Small projects that become large are our stock-in-trade.

Today's was "We've got a lot of tomatoes. Let's put some of them up as sauce." so we're now on gallon 80 of the day...and we've barely dented Mt. Tomato. Did I mention, this isn't for a restaurant, nor catering? This is home-stock. Disposition of the contents of the garden patch. Right around this time next year, we'll run out again and repeat.

Last week, we were converting a pile of unused brand-new 55gal drums into: a steamer-cabinet, a hot smoker, a cold-smoker, a barbecue grill.
