Wife vs. BGE

edited November -0001 in EggHead Forum
Hello! I love my large Big Green Egg, but my wife hates it. I had to think long and hard about which to part with, but I figured I'd be better off in the long run parting with the egg. Would love to sell to someone who has an appreciation for how well the Egg can cook. I live in the Atlanta area. Email me if interested. Includes custom built cedar table.[p]FYI... I purchased my egg and table from Log & Lantern in McDonough.

    T. Jones, what size? Large? [p]I'm not sure about this. Are you sure you want to trust the judgement of a woman who would not choose the Big Green Egg? What if she decides she'd rather curl up with a chick-flick rather than curl up with you? I'd think long and hard about this. This could just be the beginning of a series of very bad decisions on her part. :-)[p]Seriously, you shouldn't have any problem finding a new home for it.

    T. Jones,[p]Probably a good decision if your wife has a nice job with a large paycheck. If not, the egg would be less expensive to maintain, it will be there for you when you need it, and it won't bother you when you want some quiet time.

    Wise One, Yeah, plus you can heat up the egg any time you want. List what you want for it, it will go quickly.

    my dad had to give up fishing under my moms rule, today he is fishing and happier than ever with his new girl friend. i would lend it to someone so that you could get it back if things change.

    T. Jones,
    Perhaps a little persuasive communication would work. We are here if you need help with material. Should be an easy sell. You been following the forum to learn the best ways to cook on it?? I bet a lot of the food that folks around here are cooking would knock her socks off.

    T. Jones,
    It is a simple fact that some people do not like the flavor of charcoal on their food. My mother is one such person. It has taken my father more than a year to get cooking on the BGE down, so that smoke flavor is minimized.
    Basically, he was not grilling at a high enough temperature. The lower the cooking temp, the more smoke from the lump.[p]Give it sometime. Like any tool, experience comes with time. [p]Hope this Helps,

    Oh yeah, Do the dishes!!![p]Like my wife often says ... no man has ever been shot while doing the dishes.[p]The problem may not be with egg, but mess left behind. It actually took me many years to learn this one.[p]R&J

    Good Luck,

    Its not unsual that the BGE is loved by everyone. Give her time and show her what's new on the egg. She'll probably get so excited, she'll throw unmentionables at you[p]Good luck,

    T. Jones,
    Sounds like she is jealous to me and I can understand it.
    If I was a wife I would feel that way too. Who wants their hubby hanging out with a good egg that only weighs a hundred odd lbs, can cook and hang with you all night long while you drink and f-rt in on the patio.

    susu1969, she would probably enjoy that. Just don't tell everything we do here. Rememeber, what happens onthe forum, stays on the forum. And to think, she bought me my first (and second) egg. Little did she know she was leading me down the path of adulteggery. :-)

    It's been three hours or better since you posted and many folks have asked you several questions and no replies.
    Here's my answer to your post. When the Wife gives an ultimatum over the BGE, you didn't have much going for you anyway.

    This reminds me of a strange little sign I saw hanging in a friend's kitchen once. It said "Kissin' don't last...Cookin' do". Good luck and sorry.

    I roam around every now and then.
    You have not responded to anyone here. What came first the egg or the bride?
    If you are arguing over a grill, than you have more serious issues than that.
    I wish you luck.
    BTW, what are cooking she doesn't like, I don't what to sound like Richard Steele (****) as I no him. But is food edible?[p]Dr. Phil

    This is a joke, right? I don't get it though, what's the punchline?[p]I hope it's a joke, if it's not, it's just pretty freakin pathetic. [p]My wife hates it when I fart under the covers, but you don't see me hanging a FOR SALE sign on my ass.

    Citizen Q,
    I think you're the first one to call this correctly. Or at least, to have the nads to do so. This is pathetic (as Simon would say). I'm having second thoughts even acknowledging a post like this...I would wager a healthy sum of money that we are actually dealing with some kind of tight-assed, new type of troll who gets personal jollies by sucking a lot of well-meaning, good-hearted people into his/her narcissistic, private hell. Warped...just plain warped..or maybe it's the Acupulco Gold thing cuz it's still "some bad-ass weed."
    Then again, we both may be just plain wrong, and this is a person who needs a healthy sum of money to get the right counseling so he doesn't end up killing his wife, or himself, or going postal at his place of work...but I don't think so.
