The rectifier diodes likely went bad from old-age. They are replaceable. I’ve saved two old Schumacher’s by that method. Great, old-time brand that is serviceable/repairable…unlike the new crap sold these days.

After sitting up all night nurturing / tending the smoke….. for all the Effort and Deprivation of Sleep…. In the Morning….. The TOPif the Fire-Box was designed to serve ANOTHER purpose.. REWARD the Brisquetier !!

My set-up: (and a pic of when a door has Just-Been opened to check a brisket):

YES YES YES! (and also plead, ”please be patient”)

Send me 3 gals, … please…. an d I’ll send you some real BBQ … :geek:

Like so many things these days….. Valvoline, formerly a U.S. firm, is now owned by …. Aramco.

Well…. I’ll just Have To jump in with my FORD story! LOL I found a gov’t-green ‘51 Ford F-3 sitting on a lot that had been a U.S. Agriculture truck with a 1/4” steel bed. It had a U.S. Ag shield on the glovebox door. That entire truck was H.D. steel. Six cyl, 3-speed on the column, 6-Volt...

Perhaps I mis-read it. Kind regards….

If it isn’t started…. there won’t Be any condensation. I’m always perplexed to hear someone say they‘ll start some engine that has been sitting for months and “run it until it gets warm”… to “keep it oiled”…. etc etc. That’s about the worst thing you can do, IMO. Starting it up…getting it...

That original drain field was laid out in ‘97. It became blocked/filled completely with small roots until they stopped all distribution. We ran a “roto-rooter” thru it…with no effect at all….and the septic folks informed me the only solution was a completely new drain field. They estimated...

My Kubota calls for “ethylene glycol” type. To me…that’s Prestone. And COLOR doesn’t mean a DAMM THING! There IS NO STANDARD COLOR SPECIFICATIONS for anti freeze. Each mfr’r does whatever his kids like and that’s all the “standard” there is. I.E., FORGET COLOR. Buy an ethylene glycol...
