What's on your bench?

Here we go! 200 degrees internal temp. They should look like meteorites .

And they do. I used a rub this time with a little heat. Can’t wait. We’ll wrap them up and set them in a cooler to rest awhile. Then we’ll pull em and have some lunch .
14 hours to cook these at about 220-230 degrees.

Mmmmm Now I'm hungry!

Did a little bit of Polish engineering to get the dishwasher at least useable. Took a garden hose repair end and put it on the end of the dishwasher drain hose and ran a garden hose to the sump.

So can you now 'rod' the original drain line Will? I've used string trimmer line for a similar job in the past.

My dad is going to help me with getting it unclogged.

I did 16 lbs for pulled pork a couple months ago in my electric smoker.
It took 18 hours. In at 6am. Out at 12am. It was freekin delicious. I used a hot and spicy mustard for the rub paste and the bark was like a sweet heat. I had a sandwich that next more with my eggs. It was one of the best home cooked meals I’ve made.

It's so nice outside, moved the bench to the picnic table under the pecan tree. Initial washing of 394, 555, & 242 cases before painting. The 555 & 242 will be build threads this winter. I think there are parts from 11 different saws going into them.

@WillG
Cut the copper pipe back to a flat area above and below the clog. Replace it with PVC and a rubber boot. And build a cleanout at the same time.
It's commonly done with cast iron pipe that is rotten.

Drawer fronts have been completed today. Just sanding and finishing. Plus all the pieces there for the doors. Just need more time in the day.

look a little closer Jeff. Where the drain for the dishwasher is threaded into looks to be a threaded cap onto the copper. Maybe my eyes are not sitting right but I’d thread the cap off and install a larger elbow and reduce it on the vertical. Old plumbing elbows are not sweeping elbows like the pvc used today. I see lots of these older tight radius fittings plug up due to the sweep

I know this is your jam Nic but surely a flexi rod into the elbow is a chance of clearing the blob as a primary fix?

Just looked again on PC. Are mac unions common in plumbing?

Thanks for the great idea. I'll suggest it to my dad. House was built in 1934 and who knows when the dishwasher was added. Yup the elbow is threaded into the cap.

I hear you. So... PVC wouldn't be a good option? Should flow better with newer PVC...

Adam you are correct but that elbow has such a short radius it will be difficult to get it to push through

Pvc would be the best option imho. Here and I’m sure they use the same code there as we just went to it here in 2015 would require a long radius elbow in that position.

Newest addition to my fleet. Runs excellent! Just need to get a bar and chain. Setting it up 14" 3/8 low profile.

Those older echo tophandles/rear handle based tophandles are pretty bulletproof and simple. Not really fast cutters. But reliable and get the job done.

They're great little saws. Picking up the bar and chain tomorrow evening after work and then putting her to work cutting up the rest of a small tree that came down during Henri.

Fooled with the 576 (xp) Auto Tune muffler before it gets shipped to the UP.

Still cutting my teeth on this process... don't know it it's helping or not, but I seem to perceive a difference. Maybe it's wishful thinking, but for now, this is the way I do 'em.
My buddy has a pulse TIG machine that works awesome on this thin steel.

Put the Lombard Super Comango on the bench. This one has a decomp and the automatic oiler.
