Not this one, version 2.0 might get one. The side opening is really bigger than it should have been. Rims aren't welded together either, wanted to be able to clean it out easy. trimmed the lip off the lower rim so the upper could rest on it and not slide off

Neat concept and I got to have one too. Thanks for sharing.

That's cool! I would just make sure the rims aren't galvanized.

You are right about that Dwayne. Galvanizing almost killed me once, so never again.

Used it for the first time yesterday for my first attempt at blackened crappie and it was oh so good! Almost forgot to take a pic, this was the last piece....

Jimmy. the sun definitely shines on the back of your neck. By the way, the crappie is not smoking. Needs more butter in the pan.

My fish had plenty smoke at first but my fire had lost some of its heat and this was the last piece so I let it ride. You put butter directly in the pan? I've never tried it before and the recipe I googled only said to coat fish in melted butter. Didn't say anything about butter in the pan.

If you've got tips I'm all ears
