RE: Starlight 1000 (motion light)
Just a follow-up. I was NOT offered a new unit, just free shipping if I purchased a new one.
I have changed most of my lights to LED's and will be doing so with the new Starlight. As I said in the original post, I believe the problem may have been caused by the heat generated by the conventional bulb. That being said, the fixture still shouldn't degrade to that extent and should have been designed to take the heat.

RE: Smoke chips with the Weber Q
With my Weber Q 200 I use a cleaned tuna can as a chip holder. I use the chips meant for the Little Chief Smoker, they're of a much smaller grind than regular "chips."
I put the can on the grill and let it begin to smoke before adding the meat.

Starlight 1000 (motion light)
Just a heads-up on the Star Light 1000 Star Light 1000 . I’ve had one for about 3 years and it has worked well. Recently, I had to change the bulb (it burned out), and when I went to unscrew the lens cover to access the bulb, the screw posts disintegrated. The posts are what the lens screws go into in the fixture base. By disintegrated, I mean that the plastic they were made of has degraded to the point that each post just fell apart as I tried to unscrew the lens cover.
My 5th wheel has been parked for the last 2 years (health problems) and the fixture has been in shade the whole time. I keep my 5er hooked up to house power 24/7/365 to maintain the batteries and for occasional use. I can only surmise that the problem is due to heat created by the light coming on and degrading the plastic. Perhaps the plastic that the fixture is made of is not up to the task?
I emailed the company and they offered me free shipping on a new unit (the old one was out of warranty). No explanation or reason for the plastics’ failure.
Just a warning for those of you that have one installed or are thinking of installing one.

RE: EZ Flex installation cost?
As always everyone here came through!!! :)
I'm glad to hear that the install is within my price range, and I'll definitely look at buying the product either direct or from a different source.
Thanks everybody!

RE: Wright Brand Bacon
Costco Applewood bacon. Comes in 2 x 2lb packs (4lb total) works out to about $4 per pound. Thick sliced and with careful selection (look for the pack with the most meat/less fat) it's a bargain; good too!

EZ Flex installation cost?
Has anybody had an EZ Flex suspension system installed on their 5er? If so about how much did the installation cost? The parts will set me back about $240.
Thanks
