Shop Time w/T.W. Friends

Well see about that, Traeger. Not holding my breath.

 

WANT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Not to sound ignorant, but what's allegedly happening tomorrow?

 

Grizzly... precision?

 

Microwave magic numbers

 

Recap of the last 2 months.

I bought a Traeger at Costco in early February, then it got balls cold so it sat in the garage for a few weeks. I cracked open the box only to be greeted with this:

Their support line sent me a new lid almost immediately but noting for the barrel for weeks. I got a hold of them again and they said 2 weeks. Two weeks later, nothing. Got a hold of them a 3rd time and, despite now having barrels, they were waiting for more before they sent mine out then they were going to send me JUST the barrel so I'd have to disassemble the pellet hopper from the original smoker to put it on the new one. I'm not opposed to that but I don't think I should have to fix what they messed up. Took some finagling but they finally agreed to just send me an entire new grill and I'm sending them an entire grill back.

The new one damn well better not be busted up, too, or it's going back to Costco.

 

Damn that sucks... I was about to pull the trigger in the next week on a new smoker/cooker....

 

Thanks for the input guys. Our autocross events usually run Saturday and Sunday, so leave Friday and spend a couple nights near the event. The closest event is two hours away, the furthest being 5-6 hours away. The reason I was looking into diesels is because I figured a 28ft trailer with two cars, a toolbox, extra wheels and tires, and whatever else would probably be too much of a drag on a gasser. I couldn't see a gas engine getting anything remotely good for gas mileage doing that kind of towing.

 

I’d be embarrassed to show what I payed for my 13” clausing colchester. Maybe it could be a new poll lol!

 

Embarrassed as in 'stole it' or 'got took'?

 

This weeks project so far

 

Based on those two ads it’s closer to stole it I think.

 

What is that, a portable substation?

I could rewire the trailer lights on it, that's about it

 

Yep, they call it a mobile sub. It looks pretty complicated and weighs over 100,000 lbs. we have to get a permit to move it.

 

Buddy just sent me this, pretty much perfect for what we want to do. https://maine.craigslist.org/tro/d/meddybemps-2012-united-custom-enclosed/7294414129.html

 

That is cool with the sleeping spot. Is that a litter box with a vent?

 

Looks kinda like a swamp cooler to me, or a vented battery box. We're not looking at anything new, pretty much exclusively older stuff like this. Same for tow rigs, mostly early 2000's since that's the only thing remotely affordable for a couple weekend warriors

 

That is a sweet rig. Like a bigger version of my camper.

 

Just a little bigger. Barely noticeable.
