Hi Dale,

That is overseas only.  I had a haggle in Berlin once on Feb. 28 when I
wanted to use one that expired Sept 1--but finally the manager
interceeded and saw it my way.

Good; I like my cookware and didn't want to have to buy more.

On the subject of cookware, specifically smokers (in re. to other notes
from you to Dave S.).  We had a propane (Brinkman brand) smoker grill in
HI.  Before that, when we were in AZ, Steve scavanged a charcoal smoker.
The Brinkman did a much better job; we were able to regulate
temperatures better.  It also had a handy instruction book with all
sorts of ideas for smoking various things & recipies using them.  We
were able to use a box of wood chips for flavoring also.  There were no
instructions with the charcoal smoker so we had a lot of stuff that
tasted too much like charcoal or were way overdone before Steve gave up
on it.  Just our experiences, your results may differ.  Whenever Steve
water smoked something, I saved the stock and used it for cooking rice,
etc.
