    Wish Tonto well

    Sad to report that we had to put Tonto in the hospital last night. She's got a massive cyst and attendant infection. She's being well attended. As sick as she is, she insisted that I provide her lap top so that she can stay 'connected' to the SMF. I'm sure she would be cheered mightily if...

    GOSM burner units

    My GOSM is nearly two years old. Do ya'll have any problems with the burner unit.....more specifically, the propane control knob. Seems like sometimes the knob and the relative position to the "low medium high off" dial aren't always consitent. Said another way, you can here the 'rush' of...
