Hi again Central Pork, Just saw that I missed the last two replies. Years ago, I lived at Franklin Plaza on 1st Ave. and 107th Street. No place to grill there! Somewhere I recall that the City had an ordinance about outside fires and smoke. Dr. A

Hi Central Pork, Quick question for you from an Upstater ( Webster, NY near Rochester and Lake Ontario ). Does NY City have some sort of prohibition against outside barbecues? You have obviously been grilling. Do you have a balcony or do you have a deck? We went from a 10 inch snowstorm to 80 degrees F in 8 days. Threw my grilling off a bit. Dr. A

Steve, Thanks for the info. I will order from Haydels Bakery a king cake for the kids who miss them. I used to go to Bay ST.Louis where Capt. Andy was selling the 5 ounce shrimp he caught in the Gulf. We would fillet these and stuff them with crab meat, and then put them on the grill. Never heard how he did with Katrina. We will scape the ice off our outdoor table and grill and do some ribs this weekend. I am glad you told me that they are selling Chinese crawfish. The few people who had crawfish up here complained about them. This probably explains why. Dr. A

Steve, Great post! What part of New Orleans are you in? We moved to the Rochester area in 2003 from Gretna because my wife was afraid of hurricanes. Smart woman. Our offices were on General Pershing St. next to Memorial Hospital ( still Baptist to me ) and on Old Spanish Trail up in Slidell. Both offices gone now. I used to do little cooking in the summer due to the heat. Here we cook all year long as long as we dress for the winter. Your comments suggest to me that a Komodo Kamado has the most stable temps of all ceramics. I have got to see one! I can not obtain crawfish up here. We subsitute crab for crawfish for our boils. Our daughters marched in Grela on the West Bank. Nobody know anything about Mardi Gras up here. Go Saints. Dr. A
