The coyotes made off with the dinner’s lamb chops off the smoker ?
Reminded me of a Patrick F. McManus story, POOF! No Eyebrows!

Does the Dingo have your baybeee?
It happened to me this afternoon. A little screw from the log splitter air filter disappeared into the snow. I filled a bucket of hot water to melt the snow away and poof, it reappeared! A good screw it was.
Good and wet, apparently.

Not a chance with 2 dogs, who think they're the personal security of the grill & smoker.

Sounds a lot like the air soluble springs used in many guns.

Poof. Lost the torque wrench I was using just like that today. No idea where it ended up.

Takedown detent spring?
One minute it's there, next minute, it's gone.
Sounds like my bank account balance after the Christmas shopping with the wife.

Spent 15 minutes looking for the micro C clip for the dust cover last night!!! Well, my floor is super clean now. Luckily I found it.

The detent itself also tends to disappear into thin air after it flies about 10 feet. Glad I spent the money on the tool to install the pivot pin after trying to build a few lowers without it...think I spent as much for the extra detents and springs.
Maybe it?s luck or maybe it?s a habit of being extra careful with everything I do but I?ve never had small springs and pins go sailing on me.
But, because I know it happens, I have plenty of spare pins, springs, and e-clips in stock. Just in case.

Local hardware store, IIR they're 4 mm e clips. About $3 for a 5 pack

Detent tool. Like this one for $0.60? Hand the extras out to friends or fellow shooters
