You might be right. I could find a few obscure references to baking soda having some magical cleaning ability in addition to the near universal...
So these things have no bricks or anything? Just metal on the inside?
Lots of modern "cast iron" stoves are really welded steel plate stoves with a second layer of cast iron sort of hung onto some tabs around the...
Isn't the soda in the above clip really just being used as an abrasive? Well, that plus the scrubby green side of his sponge? It's not soap after all.
Redneck is an adder. Like a redneck ceramics engineer. They usually are less likely to get stuck in “analysis paralysis” where they can’t make a...
Phew, I’m in time. First year is not too late. Get into civil engineering! Actually, just take the prerequisites for civil, mechanical, and even...
Everybody should have a couple frozen pizzas stashed in the icebox for an emergency.
Every batch of cider I make gets a dose of potassium sorbate along with backsweetening as it goes into the keg. The sorbate prevents a new...
Emissions and efficiency are not related. It is easy to have good marks in one or the other but getting both takes a smart design. Long burn...

The noncats can have very low emissions. Very similar to cat stoves. Emissions don’t really favor either technology in real life and in gph. The...
why not? I’ve capped 12oz and 22 oz. It should cap anything the right size for standard caps.
I’ve even been having good luck with the plastic bbq brush. Don’t want those metal bristles stuck in your innards. preheat the bbq to sanitize...
No. Not when compared to a good cat stove.
Two other reasons I can think of to crown cap a swing top bottle in commercial brewing is tamper proofness and machinery. Simple machines put in...
I started fires in both a cat stove and a noncat this morning. The noncat is way easier and faster to start. Almost immediately clean chimney...
Rather than a bimetallic coil I suspect we will see a simple thermo controller that uses a thermocouple, a little stepper motor, and a computer to...
[ATTACH] [ATTACH] Put up a batch over the weekend. Now keeping the barn warm enough for proper fermentation.
If the stove, at its lowest output setting is still making too much heat for your home but you still need some heat to keep it comfortable in your...
