Before I left to meed the North Atl. guys I laid a fire in my egg for tonights butts. When I got home she had lit the fire, gotten it stable @ 250, had the butts rubbed and on the egg. Her FIRST COOK!! :P Now all I have to do is watch it till they are done tomorrow.

    My wife has yet to do anything egg related. She loves the food but I can't get her started. If I did she would cook on them while I am traveling.

    Maybe later this year when it cools down she'll take interest. You're a lucky man.

    Sorry I missed spending the afternoon with you Tom.

    Kudos to your wife!! I just bought my first egg 2 weeks ago after giving one a test drive at a relatives. I'm completely addicted to this. My husband loves it too and we have to take turns making meals. He's trying doing an 8lb brisket for the 1st time. He's spent at least 10 hours online reading forums and going to different websites to find out exactly how to do this the right way. I really hope it turns out for his sake. It's a tough one I've heard. He took alot of pointer from Naked Whiz and Playing with fire and smoke. I'm sure it will be good.
    I'm really impressed with how nice and helpful everyone is on this forum. Glad I bought an egg, I really regret not getting an XL instead of the L. :(

    reelgem,

    Be careful, you know that you are dealing with the fragile male ego. If the brisket don't turn out, you'd better mess up your next cook so he don't feel so bad. BTW congrats on being able to DIY.

    My wonderful wife INSISTED that I buy a BGE (cuz she knew that's what I had settled on after a couple of years of research). I doubt that she'll ever cook on it, but she enjoys the things I've cooked so far.

    Tom,
    Watch out.
    If Karen learns to make your cobbler then you will be out of a job. Well, actually two.

    Just curious why you would rather have an XL, I really think that once you get comfortable with the many setups available on the large you might change your mind. I can feed an awful lot of people with my large. You may look at getting another Egg down the road and be more flexible with two than you would have been with the XL. -RP
