    I was going to fill some totes today, but decided to sit down for a bit and have some orange juice before starting. I opened facebook marketplace and ended up snagging this for $50!!! There is a pizza oven there too.

    My wife has been wanting one for a long time. This one has the oil free pump, so no real maintenance to worry about. I’m going to go stack some wood now…

    What's the large appliance looking item? Occasionally, being lazy does pay off. Usually, though, it just reinforces my procrastination habit. LOL

    It’s a freeze dryer. It removes water from food so you can store it for 25+ years. Freeze dried food has zero moisture in it and is like chalky foam. You add water and it goes right back to fresh. We have tried a bunch of freeze dried food and it is really good. Cooked chicken that has been freeze dried turns right back into fresh cooked chicken when you add water.

    The oil goes in the dough or in top of the pizza, not on the stone. We tried it out last night and it worked pretty well.

    Can you freeze dry your firewood? :whistle: I imagine zero % MC wood would burn rather well.:coldfire:

    Well someone was going to ask eventually. :D

    Freeze dried firewood - just add water.

    I don't think any one could afford it, even in Nashville.

    I probably could, but it would be a very slow and expensive process.

    Ok Thanks. Closest I could make out was a small personal washing machine for a prison cell. But that makes absolutely no sense LOL
    Awesome score.

    That’s still probably a pretty fair price if it’s legit .
