Air Frier
We also have an air fryer that DH loves to cook in. It is great when it is very hot in the summer. I buy parchment paper to line the rack. Very easy clean up.

Let Jay know you sent pictures. You may have to keep in touch with him. One time our awning got caught in a wind storm. I was able to get the black long handle and rivit from Carefree.
