Jockey wheels for life
...or as close as you can manage. After years of the bushes in the standard plastic ones wearing out and not having much luck with the bearings seizing in the cheaper bearing ones, I thought I'd test some posher jockey wheels for life span. I went for the mt zoom speed wheels ( http://mtzoom.com/joc...

- try to actually post on this forum instead of merely lurking - use the GoPro the OH bought me for Christmas to make some videos .., as genuine targets seem to have gone down in likelihood of completion the more I focus on them in previous years, this year I am loathe to focus on goals but instead ...

Re: Pot boiling times
Ah, OK, it was the 'not touching the ground' part of the skirt that hadn't clicked. Makes sense now. You could potentially cut, say, a set of 5mm wide tabs, maybe 10mm tall, around the bottom circumference of your skirt and bend them inwards 45 or 90 degrees. I would have thought that should improve...

Re: Pot boiling times
Agreed, the heat lost from any fins is pre-cosy (which is a phrase I find oddly pleasing, like being just about to get into a nice warm pub). When you say an aluminium skirt I'm not sure I understand you right- I wouldn't have thought that would divert the hot air from flowing up the sides?

Re: Pot boiling times
Interesting point about a finned pot cooling down faster too- I thought a removable heat exchanger with a flat ring that the pot sits on would work quite well. Much like if you took the whole thing off the bottom of the fire maple pot and turned it upside down. Another thought, I was under the impre...

Re: Pot boiling times
I think you're right- that ring at the bottom of the fins is a large surface area, probably half that of the base of the pot, and a lot of it will be dumping heat into the cold air. It would be interesting to see the boundary of high temperature air around the pot- you'd want to maximise the amount ...

Pot boiling times
Hi Folks, long time lurker, I had some thoughts on the pot boiling post on the front page so I thought I'd log in and see if anyone else thought I was talking sense or nonsense. I was interested by the fact that the boil times were so different between the finned and normal pots so I thought I'd cra...
