MORE KLIPSCH PLEASE Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 Good Saturday to all... What a great weekend this is gonna be... weather wise... Got a few friends coming over this evening for a back yard fire. But not just any fire..... a Disk Fire!! That's right a Disk Fire... what is a disk fire you say???? I am proclaiming my self inventor of this "Disk Fire". It came too me a few weeks back when I built the 1st one. I got a small Oak tree taken down that was next to the house. The tree was dead big time... The tree guys left the wood for me. It had a maybe a 10" dia. at the base. So again not real big. So it just came to me... what if I cut the the logs into disks about two inches thick or so..... stack the disks into a circle for the base and just work my way up... making it smaller as I go up... like a cone shape. The inside of this cone is hollow so I filled up the inside with all the sawdust from the disks I cut up. I put some other wood inside also. Once complete I soaked the top with lighter fluid and set it on fire. It took alittle while for it to get going.... but once it did it burned great... as it burns the disks just fall into the center and burn. My friends that came over that night were quite impressed with this Disk Fire. I'll put some pics up later of the Disk Fire.... gotta get out and start cutting some disks.... the tree that i had taken down is gone. So last week I took the old Ford down the road next to the shop into the woods and cut down a few old dead trees. Later... MKP :-) 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

richieb Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 ^^^^^ Very cool. Yep, mine is stove top model too, just like your small aluminum model. With the amount of Joe you consume you must keep those little guys very busy?! But probably just use for a quick brew like I do ---? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also have the boxes for those too.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rplace Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 After a few cocktails during the UofM PSU game last night I need some coffee. Sadly, like Michigan's, loss this is the end of this bag. Hank Mobley on my cables. Fitting packaging for the season 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rplace Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 Thanks, no scale just the standard Vario. What a difference a nice grinder makes. I do use a scale, not time, for espresso. Funny that a good grinder can cost more than a middle-of-the-road espresso machine. Ha, @dirtmudd I had to look up kief. So no. You learn something new everyday so I guess I'm already done for today. I do use my old grinder for spices. Might need a 3rd now. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rplace Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 Funny that you linked to the Sylvia comparison. Those are the two machines I had it narrowed down to. Could not swing the extra $$$ given I really wanted that grinder. I ended up modding the Gaggia by installing the Silvia steam wand. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
