I have some amazon gift cards to burn, about 150 bucks worth. Looking at getting some egg stuff. I have the rectangle Lodge griddle and a 5 qt dutch oven. I have the adjustable rig with both oval and round stones. I use a heat gun for lighting. 

What should i get? 7 qt dutch oven, a skillet, a wok, some bbq rub? I know i want that ringer thing for cleaning the cast iron. Any recommendations for gloves i can hold super hot stuff that wont soak through with grease and burn me anyways?

    Do you have a Thermapen by chance..
    Or a good remote thermometer?
    I spent most of my money on good bourbon, and bad women...the rest, I just wasted!!

    If you like fast delicious meals you owe it to yourself & your family to get a wok.  Mine gets used almost as much as my woo2.

    Blackstone griddle?  I'm loving mine.  It's a great compliment to the egg.

    The blackstone is in the want list, but i currently live with the inlaws and the deck out back is crowded with my egg, and a table with my weber smokey joe silver and q200 propane setup. And my accessory container. The blackstone isnt in the cards right now, but i want to get one and ditch the q200. Im all set on cooking grates, i have the stock, two 13x17, and the d grid from CGS. 

    Currently thinking 7qt DO, 12" (or 10", i have a lbge) CI skillet, and the ringer cleaner. And i think i can still squeeze a wok in, which one from amazon should i get?

    In your title it says: "money to burn". I sure would like to know that feeling just once.

    I guess i should have put gift cards to burn. 

    I found woks on there under the town food service name, any good? They get great reviews. 

    So far i have the 12" pan, 7qt DO, scrubber, and a wok. Bamboo or metal utensils? Or should i skip the DO since i have a 5qt one already?

    I was just messing with you brother. A attempt at humor if you will. Hope that you find what you are looking for.

    I purchased these gloves and so far so good. Hard to find good heat resistant gloves in an XXL size (11.5) but these I can get into with a little squeeze. Hopefully others will chime in with other suggestions.

    With your current living situation I'd get something for the in laws that they would appreciate. Sounds like most of the stuff you are thinking about can be had at a different time. 

    I'd definitely say if you don't have high heat gloves to get some however.

    I like silicone gloves, you can use them wet, and if I don't put them on, just double them like a pot holder, I can bring a cast iron dutch oven at 600f from the egg to the kitchen with them.

    Those say "Heat Resistant Durability For Temperatures Up To 425 Degrees Fahrenheit" I didn't go with these since I do pizza and wanted something that could handle up to 700 degrees.  The other ones are supposed to be good up to 932 degrees.

    Yeah - looks like someone makes the gloves in different colors and logos for various companies - they are all the same glove. Just like those silicone ones.

    Thanks - @Hotch !  I was wondering if this would fit a Woo2.  I just pulled the one-click buy trigger.
