I finally settled on a dutch oven. After dithering about the size to buy, I settled on the 8.5 qt oven.

Amazon's 4-for-3 sale decided it for me. The promotion is to buy 4 items from a selection of Home & Garden and the cheapest is free. Only the 8.5 qt was included in the sale. This, coupled with the fact that I thought the 12qt would be too heavy for my portable grill, decided it.

"Hamilton Beach 26200 Flip 'n Fluff Belgian Waffle Baker"
"Deni MT48 48 Blade Meat Tenderizer"
"Lodge Logic 11-1/4-Inch Pre-Seasoned Grill Pan"
"Bayou Classic 7460 8-1/2-Quart Cast-Iron Dutch Oven and Lid with Perforated Aluminum Basket"

Okay, the waffle maker is not technically a BBQ item, but I've always wanted one ever since I went to a breakfast buffet in California that had a self serve waffle maker.

I'm really looking forward to trying the meat tenderizer. I sometimes buy steak and egg bagel sandwiches from McDonalds and I am amazed at how soft they can make a cheap piece of steak by punching holes in it. I'm hoping the meat tenderizer can make the London broil cuts I buy more tender and cook more evenly on the grill.

I have been forbidden to grill on Mother's Day, so the roll out for this stuff will have to wait until June 9th, our first BBQ party of the season. I will of course be practicing before then.

I was thinking of trying to make hush puppies using the dutch oven and basket. I've never done it before but I see a lot of recipes out there.

BTW, I almost freaked out when I saw the total at Amazon. I got free shipping, but by default they place you at standard shipping at checkout. The shipping for the items was over $40.

I had to click on budget shipping to get the charge removed.
