Thanks for the intro, BOB - I've been away and busier than a cat in a
litterbox.
I do use my gas option for Lazy-Q and it's just a serendipitous plus for my
real reason to have gas, which is for almost instantaneous lighting of lump.
For Lazy-Q, I cut the handle off a small cast iron frying pan which fits
perfectly in the Lumpsaver+ basket of my #7 K. A few chunks of wood in the
pan and light the gas is all it takes. No lump at all, just gas and
smoldering wood does an excellent job on any medium temp cook like
yardbirds, fish filets, turkey. Whatever you want to cook at 350-375°,
'specially when you don't have time for getting a lump fire to settle down
(or you don't have any lump).
