    Polywood Furniture

    The place we went to is also saying there are tremendous shortages on materials as well. Price increases as well - I should have bought the loungers we wanted in February for $269, they are now $319

    Interesting - I wonder if they supply LPP - the color combo is what he sells. Either way, they look fantastic!

    Polywood Furniture

    Looks like you shopped at LPP in Lancaster. We have Adirondack chairs from them for the fire pit. Will most likely pick up loungers once they are back in stock. About 90-minute - 2 hr drive each direction but well worth it.

    I do 3-2-1 ribs but it never seems to take that long, but I plan for it just in case.

    Official 2020 BBQ, Smoking, Grilling, Baking and Beer thread

    I did baby back ribs yesterday and had a temp issue as well. Completely my fault. I was thnking "this is only a 6 hr cook, no need to fill the BGE up all the way with charcoal" (like I typically do for longer cooks, and to be honest every time I use the egg for something longer than a 1 hr...

    Frank: Great looking steak! I've never thought to use cast iron on the grill. Can you tell me a little about the process?

    Unlimited (sort of) Ice

    I have been considering one for us as well. I really hate having to pay for ice - kind of irrational I realize. Do you just leave it on all the time or do you shut it off and restart a few days before an event?

    Official 2018 BBQ, Smoking, Grilling, Baking and Beer thread

    I picked up a Blackstone 28" and cover for about $180.00 using a CyberMonday deal. Looking forward to getting some use out of it shortly. Chris: How long did the turkey take in the egg? I might want to give that a try.

    Yup, this must be Georgia!

    My son is in school in Dahlonega and is very surprised at the wild swings in temperature.

    What did you do to your pool today?

    OPENED IT! Power-washed the deck set all the furniture - all I need is a little sun and I will be all set.

    And now, a Few Words on Food Safety & Proper Handling

    To distill it into pool terms..... If the BBQ had some sort of buffer against getting to a bad temperature (CYA), the bacteria (CC) would not have been an issue. :o) Good points all around, and as an avid tailgater this is good advice.

    Other Peoples Pools (LONG)

    My wife says (with pride) that I am a pool snob. Neither of us will swim in anything other than our pool for the most part. Our kids are a little less discerning, but we refuse to let them swim in something dangerous. 2 of my wife's sisters have pools and I am not getting into either of them...

    We should come up with a new term

    How about shock process? It covers shock which is easily recognizable, and process which is what we preach.

    How much concrete decking should we get around our pool?

    Initially I would say get as much as you think you need, then double it. We have a 16' x 36' fiberglass pool. Our deck is along these lines: 4' wide along one of the 36' side, 10' along one of the 16' side about 20' along the other 36' side and 6' along the remaining 16' side. We wish we had...

    Reverse Osmosis Your Swimming Pool YouTube Video

    Re: Reveres Osmosis Your Swimming Pool YouTube Video Very professional. Here in MD I do not think RO is common, so it was nice to see the process. It does look like you need some sort of latch to hold open the door where the hoses get attached to the truck, lots of one handed work going on. :o)

    What's your current pool temp?

    55 yesterday after our first ever opening. And yes, my 2 boys (10 & 6) jumped in. My daughter (2.5) dangled her feet in the water. Shows that she is already smarter than her brothers.
