    What all is that exactly?  Looking to get going on the AR myself soon.  Just trying to get my mind around what all I need.  Is that the Customer Combo or part of it?

    Fire up the egg to 650 and throw some bacon and BBQ sauce all over. 

    Quick, before she gets home.

    It's the Large Adjustable Rig R&B oval combo. I bought the extra 13x17 oval grid to make it  the setup they use in their rib video (I love me some ribs). I also bought the 15" pizza stone which will get used later this week.

    Step one: Cut up the box and hide it in the bottom of the trash or better yet the recycle bin

    Step two: file all paperwork under something she won't ever look at, like "lawnmower warranty"

    Step three: Go to the store and get flowers and wine or her favorite beverage. Scratch that. Flowers are a dead give away, she'll immediately start looking for something or somehow you fvcked up. But get her liquid mind altering beverages anyway.

    Step four: throw it in the Egg and start dinner now before she gets home. When she asks, say its always been there and it came with the Egg.

    Step five: Start drinking now. Not really necessary, but why the hell not?

    Step six: hand her a drink when she walks in the door.

    And PS I want that top rack thingee. Not sure why, but I...must...have...it. Must..resist...quit...trying...to ...spend...my....money...

    @Griffin  I think you have done this before. The good news....mine doesn't even ask anymore....It helps when you work from home and she is gone all day. Wish my UPS driver wasn't so manly and ugly though.

    Very nice. Looks like you got the foil drip tray ring too. I didn't get that and wish I had. Cover that oval stone with foil before you use it if you want it to stay clean.

    The sliding raised top grid is a must-have, IMO.  Especially for pizza.

    I don't work from home, but I always get home hours before she does so the evidence can be hidden. LOL. I may have done something like that a time or two before.

    @rk772.   Just ask her about her feelings, as an example, how her day was at work and shut up and listen for 30 mins

    Works everytime and youll always get what you want if you use this technique

    @westernbbq too funny. 

    Another thought is to just hide it with her secret clothes and shoes stash.

    My Beautiful Wife bought me the MM, 3 months after I purchased the XL. She bought me egg covers, racks, grilling essentials, briskets, and brings me beverages while I cook and make tasty snacks.
    I know, I am extremely fortunate, and If I need something for either of the BGEs, I get it with her support, always.
    My life, as sad and diminutive as it may seem to others, is wonderful for me. She is my best friend.
    Now if I can just get that medium.........
