Linda, I'm ready to move to flax seed oil after years of Crisco & canola oil. Ms. Canter's blog and logic make sense. I've got a bunch of CI that needs re-conditioning so I'll report back later. I've got the materials to try both electrolysis & lye methods. I'll go flax seed oil either way. Ken...

I went to my closest Tuesday Morning and picked up a few items: nice SS turner by "Professional Culinary Instruments" list/purchase $23/$10 Sunbeam silicone high temp spatula $5/2.50 Cuisinart Profesional Tenderizer (jacquard) $25/$12.50 No Weber brand items this time. :-( Lots of various...

I'm posting in the gas grill forum as opposed to the trading post because it is a gas grill. " WEBER STAINLESS STEEL SUMMIT PLATINUM D4 LP GAS GRILL W/ SIDE BURNER AND SIDE TRAY. " Is $900.00 a fair price for s SS gasser that looks nice in pictures? thanks! Ken <new to gas grills>

Well I saw a similar thread in the Gas Grill section. Weber doesn't want to sell conversion parts? I guess that's why we don't have the cool gasser kit for kettles like they do in Australia.

Saw a Natural Gas Summit on CL this morning. Only downside it was a Natural Gas version & I'd need LP. I'd assume I'd need to change some metering orifice, the regulator and connector hose (who knows what else?). Is this a practical conversion? How much are parts? thanks, Ken (from Atlanta)

Mark, Nomex flight gloves have very thin (like kidskin) leather palms and fingers. They also wear quickly at the thumbs and seams. I assume they are to give good dexterity and protect a pilots hand's from a "flash-over" fire till he/her can get their butt out of the seat. I know from personal...

Hey Rita, I just got a 18.5" Kettle Pizza rig and recently paid a visit to the Lodge Factory Store in South Pittsburg, TN. I'll report back once I start making pizza(s) on a stone & CI Lodge pizza pan. There's also a factory store in Commerce. Ken (ready for pizza) ps: General Hardware in...

Good Luck to them. New Lodge Logic pre-seasoned is hard to beat. I've read the article cited and have a bottle of flax seed oil (food safe linseed oil) and an old skillet or two ready to re-season. Ken (from Atlanta - proud to have Mom's cast iron skillet)

I think so,thanks for saving me a long drive. Rocky Mountain on Roswell Road is close and next on the lists. A pal has an egg, so we may head to the BGE world headquarters. He wants an XL, so I may get his old large one.

My bandsaw has never picked up a piece of wood and thrown it at me like the table saw did (yeah, operator error). I'll cross cut round wood on a bandsaw, not try and split it. Save the planet manual method: Build a small v-shaped trough about 2 foot long with a stable base {a small sawbuck} to...

As I'm a tool junkie too, I'd view a load of smoking wood as a chance to buy a new tool. I'd first cut it up and split it like firewood so it can dry & season. There are tons of sites on how to keep it off the ground, stack it for circulation and cover it to protect from rain. Split some into...

From Larry Olmsted's blog in FORBES http://blogs.forbes.com/larryo...-the-best-bbq-store/ I'm still looking for a "great" store in Atlanta. BBQ USA was close, but they closed their stores in Atlanta. I think there's a BBQ store WAY up in OTP Alpharetta, I'll pack a lunch and head that way...

all, Here's a grilling story from the Times UK: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/foo...-super-barbecue.html This quote "turn steaks every 15-30 seconds" from Nathan Myhrvold's massive new cook book surprised me. That goes against EVERYTHING I've read & heard before. What do y'all think? Ken (from...

I'm on the north side of Atlanta in Brookhaven. Griiling and smokin' once in a while. Ken <working on that 1991/2 Performer restoration, free from a pal>
