I don't think there's much to go wrong—it's just a jet of propane. I might want to see better direction or something, maybe a bigger valve, but that could get dangerous. Read more

You need to get it man. It's soooooo goooooooooooood. Read more

Yeah, that is the way to go if you're gonna have a gas grill. So much cheaper than propane, and you never have to go fill up again. Nice one! Read more

I find that the kingsford blue bag is the longest and most consistent burn. Read more

I ended up with Charcoal-only, yeah. I was hoping I would get the fast-start from the ignition system, but that part didn't really work out. I'm not giving up yet! Read more

Not a dumb question at all! There are two things that influence the temperature of fire: fuel (charcoal, propane, wood, etc) and air. And the oxygen in the air is actually more flammable than the fuel. So when you hook up the Guru, you close the bottom vent on the grill, and let the device control how much air gets Read more

Yeah, I've been considering those cast iron grates. They look awesome. Just what I need! More toys! Read more

Disagree. He's the architect of Facebook's privacy policy, so he understands it and controls it better than anyone else. For the rest of us, the changes are not always obvious until our privacy is compromised. And then it's too late. Read more

Yeah, we all have the right to adjust our privacy settings, but they change so frequently and with no warning. Often the only time we realize it's time to change us again is once our privacy has been violated. Read more

Yeah, the .com one isn't up, but thisiswool.co.uk is. Read more

Exactly. No other company does more to erode our personal privacies than Facebook, and yet the founder isn't taking part in the transparency he's pushing so hard. We're doing this in attempt to get him to understand what it feels like to not be in control of his privacy—which is the position any facebook user is in Read more

As much as I love the story, I love even more that a self-published author could take advantage of the ease of electronic self-publishing and be so successful. Read more

That's a really smart idea. Doing this now, putting it in Dropbox. Read more
