<h2>Extra Stone</h2>
<p>When placing an order for your <span style="color: #993300;"><strong><a title="Dining Stones Website" href="http://www.DiningStones.com" target="_blank">Dining Stones</a></strong></span>, you may want to consider purchasing an additional single stone.  This extra stone will save you time.</p>
<p>The extra stone can be placed in the toaster oven or standard oven when you remove the stone you were planning to use.  If your meal runs long, you can then swap out for the hotter stone in the oven.</p>
<p>The 6&#8243; stones are great for keeping coffee mugs warm.  Having one stone in the toaster oven while using the other will keep your coffee warm to the last drop, especially if the stones are swapped every 15-20 minutes.</p>
<div id="attachment_736" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://www.diningstones.com/blog/wp-admin/www.diningstones.com/products.html"><img class="size-medium wp-image-736 " title="Hot Coffee" src="http://www.diningstones.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/Hot-Coffee-300x240.jpg" alt="6&quot; Salt &amp; Pepper Stone" width="300" height="240" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">6&quot; Salt &amp; Pepper Stone</p></div>
<p>Our stones typically remain hot between 30 &#8211; 45 minutes (depending on room temperature) after being removing from the toaster oven or standard oven.  However, if you want to keep that dish piping hot, swapping out for the hotter stone every 15 &#8211; 20 minutes will accomplish that.</p>
<p>To order an extra stone, simply click on the <a title="Product Page" href="http://www.DiningStones.com/products.html#" target="_blank">product page</a> from our website and select the second page of products or &#8220;view all&#8221; at the top of the section.</p>

<p><span style="color: #993300;"><a title="Official Website" href="http://www.DiningStones.com" target="_blank">Dining Stones</a></span> now offers a fun and more effective way to remove your hot stone from the oven.  Introducing The Oven Glove, a flame retardant glove made of Kevlar and Nomex by DuPont which withstands extreme heat up to 540° F.</p>
<h3><strong>Easier to Grab Stone from Oven</strong></h3>
<p>This oven glove is now being offered through the <a title="Official Website Product Page" href="http://www.Diningstones.com/products.html" target="_blank">Dining Stones website</a> for $10.00 each and dramatically extends the time you can handle hot objects in your hands.  The oven glove can be used with either the right or the left hand and is machine washable.<span id="more-241"></span></p>

<p>Think Local</p>
<p>This new item to our products page, made by <a title="Official Website" href="http://www.Fairfieldlineinc.com" target="_blank">Fairfield Line</a>, is just another way that Dining Stones reaches out into the community and &#8220;thinks locally.&#8221;  Fairfield Line is owned and operated by two amazing business women, sisters Nicole and Megan.  Gloves are their specialty and the real marketing genius comes from their <a title="Official Website" href="http://www.zerogloves.com" target="_blank">Zero Gloves</a>, a high end winter sports glove.</h3>
<h3>Another Way to Stay Warm</h3>
<p><a href="http://www.zerogloves.com"><img class="size-medium wp-image-253 alignleft" title="Snowboarding Gloves" src="http://diningstones.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/Zero-Gloves-300x212.jpg" alt="Snowboarding Gloves" width="300" height="212" /></a>This local business is the proud sponsor of a team of snowboarding professionals: Jesse Csincsak, Steve Reeves, Colin Tucker, Rose Raevsky, Meg Pugh, Marc Moline, Jeff Meyer, and Shane Zwickel.  Their website, where you can purchase the <a title="Official Website" href="http://www.zerogloves.com" target="_blank">Zero Gloves</a>, is as stunning and as adventurous as the sport itself!</p>
<p>I recommend purchasing a pair of Zero Gloves as a Christmas gift for your snowboarding enthusiast to stay warm on the outside, just after you purchased a Dining Stone to keep them warm on the inside.</p>
<p>Best regards,</p>

<p style="padding-left: 90px;">1) An email confirmation is sent to the customer who details the order.  This email acts as the invoice and should be kept on file.</p>
<p><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-180" title="Sample order" src="http://diningstones.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/Sample-order1-300x211.jpg" alt="Sample order" width="300" height="211" /></p>

<p><span style="color: #ffffff;">&#8212;</span></p>
<p>2)  The next step is putting the order together:  stone, wood tray, instruction sheet, and a special &#8220;Thank You&#8221; card made out to the customer, or to the person receiving it as a gift.</p>
<p>3)  The order is checked twice for accuracy!</p>
<p>4)  Our folded shipping boxes are securely fitted to prevent the stone set from shifting while being transported to its destination.<span id="more-176"></span></p>

<p>5)  We carefully pack orders in the official USPS boxes and arrange packing material around the Dining Stones box firmly.</p>
<p>6)  A label is placed on the shipment box and sent Priority Mail.</p>
