Can I vent while we sit around the campfire ?

Here is what I have learned about appliances: Don't buy them from big box hardware stores. Why? Because manufacturers make cheaper versions of their appliance models for them to sell. They are made with cheaper parts and break down more often - ask my in-laws. Don't believe me? Compare model numbers of the same appliance from an appliance store like HH Gregg and Lowes. In my recent experience both had the same french door bottom freezer model, but the model number was different. Go to the manufacturers website and you will see that they have the same model listed as the appliance store. Then check the model numbers at the box store - different. You can see them in the circulars from the newspaper as well.

The same goes for faucets. The Hardware store versions have plastic parts inside. Not trying to diss these palces. I just bought a kitchen full of appliances - in every case the model number on the manufacturers site was different than the same appliance found at the big blue hardware box store. Most true appliance stores will meet or beat prices from circulars. Some places check the internet while your standing there.

I replaced my water heater last year too - called different plumbers. Only used the lowest priced outfit that didn't get supplies from big box stores. I expect it to last a long time.

You get what you pay for folks.
