    Great innovation in string trimmers: Stihl FSA 85 review

    The problem most people have with 2 cycle engines is caused by using ethanol blended gasoline that pulls moisture in from the air. The Stihl gas is 100% gas (plus the required oil). I ended up getting a 5 gallon metal container of "real gas" from a local station and have had zero gas related...

    Simple quality grill recommendations

    So is Weber the best option for gas or should I be looking @ other brands? I'm definitely getting a grill with stainless grates... (no porcelain on steel).

    Simple quality grill recommendations

    I've got a great ceramic charcoal BBQ/grill but my wife wants something that she can use (or pre-heat so it's ready when I get home from work). The grill area can be small, we would only use this for quick grilling of evening meals. I've been looking at models from TEC and Webber (Genesis S...

    Amir rants about prescription drugs -- again!

    The company I work for uses ExpressScripts/Medco as both the insurance provider *AND* the pharmacy. If we use anyone besides ExpressScripts to fill prescriptions with our insurance we get charged. 1st time prescription fills are exempt from the rule.

    Heat pump + furnace rec's?

    Yes, a VS fan motor (or at least a 2 stage) is critical. Continuous air circulation also helps with air quality (more filtering). I was pointing out that the furnace burner *can* be a separate decision. Some brands (Trane, etc.) only offer the best fan tech in their most expensive furnace...

    Current Refrigerators, what's best?

    Take a look at Liebherr. I have a few friends who picked this brand when they remodeled and they don't miss their SubZeros at all.

    Sansaire Sous Vide Circulator

    No, not the tank. The actual exterior case of the immersion circulator is molded plastic (versus a metal shell that you'd find on an expensive pro model). They have a patent on the molded plastic (I don't know what makes it unique art.. perhaps the way that it snaps together).

    Sansaire Sous Vide Circulator

    Gary, Sansaire claims that the lawsuit will not delay shipping of product. The founder says that they are in 'amicable talks' with PolyScience.

    Sansaire Sous Vide Circulator

    Sansaire is getting sued by PolyScience (they have a patent on a molded plastic exterior). We'll see how things work out for them (does Sansaire have cash to fight the lawsuit, etc., etc.). I've been using an Anova (they are known for lab equipment as well) and have been very pleased with...

    Pressure cookers...which one?

    For canning I use an "All American" brand pressure cooker. The best part is that there are no seals to wear out. http://www.amazon.com/All-American-921-2-Quart-Pressure/dp/B00004S88Z/ref=sr_1_1?s=home-garden&ie=UTF8&qid=1388177873&sr=1-1 I have not tried cooking in it due to the size.

    New ac-wireless router - thumbs up!

    I was able to get my FIOS provider to switch me over from coax to Cat6 recently so I installed a new wireless router, the Asus RT-AC68U. I'm pairing it with a Netgear wireless-N endpoint @ the other end of my home for solid coverage. I've streamed a few uncompressed Blurays over the wireless...

    Consumer Reports rates US Airlines

    My wife and I flew them this September to the big island & Kauai (6 flights total) and had a superb experience (great coffee, they actually serve a meal in coach, etc.). I fly Southwest most of the time (most of my travel is to Austin and Baltimore) and they are a great option if you don't want...

    What would you consider as the best outdoor smoker?

    Agreed. Ceramic holds the heat better so you'll use a smaller fire. A smaller fire means less air moving past the meat (which dries it out).

    What would you consider as the best outdoor smoker?

    The largest ceramic cooker is the Komodo Kamado "Big Bad 32" (the stainless components alone weigh over 100lbs) and has a grate area similar to the larger home-use offset cookers. However, most people find that 2 smaller cookers make more sense because you rarely need the capacity and the...

    What would you consider as the best outdoor smoker?

    The WSM is similar in style to the kamado... they are both vertical upright smokers. The kamados have better insulation and require a smaller fire (less drying of the meat). The WSM is only intended for smoking. The Traeger is easier to use ( very similar to an oven in use) and is a...
