Hey, I don't drive a minivan. I drive a Ford Flex. As I've said before, it's the ultimate dad-mobile. It's the khaki cargo shorts & white New Balance sneakers of the vehicle world.

Everybody stay calm, ESPN just confirmed the Big Ten is better than the SEC

By Coleman Bentley

Essentially the premise was this: If you had to craft a 22-man roster of active NFL players but could only pull from a single college football conference, which conference would it be? The answer, as it turns out, was a resounding Big Ten, laying to rest the long-running SEC vs. Big Ten blood feud once and for all. And even if that’s not remotely true, you have to admit that is one hell of a roster, especially when compared to the second-place SEC.

I never had a minivan.  I had two SUVs.  Most recent one was a full-sized V8 4x4 Z71 offroad package, I loved that vehicle.

Now our family is back down to two cars only. A 4x4 pickup, and a 4x4 Jeep.

my parents have one. i've only been around a couple times when they're using it so i can't say from my perspective, but they started to really like it this past year. they were doing something wrong with the lava rocks initially and it wasn't heating up very well. something about how you stack the rocks or put them in the bowl makes it more/less effective. but they figured it out and said it was putting out some good heat this year.

the golf course has a couple of these on the deck

they are nice to sit by to enjoy a cigar and a drink after the round if it's cool

don't put off much heat

they don't get much use

I have been around them in outdoor bars, I agree, the one's I've seen put out almost no heat unless you are very close to it, which makes sense. 

A wood fire gets "hottest" when you get to embers, not the flames, same with charcoal of course.  The flames are lower temperature burning volatiles that need to be burned off before you get the higher temperature volatiles burning.  That is why coal is so hot when it burns, and coking coal even hotter.

NG can never get that way.

Sankey is saying July for a decision on the season.  

I have gone from thinking it probable to very improbable.

Numbers in GA are clearly going up, R0 is over one, and this thing is getting out of hand.

They should name it Herbstreit, lol. 


And damn, I didn't realize how many soccer moms we had on this board.
That idea is only sound if they are in need of an "H" name in order to denote it as the new spot in which the govt can test H-bombs.

The heat is a concern. We are updating our back yard and my wife built a bunch of furniture. I was going to put a fire pit in the center, but those can be annoyingly smoky.  But they do get super warm. Still I think a gas one as part of a table will be the way to go.

It's like a minivan, but cool.

In a white New Balance sneaker sort of way.

We have a natural gas firepit outside, with ceramic fake fire logs, and once those heat up it actually radiates some decent heat.
