Does anyone do parkerizing anymore and any risks of using small shops?

I can tell you I did a park job myself, on my kitchen stove, in 2008. It wasn't very hard because 'meh, good enough' was acceptable for what I was working on.
It did, however, 'ruin' a nice steel pot, make the house smell very special, and contributed towards my lifetime ban from inside-the-house firearm maintenance.
So I'd defer to the other advice you've been given, and treat mine as a cautionary tale.

Does that come with breakfast and a pizza?
