Anyone else besides @adydula have super stuck knob? Mine does, won't budge

Edit: on Vali 3

I removed the two screws on the backside and lifted the cover slightly off. The pulled on the knob. It did come off but it was with way too much force.
The knob came off but it pulled out the pot internals! To bend out those tabs took a lot of force. Not good. In my case I was able to clean and re-install the pot internals just fine.

If you really want to take it off for a different knob then I would send Schiit a note and ask how they do this to fix returns?
Possible they apply a heat gun to warm up the "glue"...you could try this. I would wrap some heat reflective material between the case and knob...or maybe a damp cloth.

Secondly if you dont ever want the original knob you could carefully dremel tool it off.....again you can scratch the case if not judicious etc...I have done this in the past. Slow and easy.

I knew so could pry the info out of you if I worked at it. After this I may try for Texas brisket. https://coopersbbq.com/welcome-to-the-online-store-main-page/?

Coopers was one of our favorites, they had one location in Blanco, a nice 20 minute hill country drive from our house.

Thanks for this information. I have never thought of the ROI associated with home roasting. Roasted bean prices are rising significantly, while counterintuitively, the weight of a bag goes down. A bag used to be a true pound of 16oz, now a bag is 12oz.

So check out sweetmarias website. If you buy in 5# bags, you get excellent coffee at around $6-9 a pound. Green beans keep literally forever (practically). So I just roast 1/2 pound of caf, and 1/2 pound of decaf approx every 10 days; keeping the fresh roast in air tight lid containers. Given that the closes replacement already roasted is more like $13-15 a pound, you can do the maths.

Cheaper. More choices. Perfect roast to taste. Fresher. What’s not to like?

I now only ever buy roasted if I have a long run of weather where I can’t use my roaster out on the back screened porch. Roasting makes epic amounts of smoke. You can use it under a kitchen vent hood, but only if it’s a proper one venting directly outside, those over-stove combo microwave/stove fans will NOT cut it.

LOL! Nope, I turned around and went back inside. He was sunning him/herself. We have a lot of experience here, kinda like NC BBQ. We know a 13 ft gator when we see one. Tip for all you newbies. If being chased by a gator, don't try to out run it. You'll lose. Instead zig/zag and you'll have a much better chance..... LOL

And take some chicken with you. It makes a good diversion.

From our dining room window, this past Saturday. Good thing Mom likes foxes!

In our lower yard. Crow going after eagle eating ex-possum. Wildlife everywhere!

I have so much music I want to hear, and recommendations coming from so many directions that I tend to make my own choices for the most part. Often I am trying to let my wife enjoy it as well and she is not a fan of jazz. Fortunately we agree on other music. She is also a good sport if I demo Daft Punk and such.

How does she appreciate Marilyn Manson?
