that will not be safe today with the nearly 50 MPH winds coming up... we need to be respectful of each others point of views and differing ways....
as i do enjoy running my smoker in the summer, please accept that i do understand the value of a good wood fire and wood smoke, but that there are practical issues at play here.Polk Lsi9

You know whats funny is that there is probably a microwave enthusiast community out there and theyve had this exact same conversation. I mean if there are enthusiast groups for walking and cross stitching, why not microwaves? We're probably pissing a lot or people off right now making fun of their hobby. :biggrin:polkaudio sound quality competitor since 2005

Certainly some microwaves must operate on different frequencies, giving some the upper hand in penetration of different packaging material and speed. A hi-fi version of the microwave so to speak. Maybe a tube powered microwave is in your future.HT SYSTEM-

Two words: Jiffy Pop. Did you know that Jiffy Pop originated with the Vikings ?
It has been a little slow lately. I think that's due to a number of "old timers" and Polk officials who attended the CES convention in Vegas are having a hard time making bail. They were warned not to wander over to the AVN convention.Sal Palooza -

I removed the IEC connector and hard wired my EMO with a generic 18/3 power cord.The reduction in resistance from the improved mechanical connection has wrought huge sonic gains the amp taking on a toob like quality.:cheesygrin:
You'll double the power output going with 18/1. That way it has to use all the power going into it thus doubling output.

I cannot belive that in all this very penetrating analysis of "popcorning" that nobody has mentioned that there is really only one popcorn for true aficionados -- Black Jewel!
