You're right.
Sorry that I am being a bit whatever tonight
Don't worry, you're correct.

There is no set amount of money that's necessary to give for kimcha dipischa (maos chitin). But try to give enough that would actually make a difference to someone. Since it's not an absolute obligation, Maaser money can be used. Halichos Shlomo.

Overheard: “My husband is a malach. He is only capable of doing one task and then he’s done.”

Husband: How can I help for Pesach?

Wife: Take down the Sukkah!!!

Does the concept of "pesach store" still exist anywhere?
A place where only kosher lpesach stuff are sold?

maybe divide and conquer. Vegetable stores are exclusive so you can buy fruit and veggies at any one of the two. Meat I am guessing you will need to buy here anyway. It used to be house of glatt was totally kp a week or two before yom tov. Then maybe the rest at w fresh. Also Klien’s has cases of plastic ware you can probably take straight off the pallet.

When doing Libun with a torch, how long does the fire need to be on the item for? A few seconds on each spot?

Similar: "My wife seems to think I'm a mekubal, she constantly asks me to have in mind the sheimos."

Your not going to get a more specific answer than @moko's by being slightly less vague in your question.
you need to answer his five points to get an answer:
depends on the type of libun
 depends on
The type of metal
The density
The temperature of the metal
The temperature of the fire

For example:
Theres quite a variance in metal type and density in stove grates and there'll be a difference in the fire temp between a small handheld torch used for browning food and a blowtorch used by roofers...

My neighbor is actually putting up his sukkah (no lavud straps, shlak without schach, garbage can b'davka inside) right now for chometz consumption.

Do your research, because I have heard in previous years that these things can shatter your stove top.
