Apparently, a year of testing wasn't enough.

It brings me back to an article about how to drive in ice and snow and the rear end is slipping/sliding. It didn't say how, it said don't.im thinking the journalist was born in miamifukahwee maineyou can lead a fish to water but you can not make him drink it -
Heading out to get an ash pan. Stupid me bought an adjustable rig and a dutch oven, and a pizza stone to do 1200 degree pizza cooks with my non round bottom draft. So glad they never crack. Need to get a garage and a way to move this egg, someone should have told me I can't leave it outside in a snow bank back in 2001fukahwee maineyou can lead a fish to water but you can not make him drink it

What is funny, is I bet that same is true for damn near every review out there. People reviewing stuff they know nothing about.
ATK did a test of ceramic frypans a few years ago. Most of them failed miserably, but I did purchase their Recommended brand (already forgotten, got it at BB & . They cooked eggs in the pan thirty times in a row, and still performed "acceptably"; so did I, that's one month of breakfasts for me. By the two-month point it was trashed and replaced with another cheep T-Fal.___________"When small men begin to cast big shadows, it means that the sun is about to set."

Wait, what? If you don't have a "ash tray" you have to remove the fire ring to clean out the ash? I use a Kick Ash Can as it's more convenient than using the Ash Tool, although either method is fine. What is this "ash tray" for the Egg? I think that is a KJ thing.

I guess that I’m an ash heretic pointing my leaf blower at the lower air intake to clean the Egg out. Of course I keep my Egg on concrete rather than a wooden deck.

I picked up a copy of an ATK book at the library this spring. I think it was "The Outdoor Cook - How to Cook Anything Outside Using Your Grill, Fire Pit, Flat-top Grill, and More" title.
In the section on charcoals they claimed that briquettes are much better as they light faster, burn hotter and last longer than lump charcoal. I put the book in the "to return" pile.
My dad was a huge fan and subscriber of Consumer's Reports. He told me that if CR said something was wrong with a product, check it out because there is likely something amiss. But everything else in CR was just opinion and conjecture.

Looks like he's only cooked on that thing twice in a year with how clean it is, and how good a gasket is still there.
