Place thinly sliced sweet Spanish onions (or Vidalia onions) into cooker cavity. Add a little celery, salt, parsley and a splash of beer. Close cooker and grill until onions are soft.

Been reading your pie iron recipes. I gave mine away years ago and these sound so goooood! Have to break down and get another one.

Only one?  we have too many of them.  Kids kept giving them to me as gifts but hey we use them year round.  We also take old jeans we are ready to throw out and cut the legs off and sew them into a deep pocket to store them.  Can keep a few on one pocket.

Thank you for all the answers about pie irons. Just never used one, so gave it away. But looks like one or 2 will be in future cooking. AND the s'more basket looks promising, the suggestion to wrap 'mores in foil first probably a good one.

If you buy pie Irons stay away from the cheap ones as they fall apart very quickly.  I love the Rome models that are cast iron.  They are a bit more money but they last and also heat evenly.  I just looked at their site and sad to say I have at least one of each of the cast iron and few other cheaper ones.

Looked for a cast iron pie iron today, could not find one. Did not fight the crowds very far away and go to the Lodge cast iron store.
Did find the one that was cast aluminum by the looks of it and had the non-stick inside. I think I would prefer the cast iron also.

I was at the son's house over the weekend. Found the old pie iron I had given him years ago. This one cast iron.
It is rusted, WOWStaris it RUSTED!
I have this little "tool" that I bought the last time I purchased a cast iron piece, have not used it yet since I do not allow my precious cast iron to rust. Says it is for getting rust off cast iron. We will see.
I hope with a lot of elbow grease and some patience that the pie iron can be saved.
Any other suggestions will be sure welcome too.
Have not gotten far afield here in tourist land to find them at the Lodge store.  Have not been able to find any other brand (and paying the shipping on cast ironCry). Only find the alloy ones with non stick inside.

I just did a quick search on the net and found this:
 
If it has a lot of old "gook" on it...I spray it really well with oven cleaner and put it in a plastic bag over night....then scrub all the gook off ( some people set it in a log fire to do that.)...wire brush off any rust...wash it, put it over a low fire to really dry well....rub with fat...crisco, oil or whatever....and set it in a 275 oven for about 2 hours....cool and repeat.

This is an outside job and since the humidity is so high the scrub work has to wait. BUT I could get some oven cleaner and start the job. Thank you, I had not looked it up.
