    well, that torch isn't quite as good as the one I had....little less power and no valve.  But still a good buy.   
    Mine were delivered today. I've used the 4000 head in the past and it was a fine torch head. I never thought the 8000 was worth the extra money for just lighting charcoal. Nowadays tho, the price diff between the 4000/8000 isn't but a few bucks so the 8000 is probably the better head for any use.
    When my 4000 head died a few years ago I already had a BernzOmatic BZ4500HS Heat Shrink Torch head that I bought about 5 years ago on the recommendation of some folks in a sous vide forum to use for searing. Quickly found that I don't really like searing a steak with a torch so that head has just been lighting charcoal (with the occasional heat shrink gig on the side) for the last few years.

    You are right about lighting charcoal.   But I am more interested in soldering wires and pipe.  I can always pull back and control heat in other ways.  I really mainly wanted a torch for home and shop.  I hate having to drive back and forth to juggle tools.

    I can relate to that. I'm so lazy/impatient I even have upstairs and downstairs tools in my house. :)

    i bit the bullet and bought 2 new Reggulator tops (1 for my Large and 1 for my son's Minimax). So far I can say they are worth the money.

    This morning (before 8am) I placed the order for more smoking wood chunks from Maine Grilling Woods (http://www.mainegrillingwoods.com/). Picked 'UPS Ground/free' shipping. Order has already shipped and has an ETA of tomorrow. Went with the two large bags of chunks ($65 for the two, total). I've been buying from these guys for over a decade now. Great customer service and a great product. I place an order about every 4-5 months for the same amount of chunks.

    I order the two 900 cubic inch bags... The 'bundle' of two is a bit lower in price than buying them not as the dual set. You can pick whatever wood you want too. I'm not ready to get their bulk box worth. It would probably take me a year to go through two boxes (one for sugar maple and the other for black cherry). Bulk boxes are 2744 cubic inch sized. 

    I'm glad I found them all those years ago. Having a regional source for things is rather high on my list. Especially for something of this nature. 

    I've used the combination of the two woods for everything from fish, to turkey, to beef. Always a crowd pleaser.

    After six months at our new house the lack of garage storage is driving me nuts. So I just ordered some stuff from Costco to help solve my issues.

    PEX is awesome.   Just do not let it be exposed to the sun.

    Bummer...was not successful in buying one of the Le Creuset Star Wars Collection Han Solo Carbonite Roasters which opened for sale on the Le Creuset website today. I'm curious just how many of those they produced.

    Some of the other items are still available - I recall a few peeps expressed interest in the Millenium Falcon and/or Death Star silicone trivets.
