Rancher pulled from Tampa Home Depot

[MostLarge]

I just noticed that Rancher was pulled from the floor at my local HD.
I noticed the SKU sticker was gone also and was replaced by an extra pallet of Kingsford.

I wonder if they have stopped selling Rancher.

Anyone else see this happen?

I took a peek over at ours last night...they still had 1/2 a pallet. It's kind of hidden though.

 

[BBQ Grail]

Yea! Here we go again.

 

[VGuilford]

It's a conspiracy.

 

[timzcardz]

Would a moderator just add this to the end of the really long rancher thread?

 

[Mark]

It's a conspiracy.

Was it made in China and contaminated with PCB's?

 

[Bill-Chicago]

I heard a report in the Sentinel that found a link to Rancher (and 3 other brands) giving off too high of volume of phosphorus carbonate and was found to be unsafe to use with food.

I'll try and dig up the article from this week.

Looks like Florida might just be the quickest to take action.

FL - Being made up primarily of carbonate would natrually be the first to react. Gov Jeb takes the carbonate issue very seriously. As a licensed professional geologist in FL I understand the concern. Jeb's gotenough going on having to answer for you-know-who (having spoiled his own presidential asperations) without having to worry about a carbonate catastrophy

I hear you.

But actually, this link might have a positive outcome.

By modifying the technology used to make Rancher charcoal, a hybrid industry of phosphoric acid fuel cells might take its place, thereby adding jobs to the economy, and helping the environment, instead of harming it.

It is a really exciting development

Interesting hypothesis, but you miss the primary danger of phosphoric acid. As every one knows, due to Florida being just high enough above sea level that people can live there any drop in elevation would be catastrophic. If you couple the erossional effects of phosphoric acid with the rise in sea level as a result of an increase in morbidly obese people having ocean-front homes Florida could disappear below the wave in a very short period of time just like Atlantis. In fact, the phosphoric acid issue is such a big deal that Gov Jeb is thinking of banning coke because of its high concentrations of that very acid. The problem is that people throw half-full cans away, and it leaches out of the landfills and is rapidly dissolving the state away as we watch and Jeb plays his fiddle, but since Jeb doesn't play the fiddle, this isn't going to happen on his watch...

No; in temperate climates it is better for the environment to clear cut all the forests. (This has actually been proposed)

Can one of the moderators change the title of this to 'The BS Thread"?

No, no, not at all.

I was just saying that exploring putting phosphoric acid to good use, from the bad use of the Rancher charcoal, was a good thing. The alternative usage of turning bad into good, can only be a good thing.

Take the chemicals in question for example. To just look at converting the phosphorus side of the equation would be half assed. When we look at the exciting developments in alternative fuels by combining the research into the carbonate usage, we end up with a "win-win" situation for everyone.

My friends at the DOE also have a model they have been tinkering with on this.

I tell you, after starting to research Jorge's solar energy thread, I am amazed at how much this stuff is intertwined with barbecue related stuff.

Oh I see, this is a diagram of one of them "reverse flow" barbecues.

 

[leanza]

Has anyone considered the "carbon footprint" factor in all this?

 

[BBQ Grail]

I was thinking we all could get some carbon credits out this thread.

 

[ipls3355]

I think you really need to research the benifits of gassification

However, I don't think Florida has the geology for deep well CO2 sequstration

Ohhhhh... I beg to differ! Florida is susceptible to liqufaction!
