Shop Time w/T.W. Friends. Torque wrench on spark plugs, we need answers so cast your vote now

Going to try and watch it if I can. My whole family’s name is on it as well!

 

Store?

 

Yes sir! My wife and I own a small convenience store. She usually runs it and I work in the machine shop. I work here an hour in the mornings, go to the shop for 8 hours then come back here for 4-5 hours. We are trying to sell the store because we’re tired of working so much. She also sells Norwex.

 

Awesome. But that keeps you runnin' I'm guessing

 

Yes sir. Need to spend more time with the kids outside we’re only off on Sundays.

 

Amen to that.

 

Morning Shane hope y’all stay warms today.

 

Nice setup. I don't remember all the furnace details, but it's 1/2hp blower, propane fired, 95% efficiency.
I discoed the house wires from it and attached a 120v cord, plugged into a 12ga ext cord. 2000 watt Coleman genny. The furnace try to start then kick out on low voltage I think. Lucky I didn't fry the board.

3500w Predator now run thru a lockout plate runs the furnace with ease, and most everything in the house, within reason.

What’s the weather like in Stocktown?

 

Good Morning Fellas

 

It was snowing earlier but has stopped (hopefully for forever), The Melting of 2021 begins tomorrow!

 

For the first time in two weeks I didn't wear my heavy winter coat to work!

This weekend looks like it will finally be decent enough to try out the new smoker, too!

 

Morning Shane

 

@six5crèéd hows the wife doing?

 

Told the wife to get something for me to smoke this weekend, looking forward to trying my new one out as well!

 

I don't have nearly enough experience with smokers to try anything beyond simple stuff yet. With my other smoker, I have a terrible time getting it to smoke without the temps rising higher than I want and even then the wood doesn't burn down, it stays in chunks. I'm hopeful that the Traeger makes things easier for me so I can start experimenting more.

Any idea what you'll be smoking?

 

Afternoon all

 

Traeger has been out of my budget, but if they’re as tried and trued as their reputation seems, you should have good results!
My wife used up the last of our frozen stock of smoked turkey, so I have a feeling she might get me one to try. One of the amazing things this Orion cooker brags about is cooking a turkey in 2.5 hrs. So I’m game to give it a shot!

what’s on your menu?
