I finally got around to building it’s replacement and I added a number of enhancements this time around! I’m still working on getting it dialed in and have a few updates to make, but […]

Had a great Thanksgiving with the family doing a modification of out traditional Campisi’s pizza. Since they couldn’t ship pizza from Dallas to Connecticut we found ourselves making new plans.
