That was my initial idea.  Then just any frying pot on top?

 

Not going to use my good all clad stockpot.

A cheap wok from the chinese grocery

They work GREAT for deep frying as you have less oil per surface area.

The other reasonable option is a size 11 or so Cast Iron Chicken Fry Pan.  The disadvantage of those is that they hold heat more so if you heat soak them the oil climbs.  A wok transitions quickly.

[///M5 2,833]

As for not using the all clad stockpot.  Mine has been sitting direct on a fire before.  It won't hurt anything if it isn't enamel'd.

[dem beats 1,223]

I was being snobby about the AllClad.  That's all.

 

I like the wok option quite a bit.  When I look for a specific wok burner set up, they look crazy expensive. Would those generic Turkey fryer/beer brewing rigs with a wok ring work?

 

 

Disregard all of that.  My Google foo was weak before.

First search this time found that.  Derp

Ooooh this tucker looks the part.  They make something in the 92,000 BTU range too...

There are a ton.  IF you want to wok with it as well, then you want one with ALL the power in the center of the pan.  Exactly why you "stir" fry.

[///M5 2,833]

I would argue it is worth doing as well.  Will still heat oil, but if you do it on HIGH you will need to stir.s

Automotive question.

Every time I do brakes it seems that the pedal feel always end up worse. Just replaced all 4 rotors and pads on the Santa Fe. Never cracked open the fluid system. The car still has plenty of stopping power but isn't as tight as it used to be.

That being said, a friend of mine needs rear brakes on his minivan. He's willing to buy me tools as payment for helping him. If there is a power bleeder that is great I would love to get one.

[Tirefryr 1,742]

Tight?  On brakes?  I don't understand.  Mushy or soft pedal? 

How many miles are on the car?  I change brake fluid every 10K and use a good synthetic fluid.  Brake fluid readily absorbs water, and it can and will do so at any time.  Same with air.  When decompressing the calipers, it is easy to introduce air into the system.  I would get some good fluid and flush it all.

 

Bleeding I do the old-fashioned way.  It's simple and it works. 

[MKader17 332]

I bled my truck the old fashioned way and it still has a fairly mushy pedal.

I put a plastic hose on the bleeder and into a water bottle with brake fluid in it. The hose is in the fluid.

Open valve, pump a few times. Check to make sure the master has enough fluid, check to make sure the bottle isn't full. Repeat until fluid coming out was clean. Repeat for all 4 corners.

[///M5 2,833]

If i bleed out of order my pedal gets mushy.  Last time i flushed needed the snapon computer to cycle the antilocks to blow out the air out of it.  That being said if they get worsr when you bleed it means you are adding air.

You're bleeding incorrectly.  Every time that pedal comes up in this scenario, you're pulling air into the system.

You need to pump the brakes until hard, hold the pedal, and have your helper open the bleeder valve until your foot goes to the floor.  Quickly close the valve and repeat the process.

Find the proper procedure for your particular vehicle.  They don't always go from furthest to closest, so you can easily introduce air, or not remove the air.

You don't need the computer.  The ABS pump will bleed air on it's own.  You just need to find a nice parking lot or empty road and get up some speed and slam on the brakes several times.  This will engage the pump and it will bleed the air on it's own.

That's why the line runs into the bottle under the fluid level in the bottle.

I should also add that the bottle is placed higher than the bleed port to force the initial air in the tube up in the tube and not into the air system.

That being said. I'll try the buddy method this next time as I'll have a buddy to help.

[Tirefryr 1,742]

Your method is still flawed.  The bleeder screws have threads that even when mechanically sealed can leak air.  As soon as that pedal comes back up, that piston retracts and guess what displaces the fluid. . . .

There was a lot of air in mine when I put on the Wilwoods.  Probably could have had less, but had access to the scanner so I used it.  My truck it is not furthest to nearest either...although for the final bleed it works better that way.

Damn you.

Brakes....

 

So I took my car in, and even though my brakes are shit and need repairs the BMW factory refresh made it  better.

 

That's all I have to add.

[///M5 2,833]

Hmm, BMW has been asked to replace my motor.

Thank you! That makes perfect sense!

What do you do if you need to bleed brakes but don't have a friend. Make friends?

They find your built esky so fascinating they are going to replace the motor for you so they can benchmark your current one for their upcoming americanized SUV?

[///M5 2,833]

Have an X3 as well.
