Wiebner's Profile

Cast aluminum? No way I like the cast iron ones at Cabela's.

@Adventrising Sometimes the truth can sound like an ad, and please don't tell me that you never use coupons ;) Perfect Image is a brick and mortar store in my town. It's just a guy who does quality repair work for me and all of the other grateful photographers in the area. I wanted to share his name and hopefully bring him a little business and give you a great experience. I am a pro photographer. If you Google my last name you will easily find me and my wife, as I am the only Wiebner photographer that ever comes up. I apologize if it came across as spammy to you, but it's not like I posted irrelevant info.

BTW, please don't ever use a lens pen on your sensor. The brush end is too abrasive and the pad end has a fine polymer that will just make your dust issue infinitely worse.

I heard there is already one across the street.

FYI, that's a lot of weight on a set of hinges that is not meant to bear it. I had this problem in my hall closet door when I hung coats on the door. The weight eventually pulls the hinges off kilter.

How about a little more about the functionality. Does the charcoal float to the hole when you pour this? Does it shed dirt in the water or is it solid enough to not release any of the blackened wood. How long does it take to filter out the chlorine? This seems more like an aesthetic piece than a functional one. If it were as easy as good quality charcoal in a water bottle wouldn't we all be using it already? Burnt wood and glass is cheap. This is not.

Stick one in your suitcase as a travel laundry bag. That way you can easily keep your dirty clothes and clean clothes separate.

And you can eat them too!

Porch/patio design! The weather is warming up (sorta) and I am working on painting and fixing up my front porch this year. I think a great way to extend limited indoor space is to spread outdoors, so I want to soup up my frontage and I need ideas. How can you resist this seasonal topic ;)

The lamp wouldn't actually cast photo shadows unless you put a very tiny little LED bulb in there. The light source is too big in relation to the distance and size of the negatives. It could be done though.

I think it really depends on your needs. If you just need to quickly grill up a few burgers then propane is the answer functionally as well as quantity used. If you plan to slow cook chicken or smoke something then charcoal might me a better option. I would also like to suggest lump charcoal to veronicainla. It packs a much bigger punch than the quick low temp burning chemical briquettes. Lump burns long and high. Also, get yourself a chimney starter and you can skip the petroleum based charcoal starter. With one sheet of paper you can start enough coals to cook a meal for any average size family. When you get good at it you can use just enough to cook your meal and not have any wasted coals. I say boo to the whole oil industry by products and all.
