Hello David!

I am still longing for one of your soapstone stew pots!

I just registered a couple weeks ago too. I am still chugging on my old K's don't have a new one like they sell here.

re.. soapstone pot

Mr. Sissy-G's came to the 2004 Kamado Kookoff (see photos here:

and cooked the greatest Gumbo with homemade stock in a soapstone pot with a copper band. The perfect thing for slow simmering a stew, gumbo, or chili in a K. I thought I had a photo but I can't put my mouse on it just this second. I have coveted one ever since!

Wow, talk about your high refractory value! Looks great, and would look great on any kooker(especially mine--listening Santa?).

No kidding, Majestic! Sign me up! GORGEOUS!

Maybe once all the holiday bills are paid, I can buy one.
Can you just imagine how great a stew/beans/rice/anything would taste from that? And think of the presentation!

Ok, if I dropped it in the kitchen sink, the sink would crack. But still! :)

My source was TemperatureWare. It does look like they went up in price. One of the smaller pots on a good hotplate makes a slowcooker of the gods.

Here's the gumbo Glenn was talking about, made in a K. I smoked the meats over the pot, then diced them into the gumbo and degreased a bit. (The soapstone darkens immediately on contact with oil for seasoning, and stays the new, darker color.)

You guys are going to drive me into bankruptcy if you keep this up! I've moved the discussion on these great soapstone cookers to a better home where others can drool over them as well.

And welcome aboard Syzygies, this is where the fun is!

Scary, ain't it? DJ's just faster on the draw than I am. :D

Anyone else notice how Amphoran's link goes to something that suspiciously looks like custom tiles (albeit large ones) to try to convince Dennis to try to use? Nothing like a soapstone KK to match your soapstone cookware.
