No drip pan. One thing to remember with the mini for long cooks is the radiant heat from the platesetter will burn the bottom. I flip rotate the meat on longer cooks.sirlancealot said:Mr. Lit what did you use for a drip pan for that 6lb. Roast? Man does that
Look good. -
Just to give you an idea of what the Mini will do. In 2011 we sent a Mini to Afghanistan for a unit. The Cpt had 23 solders who were very well fed steaks, chicken, etc from that one Mini. How many in your family?Salado TX & 30A FL: Egg Family: 3 Large and a very well used Mini, added a Mini Max when they came out (I'm good for now). Plus a couple Pit Boss Pellet Smokers.

best of luck, and make sure you buy your wife some incredible jewelry. You will be asking for forgiveness frequently as the owner of the BGE, because of what you will spend from this day forward. Grease the skids now!

You are a good man, and fortunate to be able to cover both events with such a nice gift. Our anniversary is coming up in April, as is My Beautiful Wife's Birthday. She will not allow the one gift rule anymore. She points at all the BGEs, Yetis etc., and just says no.sirlancealot said:

YukonRon, I am in the same boat as you. Anniversary the 10th, birthday the 25th. I loathe this time of year. Valentines, anniversary, birthday, mothers day, all in quick succession. I love my wife and enjoy getting gifts for her, but after 34 years, it's getting really difficult to come up with different ideas. I need to locate and hire a gift planner.YukonRon said:

One year I sent my wife on a treasure hunt
With much planning, here it is,
It started with me going to the mall to Victoria
Secret, gift wrapped her present and left it with the manager. Left an address there for her to go to the next stop.
That led her to the already reserved full body massage parlor including facial.
While she was getting that I sent a dozen roses from next door to greet her at the front desk when she was finished "Of course with another address to the next stop".
That led her to the already reserved restaurant where I was there waiting for her. And the rest
Is history.
BAM, home run..
"Quick Note", I was not with her, everything
Was on a time frame she could not be late.
I gave her the first address, no name of the
Stores and told her to have a good day and follow instructions to the tee. And don't ask
No questions.
Alright fellas, I'm going to let out a little secret. Go get the book "light her fire" And she will love you with a new attitude.
I forgot the authors name, it's a woman. I hope this helps. -

That's a cool idea. If we lived closer to a city, might could work that out (we're a good hour away from anywhere that would offer such services.). But my real issue is that beginning April 10, I have three occasions in less than a month that MUST be recognized sufficiently. Growing up, we didn't get so wrapped up in special days. Birthday - maybe a cake, a small present or two, and get back to work. Valentines Day, a card from mom. But my wife's family is a different story. Been a bit of a learning curve. With luck, I'll be getting a new hip in there sometime and maybe I'll get a pass this year on one or two of em.

I believe after 34yrs you have proved yourself and being together still is such a blessing.
I'm sure whatever you do she will appreciate it.
I will pray for your hip situation and good health.
