I can't believe it! I sent SWMBO to local egg dealer to see how much the dizzy rubs are...and she came home with a MM! I've been talking about them and making my case for a few weeks. No thanks to the forum I "had" to have one

    The greatest barrier against all wisdom, the stronghold against knowledge itself, is the single thought, in ones mind, that they already have it all figured out.

    My wife tried to sneak me one for Christmas. But I found it in the barn. I was tickled just the same.

    Weird. Can't get my whole message to post. Darn mobile.

    I can't believe it! I sent SWMBO to local egg dealer to see how much the dizzy rubs are...and she came home with a MM! I've been talking about them and making my case for a few weeks. No thanks to the forum I "had" to have one . When she saw one she thought they were cute and thought it would be nice for "her egg".

    She did call me to consult on the package. Got a bag of lump, starter squares and a container of the dizzy pig cow lick, MM and standards that come with it for $608! I had her skip on the place setter. Going to order the woo and stone.

    I'll play around with it this weekend. I need to go read the recent MM posts more carefuly. Like... Can I do a long low and slow with it!?

    Oh. My three old thinks it is her grill.

    First SWMBO lets me get a Large for Father's Day. And now this! So excited!!

    The gasser is a good storage unit for now.

    Better to be lucky than good any day!  Congrats on the education and the positive reception your work achieved.  You may want to buy a lottery ticket!  Enjoy and "pay-backs are hell but clearly deserved in this case!"

    Thats awesome!  I found a small "brand new" on craigslist for 400 that i'm trying to convince my wife to let me buy!!  She doesn't understand why I need another one when I already have an XL......

    @butert I can see the benefits of owning two. And a smaller one. From what I've read easier to get hot. Uses less lump and can cook more things! My wife was sold once she saw the smaller one and thought she would like to try and BBQ on it. She said the smaller one is less intimidating.

    I plan to order a woo and stone tonight. Just have to decide if I'll pull the trigger on the R&B combo AR for my large. :)
