Today is a travel day. Ill get toyour questions this evening when i get to my destination.Well me too. Where are you headed? Will I see you in San Juan?
Brass nipple. Giggity.
AST p/n 263085 where is/ how do I run my air bleeder on this sumbishI don’t actually believe that model has one. Never fear, you can make one. This is for a different filter but you can use some of the parts from this kit to fashion one. Take the pressure gauge off and thread this bad boy in. Only concern is if the brass nipple is long enough to give clearance for the pressure gauge to be mounted on the T. If it is not, I am sure it would not be that hard to track down a double threaded brass nipple that is a little longer. Of course you won’t need the washer and plastic hex piece.
That is much easier sounding than I thought…
Looks like I will be procuring some beef short ribs this week
AST instructions please

So if they come as a plate, it is pretty simple. Take out of frig and let come to room temp. I rub generously with:
1 part coarse kosher
1 part coarse black pepper
1/8 part garlic chowder
1/8 part paprika
1/16 part chili chowder (I generally use ancho or chipotle)
Bone down smoke at 275 until bark is set. Loosely wrap with butcher paper. Finish smoke until internal temp reaches 200-205. Let rest 2 hours in cooler or oven.
Assumed it would have to be super low/slow

Someday I will. Someday.
When I grow up I want to get a blackstone and smoker and become AST.Bacon; I make it in the oven and it works perfectly every time.
this topic has been adjudicated several times over. The only people who don't cook it in the oven are mongos who are too proud to try it and admit that it is the superior method across every possible metric. And to see those people triple down on their position is really quite something.
I’m quadrupling down that on the grill is tops. No grease or pans to clean up. No smells in the house.
see this is exactly what i'm talking about. With every word it became more and more abundantly clear that what tdaver is saying is "I have never actually attempted to cook bacon in the oven and everything i'm saying is purely conjecture"
Oven bacon is pretty good, but do you even Blackstone bro?
@AST How are you able to accomplish all that with a toddler around? I cant refill my water in the kitchen without him all up in my business.
looks amazing
I believe AST's advice in this situation is to give it the ol' eyeball test and the ol' smell test.
I've been getting into butcher tiktok lately, and got a hankering to buy a deli meat slicer because making roast beef at home looks fun. Mrs. DQ rolls her eyes at this and (understandably) thinks it will just be something we use once, and then will perpetually live in our basement. Honestly, I think there's a good possibility of that too.
So we made a deal, I will make roast beef the old fashioned way (and slice it thin with a knife) five times. If, after the 5th time, I still want a meat slicer, I will get it. Do any of you Cats buy big hunks of meat and slice it into cuts yourselves? Any other homemade roast beef heads in here? Let's chat!
hate your guts

So I think I have the explosion cause pinpointed now. This pool/spa has an old school plumbing set up. The spa is only 1/2” raised from the pool. When it is like that, there is no need to plumb a spa overflow line during construction. A spa overflow is utilized in systems where the attached spa is elevated as there needs to be a mechanical check valve in place on such systems in order from gravity taking over when the pump/waterflow turns off. This is because in those systems, the spa will drain into the pool every night via the plumbing until the 2 connected but separate bodies of water equal a balanced state. This results in water loss out the pool overflow drain. The next day the pump turns on, the spa is filled by pulling water out of the pool, more water is added and water loss and chemical dilution occurs over and over and over againn.
So with this system, water is constantly going through the spa returns. His system also had someone install dual salt cells on it last summer. Salt cells constantly off gas sodium hydrochloride, hydrochlourus acid, and HYDROGEN. The hydrogen gas over time made its way past the spa venturi plumbing and was just sitting in the air blower line waiting for a way to escape. Well, there was no way to escape unless someone new this was happening and they as able to purge the line. Not the case. Me testing the air blower was the first opportunity the hydrogen had and it was via an ignition source.
So yeah, all signs point towards a hydrogen gas explosion that I got to experience yesterday. Ad bad as it was, I am pretty sure it would have been much much worse later. rough ridin' hell man.
But for real, are the homeowners pissed that you blew up their hot tub?
Nah, they are cool. It was either me doing it when I was there or them doing it while they were there with their kids. This property is north of $10mil so they have the money to address it and no for a fact that there is nothing I did that caused this. I was just the unfortunate person there that got to witness it play out.
1. Glad I was not hurt.
2. Anxious to find out why to prevent it from happening again with even possible worse results.
If it wasn't you who did the salt cell thing, you should tell that customer to file a claim against salt cell guy's insurance. Sounds like he mumped up and is lucky he didn't kill a pool full of kids. His insurance should certainly pay for the putting back together of things. You might also need to have your ringing ears checked and see if you should file a claim on said dood. This is exactly why Commercial Liability Insurance exists and why folks should make sure their contractors have it.
