Better to be lucky than good @Langner91.  Way to optimize the "window of opportunity."

The safety on my TS4000 is busted, meaning it’ll ignite in both the “on” and “off” positions. Is this a clear sign I should replace it?

I believe it’s guaranteed for life.

Have my TS8000 since 2017 with no issues. Just checked to confirm I still have the online receipt.

Thanks for suggesting this. After a speedy email exchange with Benzomatic, they are sending a replacement. Great customer service!

Nice!  Sometimes this forum can save you 🤑

As long is as it provides some counterpoint from those times it ruins you. 😂

If you think it's expensive, just compare it to taking the family out to Ruth's Chris.

Was always curious about the awkward name. For anyone else who was in the same boat, here is the answer.

Bought a version of this a few years back, and love it. Not an air fryer,  but there’s a lot you can do with it. Yugely marked down today.

Costco got me for $1,500 today….  B@stards!!!  I didn’t even buy a brisket

@GrateEggspectations

Carl's Jr. is equally awkward to me.  If remembering correctly, Carl's BBQ was the original biz.  Then at some point they expanded into burger joints with a smaller menu/floor space.  Thus Carl's Jr.

Growing up we would push two flat beds out of Costco and I could not believe dad spent $250 on groceries

I can't fathom a $1500 spend at Costco unless several one off buys.  Better you than me.  But onward and upward.

So I text my wife the other day to say that I have a package sitting on the front step and to please grab it when she gets home. 

A couple hours later I get a text from my wife saying, "What did you buy me?"

My response, "A deep fryer" and left it at that.

She didn't like that idea. (Most of us Northerners know nothing about frying food but know about all the risks that come with a grease fire.) In reality it was a Flame Boss 500 controller.

When I stopped home my wife says, "You bought a deep fryer? Those things aren't safe in the house. There's no way that's a deep fryer. The box is too small." I started laughing. That's a bbq controller in the box and the deep fryer is in the back of my truck! This is where she gets super confused of what I actually bought.

Suddenly the Flameboss maybe wasn't so bad as it's not a deep fryer that goes in the house and the actual deep fryer runs on propane and is made for outdoors. Win/win. She can't get mad now. Boom!!!

In reality she could care less about either purchase but I did enjoy her trying to figure out what I bought. 

This kind of mental chess is one of the reasons I never married, I think.  
An outdoor, 160-lb deep fryer is intriguing, however!

There's more to this story that I'm curious about now...

That is a good deal. Wondering if that is part of an inventory reduction pricing move. The folks that created the Joule sous vide appliance have teamed up with Breville to make a new oven - https://www.breville.com/us/en/products/ovens/bov950.html?clickid=y0E1L9Rn7xyITwd1CVwdlW4xUkD0BXTxwUQf3k0&irgwc=1&mpname=ChefSteps&cid=8631

Guessing Breville will be releasing their own branded version (if they haven't already done so). Surprised that the Joule oven still has buttons and dials, and a screen - but of course there is an app also.

I was just messing with her. She's never once questioned anything I've ever bought and has had every right to do so with some of the stupid things I've bought over the years. 

The deep fryer will be interesting. I've had smoked chicken wings that were flash fried at Smokey D's in Des Moines, Iowa last year and have had a craving for them ever since. So that's one cook I want to try. Fried chicken is the main reason for the purchase. It's one of those items that will take up a bunch of room that won't get used very often but cheap enough where I could scratch the itch.

No, I imagine that it just feels 17 years longer.

So who controls the bone in your house?  Surely not the dog.

Are you trying to suggest that Ozzie is not master of his own bone?

I think the cat laser collar is the best thing on that site.

I just bought $70 worth of sausages at the local "whole animal" butcher. I don't want to get anybody excited, but I'm gonna eat at least one of them the long way. I saw it on the dark web once, ok twice ... maybe three times ...

I would recommend lots of butter for lubricant.
