a soccer game or football and see if the ball disappears or if the players have blur and let me know because that will be a deciding factor me lol

Thanks a bunch for sharing, I'll definitely look into that before I end up buying another printer. I must say as of right now after all my end tweaking I'm pretty happy with it. But I don't think it is very beginner friendly.

yup I wish the A1 Mini was out when I got my first printer, the ender has been "fun" but such a headache at the same time

Glad you found something that works for you, happy grilling!

Oh nice, toys or diy for you?

@@HouseDadLife Both.

@ronm6585 very nice.

I'm very glad I started, it's filled the DIY gaps nothing else could. You think it's too late? I have a feeling it's just getting going.

@@HouseDadLife Just like a table saw or a lathe it's a toy used for solving problems. No time like the present on learning how to use it.

Yeah,.. hydroponic prices, sometimes I wonder what the markup is.

I hope it works well for you, that would be annoying.

I'm glad I could help! Welcome to the channel!

Good to know, thanks for the insight.

They could all be better, I agree, had some bugs in the room at the time of the vid.

You're welcome, most things work great when they're shiny and new, nice to know what holds up.

That's great to hear, welcome to the channel!

I would check it on a small corner of fabric just to be sure.

Tomato, tomatoe, does it matter? If it goes on the BBQ, it's BBQing to me. Grilling to me sounds like a George Foreman option or the stove top cast plate.

@@HouseDadLife lol George Foreman! Hahaha that's a good one. But... all joking aside, do you grill a steak or BBQ a steak when you cook it on a grill, either charcoal or wood.

Right, almost got em all, 1 to go!

I did read about peanut butter as a possible mix as well, good to hear it from someone else. How do you apply it? Just pour it on a well?

@@HouseDadLife I heavily dusted the hill and about 2 feet away from the hill all the way around. I made jelly bean sized peanut butter & borax balls . I used 6 per hill. It worked out well. I lightly dust around the perimeter of the house too.

That's great information, I'm sure you'll help a few people by sharing, I pinned the comment, thanks!

I just sprayed the last 1 today, hopefully I get it gone, good luck with yours.

I had to do a ton of research before building this thing, the conclusion I came to was a balancer was enough. These cells are just very stable temperature wise and chemistry wise. I've looked for a video where they start on fire, every other lithium cell becomes violent, not these guys. People have used them to replace lead acid in vehicles without even adding a balancer and that seems to work. Insane cell life, the only downside I've ever been able to find is they don't have the energy density of the other lithium chemistries. I still use this cell every 2 weeks or so, either running a battery backup, powering an inverter, or powering a spot welder, still works like the day I built it.

I haven't tried it but I doubt it.

@@HouseDadLife okay, I’ll try and let you know

Hey, there he is, I was just wondering where you were today, hope all is well and you have some time to enjoy the summer. As for the electricity, it's not getting cheaper here either.

I found the best results just following the instructions, some knives more, some less. I did play around a bit, the knives with the red handles in the video different degrees seemed to get just as sharp, but some edges held up longer, the ones where I did exactly what the instructions said. That's what I'm currently doing, hope that helps you, good luck.

@@HouseDadLife Hi, your advice certainly helps! ThnX! I'll gonna follow instructions to the letter, and see what result I get.

Good luck!

@@HouseDadLife Following instructions didn't render the desired result. And 'going back' from 16 to 20 degrees is something I can't really get my head round ;-) Doing 15 degrees gave me a sharp knife very rapidly.

@@TonAkveld1956 This is a great question. When changing angles on a knife, the first step can take much longer to change the factory edge, instead if you already have a sharp knife at 15 degrees, use it that way, then the night time you need to sharpen it change it a degree at a time instead of going right to 20. This will save you having to take off a bunch of metal, or just stay at 15 for that knife. Pay attention to the burr when sharpening, this took me the longest to figure out. Good luck with whichever you choose to do.

Black bars drive me nuts, but, morphing is so ugly I'd rather go that way. I can't stand looking at anything misshaped. I mean why the people making stuff don't just adopt and agree on a resolution to fit the display is a mystery to me. As far as this TV I haven't looked, I came to conclusion of "leave the native resolution" years ago.

WOOOOWW over 700lbs, made of used boat anchors? Thats nuts.

14 on 10 off.

