ConvegEGGator WTF
Doc_Eggerton

OK, my old cracked plate setter finally split. I now have a new shiny ConvEGGator. This has to be the stupidest marketing play I have seen in decades. The origin of plate setter might be obscure but in the kamado community it is understood. You can't even figure out how to pronounce ConvEGGator.

You sir are living the good life. They have egg in everything now. Sound it out. Better yet, just call it a plate setter.

Which came first the chicken or the egg? I egged the chicken and then I ate his leg. -

WTF?! They couldn't trademark "Plate Setter(tm)"?The pottery industry went largely to stilts and I guess "convection device" was too boring.______________________________________________I love lamp..

Not so obscure. It is a piece of kiln furniture from the pottery world. Used to stack plates in a kiln for firing.Doc_Eggerton said:...

In cooking, often we implement steps for which we have no explanations other than ‘that’s what everybody else does’ or ‘that’s what I have been told.’ Dare to think for yourself. -

Heat DeflEGGtor would have been a much better name. Most people have no idea WTF a "plate setter" is until the dealer tells you. ConvEGGtor isn't much better either.South of Nashville - BGE XL - Alfresco 42" ALXE - Alfresco Versa Burner - Sunbeam Microwave
