The Big-Bore Chronicles

I recently had occasion to check my gun safe dehumidifier and found it wasn’t working. Upon inspecting the situation a little further this is what I found. This was a “Dri-Rod” and it was completely corroded internally. I’m not quite sure how something like this could get a UL rating but here’s the proof. I’m no electrician but that just looks like a fire hazard. This is something to think about if you’re one who stores powder and primers in your safe.

So check your rod and see if it’s heating. If not then check power to the outlet and then look into a replacement. I just bought a Goldenrod from Brownells which is what I should have bought to start with.
