persistence pays!Little girl and I ran a bunch of errands today. One was dropping off the fryer at the propane shop for them to go over it, fix anything that needs fix and just make sure it's safe to operate. They're going to put the correct fitting on and make a custom hose to attach to my system. Good bunch of guys up there.
We then stopped down at an Amish bakery that we talked to about supplying us with "Fry Pies". A puff pastry treat filled with various fruits. They're amazing when we put them under the broiler for a couple of minutes. We thought we were going to have a problem selling them because for us to sell another businesses product, they have to be labeled with ingredients, manufacturer and weight and we've never seen those labels on them. Turns out they have the labels, they just don't apply them unless they're being sold wholesale. Yay, we can sell fry pies.
We stopped by an Amish farm store to talk about setting up there sometimes. While he was rather stoic in his reply, but I think overall it was positive. He said he had to talk to his partner about it. I had to drop some names so he knows I'm in the community, and my hard sell tactic, offer his employees discounts when we're there.
Went down to the metal shop to drop off a drawing of a drawer I need made. With the fryer, I built a frame similar to the one the griddle is on. I made it so there's space for a large drawer for utensil storage. Also gave them a bunch of cinnamon twists from the Amish bakery. Giving treats like that gets work done faster.
We're looking to a start date of November 1st, with a grand opening event on November 10th or 11th. Which is one year since I killed a horse and started this entire thing rolling. We don't plan on shutting down over winter like other trucks do. We'll be out hustling all winter long cause it stays warm in the trailer.
Yeah, I'm over paying in that the past couple of days. I put primer on the new stand for the fryer yesterday, it was so hot out, it set almost immediately. Same thing today with the black paint. I also finally got in the correct digital thermostat for the fridge late this afternoon, and got it wired in. It's running now. Problem is, it only does Celsius, my brain doesn't work that way. I know 0, and -40 everything else, I have no point of reference. Cue the American/Metric jokes.Looking great Brother!! Lots of ”Sweat Equity” going in to your project for sure!
Simple, label maker with acceptable range. Inside range good, Outside range bad.I also finally got in the correct digital thermostat for the fridge late this afternoon, and got it wired in.

Nope, not from a cartoon.Duck Dodgers?
Fryer is back from the shop and it works perfectly. He did recommend having the thermocouple replaced but it's functional for now.
Much of the wire out there today is CCA, Copper Cladded Aluminum.
