So, I love outmeal stouts and I'm about to brew my first all grain batch. Should I stay away from this receipe as it will be my first all grain batch?
Did anyone convert this to all grain yet?

I'd be sure to add a generous portion of lactose, and mash around 150. You might also use a less enthusiastically attenuating strain of yeast to leave more sweetness in the beer. I don't have any great suggestions there, every yeast I use seems to clean house pretty well.
Hope that helps.
Can i switch out the flaked oats for some Thomas Fawcet Oat Malt? Is so, would I be able to use the same amount?
How long has it been in the bottles?
I have been extract brewing for a few months, and want to try a partial mash. I've decided to use your recipe! I would have a difficult time boiling 3.5-4g of water without keeping a lid on it, so I was hoping to steep in around 3-3.25g of water. Think there would be much of a problem with this, or just a little less efficiency? Also, did you just get your water to the right temp, throw in your grains, then throw the whole pot in your oven?
Also, have you ever thought of throwing in a few cocoa nibs with your vanilla bean in secondary? I love Southern Tier's Choklat, so I sort of want a chocolate overload (plus I love dark chocolate).
That's pretty much it. Just run the oven for a few minutes first so it gets warm and then turn it off when you put the pot in. It's the residual heat you want that makes the pot cool down much more slowly.
I've thought of using cocoa nibs with other brews, but not with this one. It's already chocolate overload. I doubt you'd notice any difference.

Yes crush the grains.
Yep. Uncrushed grains will do nothing for you. Partial boil batches are always topped up with water to get your final volume.
