  I'd assume that would be fixed/replaced by the dealer, no?

  I do with chicken wings...turn it up at the end to get them a little crispier once they have taken all the smoke. However, those need to be flipped and babysat a little more throughout so you are out there anyway. Not really a necessary feature, I suppose and another thing that could wrong but I'm sure some of the features would prove useful. For example, it will log your cook times and put them on your app so the next time you do a 9 lb pork shoulder, you'll be able to see that they last time you did a 9 pounder, it went for 7 hours at 225. Again, not necessary but cool.

  I'm pretty sure it's a widespread issue that is going to require a code update from the manufacturer.

  Yeah. The issue with all meats you’re smoking is depending on the fat content, it varies your time wildly. You get to that stall, and the fat starts melting and cooling your meat down and it can last for hours. I’ve burned myself and didn’t get a shoulder done in time for a party bc I went off a previous cook. I had to wrap it earlier than I wanted to get it thru the stall and it didn’t come out like I should have.

  I jumped on the smart watch bandwagon and pre-ordered a Ticwatch E last night. With their Black Friday coupon it was only $137 shipped.

  My watch came in on Friday, it's pretty nice for the price.

  A Hitachi jobsite saw. I can't remember the model, but Lowe's had a great deal on it.

  I have an oooooold dewalt my dad gave me. I’ve been thinking about getting a tracksaw instead. It’d be easier to use for most of the stuff I need it for.

  This is the saw I bought:

  That's a really good price for that. What are you going to use it for? Any upcoming projects?
• BR1986FB

  New ride. It's definitely green but I like really loud colors....

  I want to build a few basic pieces of furniture (desk, bookcase) to start with.

  I want to build some basement shelving. I can use my table saw for ripping the plywood, but it really helps to have 2 people to make accurate cuts with 8ft pieces. The tracksaw intrigued me since it would be easy to do with 1 person.
