    Trying out any new cooking gear this year?

    Playing with my honey stove at lunchtime. Discovered I need to move the grate up one maybe two notches when using a small (7 small) handful of charcoal brickettes from pound land. Used pocket stove and speedster burner to heat moka pot. That worked well.
