Thanks, @HunterC! The info in these posts is in line with what I’ve found, though using different gear. Part of my motivation is playing with the new toy, but the prospect of avoiding smelling up the house is appealing, too. I intend to be methodical in recording the process, so I’ll share when I’m done. And since I’ve promised to share the product with two experienced pie bakers whose forebears used lard in their crusts, I’ll eventually share their reactions and review their pies, too. Thanks again!
