    When the rings are stacked, are they interlocked somehow?

    That iGrillmini looks pretty cool. ICEMAN, the unit has a temp probe with a wire attached that is intended to be put inside the meat inside the grill with the wire routing to the outside to the unit. I have a $5 probe thermometer that will do the same thing, if you don't need anything that fancy.

    So I wonder if it could be put inside the cooker.... I didn't read all the info,,, will go back and see JUST HOW IT WORKS... thanks mudpuppy!
    It's magnetic to stick the unit to the grill - optional. You don't need the magnet. And for $39.99 I would consider it a basement bargain for that much technology. I wish they would hurry up and come out with the android version. Yes it is pretty fancy indeed. But in a good way. Not useless fancy but lots of good usefulness in the technology.

    Default Baking My IQ Pearl!!! Will test it out tongiht on leauge if the snow stops1!!! GRRRR

    One thing I did to keep the rings togerther, (they can be a pain in the ask!!) I put it together then glued it up and down on three sides with a dab of super glue! Seems to be working.

    I am baking my IQ pearl the ball that gave me my first 300! It was one heck of a ball then it just seemed to die. I now think it was the oil!!! It will be interesting to see how much comes out

    I used two furniture clamps and a 2 x 6 to hold them together tight while gluing them!

    Default What a FRICKEN let DOWN!!

    Got it all glued set up, glued together, put my IQ pearl in after sanding 4 sides temperature, right at 140-135! NOTHING!!
    Put my 2 year old Red Alien in 30 minutes,,, NOTHING!

    Put my marauder madness in 30 minutes,,, NOTHING!

    Damn,,, Iceman must do a great job of wiping his balls, and cleaning them after use!

    NOT A DAMN DROP,,, Bone dry!!

    What's a guy have to do to get some fluid out of his balls???

    two things,,, I did sand four sides with 500 pad,,, Did check the temperature with a gauge,,, it was right on the money!
    I could smell the oil,,,, but noting to wipe off, on the bottom of the cooker!

    Sometimes fluids are a little stagnant in old balls - just saying.

    LOL,,,, They are less then a year old, I know,,, hard to believe, but true!!

    I had them transplanted from the Pro Shop to me not that long ago,,, maybe 8 months.... James did a remarkable job of preparing them! I feel the oil will come gushing out as they get more use!

    I have so many balls, that maybe the problem is they actually don't have any oil in them? I will try one of my oldest ones today, the Titanium! Maybe oil will gush out of it...

    How much time passed before you checked them? I don't even bother lifting the lid before 30 minutes has passed. If you soaked them longer than that, and there wasn't much oil in them to begin with, is it possible you cooked it off? That's not good either.

    Second thing, the balls may be a year old, but how many games on oily conditions and actually in the oil, were they?

    The only ball's that I get oil out of are my heavy or med-heavy oil balls, like the Wicked Siege and Taboo Jet black, and my wife's Cyclone, but she's a straight roller, right down the middle of the lane in the heaviest of oil every time. The other balls don't come out o fthe bag till the oil is all but gone, so they aren't going to soak up as much, because there isn't much to soak up.

    Pearls don't absorb much oil.

    Hummmm,,, do polished balls absorb less? Reason I ask, I know that CAR WAX with is different then Polish, (Water beads up beautifully after an application of WAX). Does Polish repel lane conditioner/oil ???

    I guess you can have a pearl ball without polish, but off hand I can't think of any! I wounder how a peal ball like say the IQ Pearl would react without polish? I assume it would burn up, and lose its snap at the end.... humm
