I do admire your use of a board that big. Seem to work nicely! Love the spread btw. For me, I'd have to figure out a place to store it. Definitely not going to fit one of our kitchen cabinets.Well the roasts were not really bloody much but were very juicy and the hickory bark adds a lot of color, they were very good, to clean the board isn't to bad but is messy lol, water hose and a sheet pan to set it on and rinse with a pitcher or 3 of hot water. I really enjoy the board for a lot of projects and price was decent. rural king carry's them fyi .
