And I've used at least 10 or 15 rolls of that stuff on the gas grill, 
each time doing at least a 2 lb package of pork chops and an occasional 
piece of chicken for my bride as she gets tired of pork and I've been 
allergic to chicken for about 30 years. Pork, the other white meat, way 
less cholesterol than beef. Half a ton or more over the last 20 years.  
I'm still here, and in reasonable possession of my faculties. I think, 
heck I can't remember what I had, or if I had breakfast by noon.

I can see where that would, because of the mini-fins formed if sitting on 
its base, play hob with the accuracy. Stand them on their noses so the 
bases remain as rumbled and they'll probably shoot noticeably smaller 
groups.

Lining a muffin pan when doing a wheel weight melt in your casting pot to 
make ingots for the next pouring session. Run it thru the dishwasher & 
put it back in the cupboard for the next batch of muffins or cupcakes. 
The RR should peel off the ingot after its cooled, if not, its just 
floating dross to be skimmed off the pot when next plugged in.

Thanks Bruce.
