Seasoning is the key w/the griddles. Mine came pre-seasoned, but I seasoned it another 6 times before I used it. My first cook was a pound of bacon and that actually helped season it more. It's got that nice blue-black finish. If anyone out there buys one, be sure to season the sides, as well.

I have only used the pizza oven twice. The pollen sucks right now, but I want to use it more. I like the chicken idea. I read about that being an option before we bought it.

I want to get one of those tripod stands, too. There is something comforting about cooking that way.

Fate, you're welcome to come on over w/your bourbon. LOL
