I had just bought myself a new one when hubby burned the house down, I guess I will have to buy a new one when the insurance comes thru. STILL waiting but they asure me it is nearly here. maybe I will buy 2 an electric one and a normal one for when we have a power failure they happen quite often where we are. I do miss it, as said in prior posts it does a wonderful roast and the gravy you can make from the juices is so tasty
