    I still have nightmares about the coil burners I grew up with in the '80s.

    They're fine. Every type of stove (just as with grills) has its idiosyncrasies but once you get used to them they're all good.
    The only thing I really envy about a good gas stove is the type that has the flat  grate across the entire surface - must be nice to be able to slide pots/skillets everywhere.
    Fun fact - a coil burner stove will boil water faster than a gas burner. Not that I really tho care as I use an electric teakettle.

    Just pulled the trigger on a Bluestar Platinum 30" in the color/trim below and a GE Cafe  fridge. 7-8 weeks lead time. 




    We just bought a cafe suite a few months back.  It’s pretty nice, the fridge motor is kind of loud in my opinion, my wife says she doesn’t notice it.

    I accidentally set my hand on a cherry red coil burner.  Left a very identifiable burn pattern.  I do not have fond memories of them either.

    I would rather light a candle than curse your darkness.

    @ColtsFan - what's your favorite Girl Scout cookie??  Or is that like asking your favorite child?  =)  BTW- mine is Trefoils...
    Do-si-dos hands down. But I've been known to kill a half a box of just about every variety :)

    Polywood patio furniture.
    2 Adironack chairs, 2 Adirondak rockers and 2 side tables. Schitz expensive, but should last for years and easy to clean up with the pressure washer.

    If anyone is looking for a cheap pair of Bluetooth headphones check out these for only $16.

    I had an earlier version of them and I thought they were great for the price. I ended up losing the set and I didn't feel too bad with the price I paid for them. I just picked up this pair in the link above

    These came in today. Pretty crazy what a $17 pair of Bluetooth headphones can get you nowadays. I've had in ear Bose headphones in the past and these crush them. (This was also years ago but still very much impressed that these cheap little Bluetooth headphones can do)

    For the Texans lucky enough to be in range of HEB, the annual release of Tableau wine is out. It’s an HEB private label of Caymus (and says so on the bottle). It’s $35 a bottle, the only catch is that it’s young. This years release is 2019 for instance. I buy a bottle, see if I like it. If so, but a case and wait a couple years. @The Cen-Tex Smoker

    A different mangalite knock off? I assume cooks and feels the same, just like a McWare does? Had to look them up as I’d never heard of that brand

    Yeah....Magnalite is no longer around.  SWMBO has a nostalgic attraction to the style.  We have a ton of it.

    I have a bunch of old school magnalite as well as a few larger McWare. This brand is a little cheaper than McWare. Might have to try it out, looking for the 15” oval roaster

    I picked up a Sam's Club membership once again as I'm "technically" a new member as our old membership expired at the begining of the pandemic and haven't been in since 

    They have a really good deal for new members right now. Buy a membership for $45 and receive a $45 Sam's Club gift card.

    The game we play is we each have a member ship in Costco/Sams.  We give each other cards.  When it expires, we switch and are "new" members by the definition of not having a membership for a year.  Free stuff pays the membership fees.  Etc.

    I'm in that club at Harbor Freight (they gave me a free membership because I'm a regular customer).  Friday - Monday was a 4 day 20% off for members with no exclusions.  Normally half the stuff in the store is excluded from the usual 20 off coupon.  So I decided to buy one nice tool a day and save some money. 

    And got those bluetooth ear pods that someone here posted a link to for around 20 bucks.  Why not?

    Now you need to rig your new dust/chips extractor so that you can direct the ouptut hose either to the dust collector or to a dryer vent like thing in your wall so you can vent out all the smoke/vapors very easily. You're right that filtration of vapors and very fine particles can be tough (which was why I earlier said ventilation not filtration) but point source collection and sharing with your neighbros can be easy.

    This unit is for the big shop where I have the basic woodworking tools - table saw, planer, miter saw.  I rough cut wood I store there for fine woodworking and finish it in the backyard manbearcave, which is where I got the smoke.  I have a dust collection system there that's nicer with a pleated filter...might get some of that smoke out.  but venting that outside as an option sounds like a good idea if I decide to do much more with the heart pine.

    If the pleated filter is the equivalent of a MERV 13 furnace filter it would capture much of the smoke/particulates. Every little bit of protection helps (my ears and lungs wish I had paid more attention to PPE over the decades).
