We had some problems with the extractor, but were able to diagnose and fix them with the addition of a bearing spacer between the frames holding cage and the bottom stabilizer. We all recalled a similar problem last year and a similar solution, but the extractor arrived without the extra spacer and the same grinding problem. There needs to be some better information/instructions provided so the extractor doesn’t get ruined.

We were there over six hours in all, and it was a sticky affair, but a good time was had by all. Kristien stopped by with her brother, before a trip to the airport, and then returned after. Thanks to Liz for providing some country ham sliders. We found it a treat to slide the bun under the running honey for a honey ham effect. That was delicious.
