Yep, I have three of them. They are handy for the grill. I use them to make compound butter as well.

- If not cooking outdoors, I am cooking on the stovetop with my 14" carbon steel wok, 12" CI skillet, or in the oven with my two Lodge CI pizza pans, or two dutch ovens. I've also got a nifty Lodge carbon steel grill pan that rocks for veggies outdoors.
I have one like that, and use it on the corner of the griddle or grill to melt butter, or make sauces. Mine is not Lodge, as for some reason, as the time I wanted a little 1 qt pot, Lodge was out.

Here is a recipe I use. It is called "Cowboy Butter" and it is incredible. You will love it. (Assuming you like food, LOL )
Cowboy Butter
4 tablespoons butter, melted
Juice and zest of half a lemon
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
Pinch of cayenne pepper
1/4 teaspoon paprika
2 tablespoon fresh chopped parsley
1 tablespoon freshly chopped chives
2 teaspoons minced thyme
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

This is what I do for compound butter. 1# of Soft Salted Butter and 2 Level Tbsp of Italian Seasoning. Mix well and serve. I think it helps to use a higher end butter rather than plain generic butter but either works well.

Started smoking in Aug 2025. First smoker is a Weber Searwood. I purchased a ThermoWorks Smoke to get a more accurate temperature and the pro-series needle probe. I also have a Weber grilling basket, Weber grill brush, and the Grillart steambrush. I've tried all sorts of pellets and wood flavors and my family mainly likes the Traeger signature blend. I have a meat injector and shears for poultry.
I also recently purchased a new 2010 used Weber Kettle Performer. Just got a cover for it. I bought the ThermoWorks RFX with 1 wireless probe, the SnS and DnG to spruce up the grill. I have not cooked on it yet. I cut a hole and installed the ThermoWorks billows. I did buy 4 bags of the B&B charcoal briquettes.
All my cooking has been on the Searwood. I absolutely love cooking Pork Shoulder, chicken wings, chicken breasts and steak. I won first place in my church chili cookoff (I bragged to everyone about it) and I really enjoyed the chili (and I don't really like chili). I really enjoyed Moink balls. I like cooking ribs, chicken breasts, and chicken legs with white sauce.
I look forward to cooking pork burnt ends, smoked turkey for Thanksgiving, and maybe even a brisket.
I'm still trying to determine rubs my wife will really enjoy. I love the rubs from the website, but my wife just wants some rubs that will bring out the meat flavor so she can taste the meat. I'm seeking simple rubs for chicken breasts and steaks.
I love soda and especially Dr. Pepper. I don't drink alcohol.
I live near Boise, ID. I've been married for 25 years and I have 5 kids. I'm a second career dentist.
I saw a video with someone using this to melt ingredients to baste his rotisserie chicken. Placed it right on the lid of the Weber kettle to melt and mix.

I have one and it is great for cooking onions...
I take a large sweet onion (Vidalia) cut the top off then peel it. Next I cut a hole in the cut end, place a beef bouillon cube and top the hole with butter. Put the onion in the pot and put it on the smoker to cook...
