hmmm... maybe, but it's like 40-45mm shorter than the old one! Since I'm all jaded I'm more inclined to say that's the section of tubing they had kicking about when I sent it back the second time and told them to do it right. *shrugs*

Either way, I'm pretty happy with the way I've got it dialed in now... but I won't be buying another one for sure.

In other news, I got a kick ass deal on an entire pork loin today The best part was the look on the hardware store guy's face when I asked him if I should use a fine or coarse tooth hacksaw blade for bone. (coarse, BTW)
