what's your next purchase going to be (detailing or non-detailing related)?

That looks very nice. I have been contemplating a pressure washer. I want a Kranzle or AR similar to your SunJoe, but the Kranzle and AR are way too much.

I’d love to hear your review of the SunJoe. I really like that style with all the features. I didn’t know SunJoe had anything in that style. Thanks for sharing and congrats on the cool new detailing gadget!

Agreed. Same situation. Can't justify kranzle but want something similar. This seems pretty heavy duty in design. It just came out so I'm taking a chance. No reviews yet. I bought it on Amazon for a lot cheaper but it's not in stock. Not sure how soon I'll get it.

Gonna have to pop for a new a/c unit. The old one just can't do it anymore.
 
Well I took the advice. Today we ran over to Lowes to check some units out. I went in looking at the Genesis II E-310 and the Spirit II E-310, the Spirit being the lesser model. The Spirit was $200 cheaper, and 80 lbs lighter. While the sale associate was looking around to see if they had a model of the Spirit assembled for me to look at, I was checking out the Genesis, and gentleman approached me and told me this was the best grill he ever owned. He and his son in law both have them. We talked, he answered some questions I had, I was sold. I thanked him and when the sales associate came back, I told her I want the Genesis. Just got done with the assembly, Thanks Guys!

I thought about this thread. Oddly enough the griddle I posted about above, almost a year ago, just got delivered a few days ago. I finally got around to picking one up. Now I am in the market for a new gas grill. Last weekend I was grilling some T-bones, came in the house to grab a beer, when I walk back outside I smelled something funny. Yep my grill was on fire! The black coating on the inside and outside on one half of the dome was on fire. I guess it had enough and gave in to the heat. I've had it over 8 years, and used the hell out of it.

Any recommendations? I am looking at Weber's but there is a Char-Broil I got my eye on, also there is a Nexgril (something like that) at Home Depot.

Go with the Weber Dave. I've owned so many cheapo grills over the years, but when we bought the house I got a Weber. 12 years and going strong.

I replace the grates and flavor bars every 4-5 seasons (about 40 bucks) but the thing has been trouble-free. Worth every penny IMO.

*Edit--- just read your last post. NICE choice, brother Dave!!!!! You'll be willing that to your grandchildren!

Awesome looking grill. Did you put a sealant or wax on the black paint? :)

Last week when 1 of my customers dropped off a vehicle with me his brother/my friend asked me “you’re going to clean inside the wheel wells, right”? I looked at him and laughed “of course I’m going to clean inside the wheel wells”

But up until now I’ve never actually had a real deal wheel well brush... So I went ahead and got 1. I also picked up a couple of new PFM towels.

I used the wheel well brush today. I works way better than the makeshift brushes I had been using before.

Jmak- Do both side shelfs on the Broil King fold down?

edit- I just looked again and it has a side burner.

As you can probably tell, no, they don't fold down. It's a wide grill and won't be convenient for pulling out of and putting back into the garage.
 
My espresso machine just crapped out. I think it was a bad solenoid and solenoid valve. I spoke with a few repair shops around the city, and they all said that they don't repair Breville espresso makers because the repair costs end up being similar to the value of the unit. Somewhat of a bummer. I love espresso. So, I'm in the market for another espresso machine.

Does anyone have any suggestions?
 
I have some suggestions, but they're not cheap. The higher end Breville's are about as low as you can go price wise and get a decent espresso shot. The first question is whether your Breville had grinder. If yes, then you may need to consider a grinder as well if you're not getting another Breville. If you haven't looked at espresso grinder prices, brace yourself.

For a stand alone machine check out Astra. US made and quite good. They don't have all the buzz of the high end imported machines, but they are well made and work. I used one for years before upgrading to a more expensive double boiler machine. In retrospect it wasn't worth it. The Astra pulled shots that were just as good. Thought I needed something better. I did not.

There are many other good espresso machines. It's a matter of what you want to spend, what features you want, brand preference, maintenance, etc.
