    Think I found a nice little side hustle.

    Beautiful Steve! I started my side venture 40 years ago when I had to get my lawn mower repaired. Yikes! Decided that I can do this, took classes at the local community college, and have been repairing small engines at a fair price ever since.

    Throwdowns and such

    Food is meant to be eaten, not photographed. If there was a way to actually taste the contestants' submissions, then, you have a contest. Unfortunately that cannot be done over the web.

    Mower Parts?

    Pro Parts Direct is another you can try. Google Toro Timecutter SS3300. Rear Wheels and others should pop up. I have been repairing mowers for 40 years and the quality just isn't what it used to be with companies selling out to others and the government regulations being place on them...

    NY PIZZA

    Pizza looks fantastic. Crust looks like fermentation and hydration was perfect. I prefer to use a 50/50 mixture of flour and Semolina when placing my dough on the peel. The Semolina acts like tiny ball bearings and avoids dough sticking to my peel and baking steel. If it tastes as good as it...

    Ink Bird Product promo?

    I am always asked to participate, but since I had a bad experience with Pay Pal I do not use it anymore. Ink Bird does not accept any other form of payment so it's unfortunate for me!

    Can We Have a SMF Hall of Fame?

    I as well truly miss our deceased members. I learned everything I could from them and it made me a better smoker, cook, and baker. One of my favorites was daveomak. He had posted a hilarious description of a gastric issue he had once. It was so funny that I peed myself laughing. I have...
