We have one and Dianne uses it often. The one issue is cooling like Edward mentioned. We too had gotten a number of requests and we cannot keep them in the shop. It's a good stop gap solution to see if they really…"

Agreed. Looking to see if we can do the whole thing in a manner that keeps the weight down so that it can bemoved easily and is durable enough to withstand the moving and workload.

Pierre (Pete) Trinque replied to Andy Ciordia's discussion DIY Guitar"Andy,
I have a welding buddy who says he can put one together with alum. but I have to say, the one Clay shows is very interesting. The only downside I see is the required footprint. It's a manual version of what SG is selling…"
Pierre (Pete) Trinque replied to beth campbell's discussion looking for foil supplier"Clay,
Thanks for the info, we will check Frank's site out. The next question is the printer outerwrappers. Is that something we do locally or is there an on-line source.

Michelle Lian liked Pierre (Pete) Trinque's discussion Local Regulations for opening a Chocolate Shop. Kitchen- Yes or No?"Thanks for sharing, I haven't been able to find 100 watt bulbs for some time now and was wondering about why. I've been using the 95w but even those are getting hard to find.

Pierre (Pete) Trinque replied to Matt Carter's discussion Chocolate going down the drain"We just opened our shop in March of 2010 and one of the reasons why was because we needed to find a facility with a grease trap (County Code).
We have been told by another chef to run a pan of boiling hot water down the drain once every few…"
Nancy Nadel commented on Pierre (Pete) Trinque's blog post Hilliard owners in the US, have you stocked up on your 100w light bulbs yet?"I have an ACMC which also requires such bulbs. Last time one went out the only thing close I could find was 95w which works but I don't know if those will become extinct as well."

As of Sunday Jan. 1, 2012 retailers can only sell their remaining inventory of 100w incondecent lightbulbs. This is to make way for the new effecient bulbs. That could be a problem for us Hilliard melter owners because the Little Dipper and the mid-range unit are heated by these 100w bulbs. There is an article in the online version of the USAToday talking about this and there does not seem to be a need to run out and grab all you can today. However, it is coming and I wanted you to be…See More

Pierre (Pete) Trinque replied to Daniel Herskovic's discussion What's your dream machine?"I'm dreaming of a Selmi with Enrober. Our business is growing to the point that it may shift from a dream to a necessity. The question I have for you is about your Perfect Enrober. We looked at it in Philly last year. …"
Pierre (Pete) Trinque replied to David Marcoe's discussion If Selmi is the Cadalac what is a JKV and why?"David,
Not sure if I'll be of much help, but here are my thoughts. We opened our shop in March and are currently using 3 Hilliard machines. We bought them used and sent them back to be refurbished last year. They are…"
