  1. What's the point? All it does it grill, right? So it's basically a $175 Weber Smokey Joe that retails for $500+ and is too heavy to actually be portable and would crack and be ruined if you accidentally dropped it. Am I missing some sort of functional benefit to this other than someone wanting their friends to know they bought an overpriced mini grill?


    I think the point is that you can get max temps at much higher points therefore able to get better chars on steaks. Especially if paired with a cast iron grate. Of course I can also get high temps grilling directly over my charcoal chimney but that’s just one steak at a time. Point is mute for this little guy. It was sold instantly.

  4. So I just noticed someone selling a medium BGE for $375... should I taking vacation and driving down to buy this immediately? They said they've only used it a few times but don't have time to grill. I already have a 22" WSM and a charcoal grill but I have nothing like this that gets those badass high temps for searing some mean steaks.

    Brutal

     

    Strengths

    • Big and strong for a cornerback
    • Plays with toughness and attitude
    • Good job with hands in bump-and-run
    • Can give receivers a rough ride over first five yards
    • Crowds and bodies up receivers downfield
    • Takes good angles to play the catch-point
    • Adequate downhill burst to close
    • Active, strong hands make contested catches difficult
    • Decent job at recognition from zone
    • Willing, physical tackler who doesn't need help
    • Strikes with heavy pads when he gets a shot
    • Will track and tackle out of his area

    Weaknesses

    • Slow, clunky backpedal
    • Tightly bundled hips and lacks fluidity
    • Inconsistent lateral steps to adjust to receiver's release
    • Too easy to shake from press for quick targets
    • Labored hip flip in his transitions
    • Recovery burst below average once beaten
    • Lacks athleticism and closing burst to turn breakups into takeaways
    • Glitchy with lateral movements from off-man
    • Doesn't find football with back to it
    • Prone to pass interference penalties downfield
    • Inconsistent leverage against the run

    I could have told you about those weaknesses every time he got burnt toasted. Doesn't take an NFL scout to see those. I  think he worked on too much strength stuff instead of more explosive stuff to put it way too simply.

    I wanted to do this exactly (on both sides) but the ones I found online were too tall. I only have maximum of 14 inches before it would hit the garage door. I figured all I had to do was cut all four legs so that's an option. Did you cut these or is your garage door just lower from the ceiling than mine? 

    Home depot has a sale on these bad boys so I went ahead and ordered two of them. I will cut them so they clear the garage door. Haven't decided which direction I want to install them in terms of long way fore and aft from the garage door or laterally.

  8. I never considered running them with conduit externally that would certainly make it a lot easier on me to do. I wonder how often it’s done that way as opposed to running it through the attic and eaves. I plan to install 8 of them along the perimeter of the house at various angles so u would essentially have to have conduit for a big portion of the perimeter. Something to consider.

    I have a setup similar to the above.... it's FLIR that has now been purchased by Lorex but it's pretty nice. I've had a few cameras go out so working on getting those fixed (hopefully just a fuze)

    Did you have someone else install/wire it all? I don't know how hard it's going to be to crawl through my attic in tight spaces for these corner areas and drill holes to run the wires and how to properly run them etc. I also don't want to pay someone $200 plus just to do something seemingly simple.

    Remember how awesome we looked in the spring game right before the 2010 season?

    That’s when I learned to stop paying attention to preseason scrimmages. They’re not really diagnostic of anything. 

    I'm very triggered right now. I blame Gilbert for the last decade of suck. Nobody wanted to play on a team with a shitty QB. It ALL starts with the QB.

  11. After a little research I think i'm honing in on this bad boy
