I was getting bored with his video until he suggested the lining of the
empty pan an inch or two off the bottom to prevent burning turkey
drippings... great idea.

This got me to thinking about burning some herbs on the bottom of a
foiled pan (no water, no sand)A guy on the food network was showing how
you can use some old dried herbs to add a unique smoke to food on a
stove top... this maybe something I want to experiment with.. Anyone try
burning some herbs in the cooker? The only herbs i have smoked are
inhaled LOL
