It's a rural thing.
Old houses were cold, really cold during winter and you have the fireplace going perpetually during winter time, using some of that heat to cook is just common sense.
Now in a modern home like mine is not that important but i'm still optimizing and saving energy so.. why not ?

It's an indoor fireplace, coals itself doesn't smoke unless some greasy/oily fall over it.

Tricky questions, google translate doesn't help when we are naming meat cuts !
The italian mames of the beef cut am i using is called " fusello " and comes from the shoulder of the adult beef.
The italian for sausage is " salsiccia " and every zone have a different way to make it, everyone also claim to make the best one.
The one i use is the one from central Italy ( where I'm from, my family moved from Naples when mom was pregnant) and is made with pork meat mostly second quality meat.
I've used " second quality " a lot in this thread and since i don't want to get misunderstood is time to explain that too!
All the cuts I'm talking about are fresh and very good, they are " second quality " because they are not tender or more fat, for the american friends who smoke beef, the cut are you smoking is considered " second quality/ low quality " in Italy because is fat and if not cooked properly is also hard to chew .

How many of them can you replace with a keypad or otherwise keyless lock? The real answer here is less keys whenever possible.

Got one from my high school and one from my Master's team! One stays in my camp kit as my go to waterproof layer. Being able to tuck the tail under me has been great on and off the water. The hood rolls into the collar on mine too.

Do you ever actually buy wide shoes? Just trying to gauge how wide you mean when you say it.

Low to medium heat until dry. Most technical pieces are pretty quick to dry, so it may only take 20-30 minutes.

Most companies suggest drying anything with a dwr coating (this includes many gortex garments, even membrane jackets require a dwr layer to prevent the jacket wetting through). Drying with heat renews this coating, washing also helps clear dirt from the dwr layer which increases waterproofness/breathability.

How come? Arcyterx state to:
> place the garment in a tumble drier on a medium heat setting (40°C / 104°F) for 40 to 50 minutes.
Is that a bad plan?

I would like to take this opportunity to ask people to never ever dry their technical gear with heat
Edit: idk apparently I'm wrong

I got mine rowing as well. I like the extra flap you could pull down if needed.

Reply to comment by 5spd4wd in WIRED computer mouse. I'm particularly interested in one with a cable that will not fray. They seem to fray very shortly after I get them. I want the cable to be like a quarter of an inch thick. I don't care if the thing weighs 5 lbs. My budget is $200. by TheJawsofIce
I have never had an issue like that with a Logitech mouse, but I get the concern.
