    Welcome to the forum. You have taken the first step to wallet genocide. You have no idea how expensive this obsession can be. We shall chat after you purchase your second refridgerator, and second deep freezer. 
    We have a support group that meets regularly, I will save a space for you.
    Seriously though, it is fun and the food is delicious. Great group of folks here that will help you with anything.
    Enjoy and have fun, it is worth every Franklin you have.

    I say this as I just ordered some Bluefire Gloves and a plate setter lifter on Amazon. Ouch. Now I just need to see if I can tackle baking bread on this.  And I seem to always run out of space so maybe a MiniMax....helllllllp

    I've got one a lot like it. Mine actually hooks up to a gas line, which seems a little weird.

    Ironically enough - the "Silver thing" hasn't been used this summer since The Green Dragon arrived. And if you lift it up - you will see all my Egg stuff being stored in there...discarded like an old girlfriend...Still need an official storage unit on the patio...

    Welcome aboard and enjoy the journey.  Degree of Kool-Aid consumption a matter of preference.  Ask away and you will likely get several different answers, all of which will work.  FWIW-

    Your pictures of food make it look like you cook on a hill!

    This thread is hilarious to me as I watch all the same things happen to everyone that is new....myself included!  It actually makes me feel much better about myself now.

    In fear of this taking this thread another direction entirely for one of the most heated debates, perhaps there is a KAB in that there egg........

    I noticed that too, the chili was listing badly!  Then I saw it was the grate that was tipped, not the Egg.  
    I've done that a couple times in the beginning, letting the grate slip over the platesetter's leg; I learned to make sure the grate wires were orthogonal to one leg, and then all was fine.  
     
    Congrats, and Welcome!
