    @bubbajack, the "good" news is that I don't think you can buy a XXL.  You'd have to buy a 2XL.  

    Or does that not help?

    I know where a new one is at a dealer, one of the first 1000. On sale for @2500 + tax. Complete with everything, nest, shelves and plate setter. I can not justify it will my other eggs. Just me and the wife most times.

    Your cooks look great and I am sure they tasted even better.  Congrats on the big egg.

    @HighHeat, I have a friend who is downsizing and doesn't need an XXL any more.  He wanted to give it to someone he thought would fully appreciated it and put it to good use.

    It's hard to do that with COVID limitations because it can hold enough food for dozens of people, but I am having him, his wife, and another couple over for dinner this weekend.

    Recently saw someone cut butternut that way, now you did a zucchini. I'm going to have to try that method. I usually do spears for zucchini, but always lose some to the coals.

    Now we know the source of the Rockwood shortage.  =)

    I've made rrp's burgundy mushrooms a couple times and boy are they tasty. I could make a meal out of them alone.

    @WildmanWilson, you're not wrong.  I'm mostly just playing around with it right now.  I'll probably buy a charcoal basket of some sort to be able to make smaller fires.

    @RyanStl, I actually prefer the spears.  My buddy/dinner guest sliced them that way.  I think they're very easy to overcook with that slice.

    @GATraveller, so far all I've used is B&B and an offbrand that I found at HEB for $9.99 for 25 pounds.  I can't decide if I should go with cheap charcoal because of the volume needed - or with the good stuff because it seems absurd to skimp on the quality of charcoal when you're cooking on a grill this expensive...
