    ouch, reminds me @Little Steven 's post below.
    Is that induction top or regular? Trying to figure out how it happened.

    I took a very cold 12" Lodge out of my deck box a couple of years ago and stuck it on an induction burner on high with boost. Split it right in half. That said, I've got a pizza CI that I've had to 1000* with no issue.

    I should have had the chili come up to room temperature and brought it up slowly on the stove. It never even crossed my mind that I'd crack the stove top. I had a group of guys hungry after being out fishing. I was shocked to come across the cracks when cleaning up this morning.

    That's not normal.  It shouldn't have broken the glass.  The freezing point of water is not an actual meaningful threshold relative to the tempered glass top.

    I suspect pre existing condition.  I had a 9x13 pyrex in the egg as a drip pan.  So glad I completely foiled it for easy cleanup.  It was elevated. About an hour in I heard a funny noise.  I knew it right away.  It basically disintegrated.   Finished cook as foil kept it in form.  Picked it all up in one motion.  Second one I've had do that.  First one was in oven.  That had breakfast casserole in it.  Not so easy of a cleanup.

    I was shocked to see it this morning. When looking around online for replacement parts I read a review online that someone was on their 3rd replacement glass top. The only thing I did was place a pot of cold chili on the stove. When removing the pot this morning I noticed it was almost melted looking and shattered. I really have no idea other than me being the last to use it with chili.

    That makes no sense. 

    I imagine a defect in the glass might cause it? A chip?

    one question: are we sure it is just tempered glass? Wouldn’t those tops be made of ceramic (borosilicate) glass that is capable of dealing with thermal shock?

    although the round shape of the damage does seem like the cold mass affected it. 

    I just think about how Pyrex really isn’t pyrex like it used to be. Used to be borosilcate. Amd the name was fired on in ceramic frit too. Now it’s a trademark printed in silk screened paint on tempered glass.

    The bottom of the pot maybe warped from the temp swing and was putting heat only in certain spots? Trying to think outside the box...

    Not warped but I just flipped over the pot and noticed it melted the coating off the pot and scorched it in other areas.

    Just bought the first/earliest bookplate of the Grolier Club (their library). 

    Don’t any of you cry yourself to sleep, now, for having missed it.

    Really considering these for $79.  Fish and veggies would do well also so would wings and ribs.

    The wife just found my favorite flashlight....AWOL for two years.

    If anyone wants a top of the line, serious EDC or utility light, I highly recommend Emisar.

    So that light was replaced by the version 2.  D4V2. 

    I'm not joking when I say this light isn't for kids.  You can get hurt by it, seriously, it can be dangerous.  It can blind you, burn you, set stuff on fire. Example of it setting paper on fire in this video.


    That said, if you learn how to use it, it has some good safety functions like a lockout.

    It can get insanely bright if you use high output 18650 batteries.  On the down side, it gets too hot to hold fairly quickly on max output.  It will not self-destruct, there are thermal limits, battery voltage limits, etc.

    It's very small, small enough to fit in your pocket and potentially set your pants on fire.

    I love it!

    Dammit.  Now I have the fever again. I thought I purged it out of my system years ago.

    I'm a flashaholic.

    Thinking it would be fun to have this D18.  It's a photon-bomb, light canon. Up to 14,000 lumen (with the high output batteries).


    I must have a hundred 18650 batteries recycled from laptops laying around.  Lifetime supply.

    Ordered it.  Why?!

    You only live once. 

    A 100 watt incandescent bulb puts out 1,600 lumen. 

    This light will put out 14,000 lumen.  (for maybe 20-30 seconds when it reduces current to control the heat).  But even at a heat-stable output, it's insane.

    There are a bunch of modes.  One that's more interesting is called "lightning".  It simulates lightning by varying the intensity and length of flashes of light at random intervals.

    Also, you can program the UI (user interface) to completely over-ride the factory programs and set up custom settings that you would most commonly use.  The firmware is open-source.

    I was able to break free from my flashlightomania a few years ago by quitting the candelpower forum.
    That's not a rabbit hole I want to jump into again so quit posting new flashlights! :)

    Big shout out to Ooni and their customer service!  Over the last few months the flame in my Ooni Koda would inexplicably extinguish, and then recently wouldn't light at all.  Couple of emails, some back and forth and they sent me a new oven.  All is well in Pizzaville.  

    Now I'm shopping for a grill mat to put on the deck under my egg and blackstone.  Mostly for splatters, but also for the stray ember/spark. 

    Any recs?

    I'm super bummed my 6 year old Samsung Note 4 bit the dust. I just picked up a new one and I already miss the Note 4. The picture and video quality looked way nicer on my previous phone. I'd imagine something isn't setup right. The only thing I'm looking forward to is the new camera/video. The rest I was all good with.

    Awesome brother. I am very tempted to pull the trigger on a Black Arkansas (Ultra Fine).

    I think you may have been solid a bill of goods, that looks like an opaque stone, as opposed to a translucent stone.  Regardless of that issue nice looking stones and storage boxes!

    I've had some lower back pain since logging and chopping up the fallen poplar before Christmas. Getting old and a lifetime of slouching / bending wrong for lifting has caught up with me. I came across this company and bought their Back Up and Lumbar Jack, which arrived from the US last week. I've consistently worn the belt to stop bad bending habits, and the back up when seated. After 1 day, I was sleeping soundly with no pain and moving more easily. The injury is still there, but it's so much better now. Great products, if a bit niche interest.
