Anyone else rocking a tagine?

So it's come to this. Back in the day I used to actually do stuff on Friday nights. Y'know, pool halls, pubs, the occasional dinner and movie, outrunning cops, etc.

These days, closer to 60 than 50, I find great consolation in talking about tagines on my hard-earned Friday nights.

I fell for this Emile Henry model (not that traditional) and have put out some great indoor cooks. Anyone else out there loving their tagine cooking?

I've never heard of Tagine, but it does sound most interesting. The closest thing for me has been a Dutch Oven or a Crockpot. The Emile Henry is about $110, I loved my Emile Henry Pizza Stone, sadly it didn't survive the move. I'm buying Mark Foreman's grills later this month, and a Tagine looks to be afterwards. Post up some Tagine cooks to keep the interest going. Must be nice with only 60 in the future, I've been draggin' 60 longer than not, lol

You'd kill it on the tagine, Chuck. I also love my EH pizza stone. Got a 2nd one as a gift. Happy to send it your way.
 
I believe it goes on a stove or could be used on a grill top. I've seen them used on TV shows but never in the oven

I see some Tagine cooks in my future. Thanks for the offer for the pizza stone, that's quite generous, excellent stone. My bride did most our Christmas shopping at Kohls and as a result she got like $50 in Kohls cash. She wanted to go to Hobby Lobby to decorate the house, I pilfered her Kohls Cash and bought the Lodge Cast Iron Pizza "stone" for free. I told her it was my uber fee for taking her to Hobby Lobby, LOL
 
Oh yeah, that thing. I saw it in a recipe. I am intrigued, but I have no idea how it works. I figured I have enough cooking toys. Like, I am certain I have a "roman claypot" in my attic somewhere. I don't NEED every cooking toy there is. But I'd rather have a thing than need a thing, so...

How does it work? If you have it on the stove, how does the cook differ from a normal pot or cast iron dutch oven?

Stove top generally. Very similar to Dutch oven but tall, conical lid leads to better steam circulation, thereby retaining moisture. I believe traditional tagines are made from clay but my old Le Creuset is similar materials to an enameled Dutch oven, but not nearly as heavy / thick. The tagine also makes for a nice serving dish on the table
