Using the old mixer

Made up a small batch of dough with the old KA Hobart. Still need to take the time to rip it down and repack the grease. 
Didn't have any of the good 00 so used KA Bread Flour.
In the fridge now for a cold prove.

    Nice. Be sure to post the results. 

    I killed one of those a year or two back grinding burgers. My wife, who owned said unit, was not pleased. Replaced it, but based on what I’ve read, I figure a take-apart and re-grease may be worth the effort.

    I agree on the rebuild. 
    This one is still running pretty smooth and was not running hot but I know it needs it. I already have the grease and new rubber pad feet.
    It’s on my lockdown list of things to do.
    Since our great forum member paved the way with step by step I know it’s something I won’t screw up!

    That link above is for a lift bowl mixer which is different from the fixed base. Good link for a lift bowl if you were need to take one apart.

    Potentially stupid question, here.  

    A lot of older forum posts have blurred pics with photobucket logos obscuring the views.  Any way around this?

    I don't think so.
    PB used to be a free photo-hosting service, allowing many of us to post our pics on websites.  Some, sadly, even used it to store their only copies of their photographs.  
    One day, PB decided to become a fee service, $400/year!!!  I don't begrudge anyone from making a living, but to jack up a service from free, for years, to that exorbitant amount was criminal.  
    I've always triplicated my own photos (two HDs and DVD backup, stored elsewhere) but so many of my posts, on so many forums, suddenly were incomplete.  
    Apparently PB is still in business, if blurred pics are showing up, but I don't think they have many friends in the world anymore.

    Great question. IMO
    I think the only way around it, and it’s not global, is if that person upgrades  their account. I went into PB and deleted all my images.
    What I started doing years ago was copy and pasting interesting recipes with photos and such into MS Word documents and saving them.

    Went with the XL as I wanted to clean burn it a little anyway.
    Made 1 cheese bread pizza and 2 kinda junk pizzas.

    Oooh, clever use of a wok ring!  Stolen!   :)

    Thanks.
    Have used the Wok ring on my small and large in a similar manner and it worked great. Not as great in my XL. It slowed down the temp towards the center on the upper stone too much. Maybe because the lower stone was so much larger and the rising heat rolled around the cooking stone too much.
    It was about 100 degrees cooler around the center of the stone.
    I normally use the Ceramic Grill Store Lump Reducer Open Ring Model.
