I attempted waffles on the cast iron and found it has a steep learning curve.


My observation is that it has to form quick crust then it must steem free..

As the daylight hours shrink, trading routine tasks for random diversions is a welcome change. While our shifts in the usual schedule are done with some advance planning, it's still just as fun to switch things up. So far, we've had afternoons of spoon carving, lighting, decorating and box making.

The iron wasn't hot enough for that first one, and it seemed to crisp a little too fast on the last one. Getting the right amount of heat, oil and time cooking is a balancing act.

A cold snap this week has us set to work indoors as much as we can.

You guys might want to consider putting snow brakes on that side of the shop roof so that snow doesn't slide off into that area.  Assuming the shop can handle your full snow load.

Alternately, maybe connecting the shop roof to the berm shed for the winter so no snow falls into that space.  Again, assuming the shop can handle the weight of snow if it doesn't slide off from time to time.

Last thought, if the rockety stuff isn't too heavy, you might be able to get rid of some of those legs.  Then you won't be as limited on the size of things you can fit between the legs.
