Lynx Grill or Other Outdoor Grill Recs
Comments (4)I am a lifelong Weber charcoal kettle user and fan. However, since we also grill at least a couple times a week year round, last fall I decided to buy a gas grill for the sake of the convenience of just turning a knob on verses lighting and waiting for coals to be ready. I decided on the Lynx, it seemed to have the best fit and finish, and is very well built. We're empty nesters, so the 30" is all we really needed. The rotisserie works well, and is fun to use. I did get one infra red sear burner, and it does get hotter than the burner over the ceramic briquettes, but doesn't seem to cook as evenly, nor sear anything close to real charcoal! I'm glad I kept the Weber, and I find myself still using it more for things like steaks. While the gas is convenient, IMO there's just no substitute for cooking over real charcoal....See MoreF&P v. Samsung v. KA fridges: Noise? Energy? Other CD recs?
Comments (4)We bought a Samsung french door 29' and are waiting for Lowes to come back and get it. The door are curved and so are the handles which makes it stick out WAY too much in the kitchen. The leds are really cool UNTIL you put food on the shelves and then it looks like the lights are out. Kind of defeats the purpose of not having food rot in the back. Mechanically speaking we are not having problems. Just my FYI...See MoreHansgrohe Talis C with Whitehaven sink? other good faucet rec?
Comments (8)I have had the Talis C for 18 months with an ordinary, deep, single-bowl, stainless undermount sink. I didn't know it wasn't recommended. By whom? Splashing? Well, at first there was an adjustment to the deep sink and the high arc. You can splash if you have a spoon sitting in the sink and the water flow hits it. We've all had that happen. There is a sweet spot for entering the flow of water that doesn't cause splashing. I don't splash anymore and I don't have to think about it. I have never had a swiveling problem. I just tested it. When I swivel it to the extreme right or left and let it go, it does move maybe an inch back toward center. That's it. My drain is smack dab in the center of my sink (which I don't mind), but I often have two things going on in my sink so I frequently move it to one side or the other and it stays put. I don't know if mine has the higher or lower pressure output. I suspect the lower and it works fine for me. There is a magnet for docking the hose back in tight. The sprayer stays on until you turn the faucet off, i.e., you do not have to keep pressing the spray button. I would actually prefer it being a toggle on/off switch, so that when I want a regular stream rather than a spray I don't have to turn it off, then on again. I use the sprayer all the time for whooshing everything down the drain since I have a grid at the bottom. Haha, I just looked over at my faucet and it is still obediently off-center in the left-hand part of my sink. I would prefer the handle in the front, so that when I hold things in my right hand (I'm right-handed) I don't have to reach over with my left to adjust the flow or temp. Also, less drips on the counter....See Morerec for soil pH meter or other means of soil pH measurement
Comments (1)A decade ago I spent 10+ hours researching on pH-meter and found that even the most expensive $200 one NEEDS CALIBRATION BEFORE USING to be accurate. The procedure of calibration is quite complicated. Back in 2011 I developed my own way of testing pH using red-cabbage juice (my B.S. is in computer science & minor in Chemistry). I also got my soil tested professionally by Earth Co. Company (I sent them one cup of my soil). I paid $$ for that and the test came back: high in magnesium with pH 7.7. Their result match with the red-cabbage test of 20+ samples of soil in my garden .. I did that with only 50 cents red cabbage and $1 distilled water. I did the red-cabbage test yearly in my garden. Right after week-long rain, my soil became slightly acidic. But if I water with my pH 9 tap-water, it's more alkaline. To test one's tap water, fish-tank litmus strips (sold at Walmart for $5) is handy. That matched with my village's website stating that our tap-water pH is at 9. Below are the links in Organic Rose Growing to accurately test one's soil pH. A decade ago I bought 2 soil-test-kits from Lowe's and HomeDepot, and BOTH GAVE WRONG RESULT !! It was a waste of my money, that's why I developed the "red-cabbage-juice" back in 2011. https://www.houzz.com/discussions/2132487/cheapest-way-to-test-soil-ph-using-red-cabbage#n=30 https://www.houzz.com/discussions/2134007/red-cabbage-ph-test-of-blood-meal-corn-meal-compost-etc#n=26...See Morejblc
