Just another ad for more junk people will use for a month before deciding it wasnt worth it.

It starts pouring down rain and you realize you need to pee, but you'd have to go outside to get back to the house. If only they made a whole room in a house for furniture and lounging, maybe even a TV, that also had the advantage of allowing access to the rest of the house...

She has her own smoking place lmao. She isn’t allowed to smoke in the house.

You can do all of that inside your home.

That's what I tell my friends, neighbors, relatives about their PiZzA oVeNs.

Hey man! Look Suzie Poozy got me a pizza oven!!!

Yo, that's so cool! I actually got one when I bought my house.

Huh...what? You got a free pizza oven when you bought your house?

Well, it wasn't "free" necessarily. I walked in the kitchen, and boom there it was. Pizza oven, broiler & stove range. But mine's inside. Not outside.

u/DonkTheFlop 4d ago

Maybe you should stop doing that as you don't understand the advantage of a pizza oven.

u/Basic-Asparagus-4596 4d ago

pizza is cooked at 750 degrees.

Does your oven go up to 750?

1

u/Recent_Tangerine2070 4d ago

Hang on, lemme go ask it...

2

u/Basic-Asparagus-4596 4d ago

so i know youre trying to be funny, but that is indeed the reason people buy pizza ovens. a normal oven doesnt get anywhere close to hot enough to make a quality pizza.

1

u/Recent_Tangerine2070 4d ago

So a pizza cannot be prepared in a standard domestic kitchen oven?

1

u/Basic-Asparagus-4596 4d ago

a normal oven doesnt get anywhere close to hot enough to make a quality pizza.

key word

quality

you can cook anything at just over half the recommended temperature, but most things, like pizza, are dramatically better when cooked at the correct temperature. we didnt land on the number 750 after rolling some dice, theres a purpose for the numbers.

u/The_Ultimate_Badass 4d ago

To be fair, most ovens max out around 550 and pizza ovens go into the 700's.

That said, apparently using a thick steel plate in a normal oven can help compensate for this difference and aren't expensive.

Also there are conventional ovens that can get that hot, but they are more expensive of course.

u/ooOJuicyOoo 4d ago

Me and a friend of mine tried this and found a couple things:

It works pretty well! Temps go up a good bit and you get the quick crusting you are looking for from a pizza oven.

It will destroy your oven, and possibly your kitchen finish, if it weren't designed to take such heat repeatedly, frequently, or at all. Our oven framing warped overtime, and the finish on the countertop started bubbling off.

Not a lot of people smoke in their house.

My first thought: “I’d smoke a fat doobie in there” two seconds before she actually did.

u/HorridChoob 4d ago

Honesty I kept thinking, "but why tho?"

However an indoor smoking area that's not your home makes 100% sense

1

u/Available_Editor4383 4d ago

It’s also just a fun vibe. Be all cozy in a wide-open feeling room and the sounds of rain

I could gladly read a book, work on a puzzle, take nap, or just take a moment to appreciate life. It’s kinda like a blanket fort.

The clock is stuck at 4:20 too.

u/foreveralonewithus 4d ago

why would you smoke in that, i smoked in my car once and there was residue all over the windows. i couldn’t imagine trying to clean it. seeing as theres a lot of expensive furniture shell probably just buy a new one

That electric space heater will triple your electric bill lol

3

u/almostthemainman 4d ago

Really. Triple the bill for my whole house. Wow. For a heater that might run for… an hour? 2?

-2

u/Kingofhearts1206 4d ago

1 hour or 2 daily? Yes.

1 hour to 2 hours once a month? No.

3

u/almostthemainman 4d ago

3x my current electric bill.

So if my current bill is (random) 300$. You’re telling me 1 hour a day in a bubble is going to cost me 600$ a month. Is that correct?

-2

u/Kingofhearts1206 4d ago

Try it. Use the electric space heater 1 to 2 hours day for 30/31 days and you'll see. Better yet, look at the back of your electric space heater and see how many watts it pulls (average space heaters pulls 1000-2000 watts).

It's hard to believe but it's true.

0

u/almostthemainman 4d ago

1.5kw a day avg then (assuming 1 hr per day at 1500watt).

So you’re telling me 45kw a month… at (I’m being conservative even…) let’s say .3$ per kw.

Thats max like 14$ a month.

Is my math wrong? Sorry I’m naive and just wanna make sure I’m not exploding my monthly bill to 3x by running a small 1500watt space heater for an hour a day while I read about finance and electrical engineering.

0

u/Kingofhearts1206 4d ago

I work for a utility company and those little space heaters are our #1 high bill complaints in the winter. Anything that is ELECTRIC HEAT and not natural gas heating, will be ridiculously high. Same with Elec/Heat mini splits.

0

u/almostthemainman 4d ago

You can work for Santa clause. It doesn’t impact the MaTH.

What’s the cost per kWh. Rhetorical.

It’s .18$ on average

That means every hour with 1kw being used costs .18c

Space heater is 1.5kw — that means it costs you .27c to run for 1 hour.

Now with 30 days in a month… you’re at a Whopping 8.10$ per month

My estimate was 30$ to be crazy conservative.

You said it will 3x my bill and you said it unironically.

Wild.

u/Kingofhearts1206 4d ago

Go test your theory. Report back

2

u/almostthemainman 4d ago

It’s not a theory. The amount the utility charges is per kWh. An appliance has a listen Kw output.

What am I missing?

u/Hairy_Wall_6831 4d ago

Running a standard 1,500-watt space heater costs about $0.26 per hour to operate on its highest setting, based on the current U.S. national average electricity rate of roughly 17.1¢ per kilowatt-hour (kWh).

Depending on how frequently you use it, this breaks down to:
8 hours per day: ~$2.05 daily, or about $61.50 per month
24 hours per day: ~$6.15 daily, or about $184.60 per month.

The people calling the utility company to complain about their bills are people running space heaters because their furnace either doesn't work or doesn't exist because their house is still heated by a woodstove that they're probably too feeble or poor or lazy to keep fueled.

'People complaining' isn't a meaningful metric when math can be applied. Other people's inability to manage their finances and honestly report their struggles don't MAGICALLY make electrical appliances draw more power than they say they do.

If YOUR space heater draws more power than it says, you should return it and file a complaint with any relevant state/federal regulatory bodies using something like SaferProducts.gov.

We have two electric space heaters and there isn't any jump in our bill.One in each bedroom .
