    It will fit using the large end not the crimped end. The magnets make it stronger on a windy day. I also put a  6 inch extension too make it higher. Hope this helps

    Terikyaki beef/pork sticks

    Dave thank you! Not to be pestering you ( BUT). I do have Chinese mustard sauce. Which is better and how much should I use. Chinese hot sauce has a lot of heat, when you put it on an egg roll with sweet and sour sauce. I think I will add encapsulated citric acid, black pepper and mustard seeds...
