No burn cooking plates

Hi

I am trying to find perforated plates that you put between the gas burner and pot when making chili at a cook off. It helps avoid burning chili in the pot.

I had 2 but lost them at the last chili cook off I was involved in.

Best regards, Larry Griffiths lgriffi@aol.com

John "Beeg Juan" Wright

Just wanted to update the chili cooks that one of our dear cooks has suffered another small set back. Beeg Juan Wright suffered a heart attack this weekend and is currently hospitalized. We told him that he needs to drink more tequila and have a few more beers, but the DOCTORS told him NO !! (See how they are !!)

In the mean time - he needs to go home and rest up for future bypass surgery.

A few prayers are always in order. Beeg Juan is still concerned about his "futures" in tequila - and is asking everyone to pick up where he left off.

Letters of harassment - as in get your butt out of bed and back to cooking chili - can be sent to:
