Getting Rid Of Outdoor Ant Hill Colonies
This spring has brought a bunch of ant colonies to our backyard, I wanted to be sure I could eliminate them all so I try 3 different ways to get rid of them. 2 homeade remedies, and 1 product. You be the judge on what worked best.
I couldn't find an Amazon link for Wilson Ant Out, but noticed they do sell it at Canadian Tire, Walmart, and Rona.

    • @HouseDadLife
      @HouseDadLife 5 днів тому

      I had to do a ton of research before building this thing, the conclusion I came to was a balancer was enough. These cells are just very stable temperature wise and chemistry wise. I've looked for a video where they start on fire, every other lithium cell becomes violent, not these guys. People have used them to replace lead acid in vehicles without even adding a balancer and that seems to work. Insane cell life, the only downside I've ever been able to find is they don't have the energy density of the other lithium chemistries. I still use this cell every 2 weeks or so, either running a battery backup, powering an inverter, or powering a spot welder, still works like the day I built it.

      @QualityHomeWinemaking 2 дні тому

      @@TonAkveld1956 This is a great question. When changing angles on a knife, the first step can take much longer to change the factory edge, instead if you already have a sharp knife at 15 degrees, use it that way, then the night time you need to sharpen it change it a degree at a time instead of going right to 20. This will save you having to take off a bunch of metal, or just stay at 15 for that knife. Pay attention to the burr when sharpening, this took me the longest to figure out. Good luck with whichever you choose to do.

    I've found it fun to have. But our power has always been on the rather low end, so I don't think it will pay for itself. But it's certainly been nice to see the information. Definitely takes a while to sort out devices. I'm always disappointed when it finds a device, then later it loses it again because the device has changed a bit somehow so the power looks different. I do wish I could tell it devices. Like turning something on and off, and then going into the app and indicating what the device is that corresponded to that usually spike. Really unfortunate it can't do that. For interest sake, we've had ours for 2 years now.

      That's a fair comment, keep in mind these were cooked from frozen, and I do have the direct heat chamber closed, I prefer it this way so I can chuck the meat on, and walk away, not come back to a remake of the movie backdraft. Cooking the same burger on gas to the same doneness took the same time when I tried it or any meat when the temps were the same. We did keep our gas bbq for a season because no one had a pellet grill at the time and we had no idea if we'd like it. I have a friend who leaves his direct heat open all the time and goes max heat, I guess to each their own, this is just how I like it I guess.

    I would disagree about no difference in smoke taste between a gas grill and a pellet grill. There shouldn't be any smoke taste from a gas grill. That gas grill taste is from heat charring portions of the meat. Smoke taste is from smoke particles infusing the meat. For example, you're not going to get a hickory or mesquite taste from a gas grill. You need the wood for that. It seems you use your pellet grill more for grilling and less for smoking. I have a different brand pellet grill which I primarily use for smoking ribs, brisket, and the like.

      Maybe I should have clarified, I'm referring to the flavour you get from the fat dripping down and vaporizing, there's still some smoke flavor from that. As far as the wood smoke flavour, yeah there would be none of that on a gas grill. You're also right about smoking, at the time I made this video I had smoked almost nothing on it. Currently that's changed in a big way, it's become my favorite and probably most used option on it.

    • @HouseDadLife
      @HouseDadLife 25 днів тому

      I use no covers and just let the rain in. Once you've added as much water back that's in the reservoir, do a complete flush and change out the solution and you're gtg.

    Hello, I’ve had about 3 PitBoss pellet grills to your one. I’m obviously not doing something right from a care/maintenance perspective. The longest I’ve had one to last is about 3 years before it’s too dilapidated to safely use. I will watch your video for tips and hopefully I can learn to take better care of a future grill. My auger was jammed on my current grill. I’ve cleared the jam, but now I need to put it back together. I was so frustrated with it, and end up buying a Ninja Outdoor Woodfire grill and haven’t went back to the PitBoss since this past November. Note-I use my PitBoss pellets in my Ninja to add the smoke flavor to the food.

      Wow, I'm really sorry to hear that. I feel like I don't take very good care of mine. It gets cleaned when I have trouble with it lighting or coming up to temp. It does get covered after every use, and I do let it go on max for about 10 min anytime we cook anything on the grill, that's it. Hopefully you have better luck in the future.

    If you have a Walmart around you, they have some burger patties that are 1/2 pound each and they are the best burger patties I have ever cooked on a grill you might give them a try. That was a really great synopsis of pellet grilling. Thanks for posting it.I just have one question, do you clean out your firebox every time you use it? I bought a pellet grill about a year ago and the firebox completely rusted out in that time however, I never vacuumed out the firebox and left peloton it all the time. I’m wondering if cleaning it out every time you use it to help with that.

    • @HouseDadLife
      @HouseDadLife 28 днів тому

      You're welcome for the video and thanks for sharing the burger. In regards to your question I do clean it out about once a month on average sometimes as little as 2 times a season, anytime it doesn't light right away or has any difficulty coming up to temp that's how I can tell its due.