I haven't had any issues with salt build up, but I'm sure you would in another media like coir. I stick with perlite or hydroton.

I wish I knew more electronically then I do, I know enough to just get started so I had no choice but to go kit. You're right wire cutters do have crimps, mine is just to small that's it. You should share what you've built! I'm sure there are quite a few people that would like a spot welder that doesn't cost a bunch.

At our last place our power was on the low end, when we moved not sure what happened, but we picked up a ton of always on leach devices. You made a good point though that I didn't think about, there might be users that don't have a bunch of devices leaking power, in which case you can't recoup the cost. Thanks for sharing your experience, and welcome here.

@@HouseDadLife Thanks! Yeah from videos I've watched we don't seem to be the average use case. But certainly still been useful, and a nice way to see how much power different appliances are using.

I used to use the maxi series and had good luck with it, this ones been a bit better overall.

Anytime Ron!

I wish I could give you a number, I honestly have no clue, it's enough that between 3 of us, we stop eating them because we get our fill. This works out well as I usually grow too much and put stuff in the freezer, spices, beans, peppers etc.

@@HouseDadLife thanks!

Anytime!

KZfaq TV, can't say I've even heard of it, I'll have to look.

You're not wrong, the maintenance is lacking, I've never had a bbq actually last even when stored indoors for the winter, I'll have to look into what I should be doing that I'm not.

Very nice to hear, I never did brisket before this thing either, and i've also gotta say, it's a great brisket here as well, enjoy the grilling!

There's a few people in here that have mentioned the reqtec, after having mine got as long as I have I must say this is looking like an attractive next grill for that reason. Thanks for sharing your experience using it.

The warranty is good, had my controller start acting up after about a year and called them. They replaced it right away with a new one in 2 days. It is not the best pellet smoker but for the performance to price ratio it is a really good pellet smoker. To be honest I still mainly smoke ribs and stuff like that on my offset but use the pellet smoker for a brisket so I don’t have to tend fire all night.

I think you're right on this, but I think the phraseology is lost today. I had to stop using "never look a gift horse in the mouth", no one knew what I was saying, I thought it was clear.

Hey, it's great to hear from you, it's been a while. The channel seems to be making it's way through the people I know, if I'm ever back in the Steinbach area I'll look you up.

You're most welcome Ron, let me know if you try them what you think.

That's a fair comment, keep in mind these were cooked from frozen, and I do have the direct heat chamber closed, I prefer it this way so I can chuck the meat on, and walk away, not come back to a remake of the movie backdraft. Cooking the same burger on gas to the same doneness took the same time when I tried it or any meat when the temps were the same. We did keep our gas bbq for a season because no one had a pellet grill at the time and we had no idea if we'd like it. I have a friend who leaves his direct heat open all the time and goes max heat, I guess to each their own, this is just how I like it I guess. Whatever you do, keep on it, and thanks for taking the time to comment!

I've never tried to add the app, I just add the devices and control them remotely on hubitat. 100% reliable so far.

@@HouseDadLife if tuya zigbee devices work well with hubitat, then there's no need for me to buy tuya gateway to run them. I just have to rely on habitat for ease and proper automations. Correct?

Exactly

ROFL!!

I'm looking for as close to a theatre at home type of experience.

@@HouseDadLife i understand haha, im planning in short term to replace my old 40 inch Sony with the X90L but in size 55inch, i cant stretch my budget enough, in europa the 55x90l costs €1199 at this moment

I upgraded from a 10 year old Tv, what a difference, enjoy your new setup! I'm loving mine.

You're welcome!

Maybe I should have clarified, I'm referring to the flavour you get from the fat dripping down and vaporizing, there's still some smoke flavor from that. As far as the wood smoke flavour, yeah there would be none of that on a gas grill. You're also right about smoking, at the time I made this video I had smoked almost nothing on it. Currently that's changed in a big way, it's become my favorite and probably most used option on it.

1.25 Tbls to 4 gallons still burnt my tomato leafs.

I use no covers and just let the rain in. Once you've added as much water back that's in the reservoir, do a complete flush and change out the solution and you're gtg.

I'm pinging a local address, not an internet address. The hubitat is on a ups along with my router the device I'm pinging is not. Hopefully that helps you, and you're welcome for the videos.

@@HouseDadLife Ah I see. It makes sense now that the router is on a backup power source as well
