I agree completely. Leaving those controls wide open is asking for trouble.

I think about getting one of those (or the propane ones) at least 3 times a year. And then I think about how much work and preparation and forethought it takes to make pizza dough and... well I haven't bought one yet. I do love homemade pizzas and calzones but I have to admit, I'm not that great...

If you're using the mobile app, open "settings" in the main menu and you'll see the "change password" option.

I bought a new grill last weekend. Here's some chicken breasts I marinated - half is orange chicken with a homemade marinade, and the other half is red curry and sriracha with a little black truffle oil. On top is spicy marinated pork belly. Second photo is (homegrown) zucchini fries fried in...

It is important to consider for some types of plants in particular. I'm growing tropical plants, and some of those are very sensitive to salt. Mangos, for example, can barely even handle the salinity in most tap water here in the Phoenix area. A lot of mango growers here use RO water or harvest...

My city counts chickens, ducks, and geese as fowl, but emus and ostriches are considered livestock, which I'm not allowed to have on my lot. :(
