"I especially appreciate the "preheat" aspect to help avoid a big "catch" from rapidly going from cool to hot very fast."
^^^^ That's something I've found very useful.....the heating on the kettle lid I think I either came to by default, or got from MacEggs....he does that too.......
That's a way for anyone doing a shorter cook to get a edge.....not everyone wants to deal with 14 hour cookups.......
the additional info is all just fine, never really too gung-ho......unless you're bashing the heck out of somebody when their way may work just fine for them.......I try to stick to what I've found works & why.....seems the cleanest approach......
Now......Fatcap up.....or Fatcap down?
