Arguments to convince the wife that the investment in a Cookshack is the right thing to do:
1) Ease of cooking.
2) No going to bed smelling like a slab of bacon, even after a shower, after spending the entire day at the side of a smoke belching fire breathing monster.
3) Lets you take advantage of a number of cheaper but traditionally tougher cuts of meat.
4) Lets you try the hundreds of recipes Andi seems to be building around the world of friendly smoke.
5) Lets you smoke while you sleep.
6) Uses a lot less wood (a potentially BIG advantage if you have no local source of good wood).
7) Really, a very small 'footprint' given the capacity of the unit, even the little Smokette.
8) The ability to put out just enough aromatic smoke to titilate the neighbors but not enough to have them calling the fire department.
9) The ability to smoke in your garage when its raining, snowing, hailing or whatever with a fan or very minor modifications.
10) Being able to bump up against the unit without then having to interrupt the cook while the cook goes to the emergency room for treatment. And add to that the ability to get product into and out of the cooker without special protective gear that would make a welder blush without the same interruption . . .
11) Lets YOU do the cooking instead of HER!
That's more than ten and that's just off the top of my head (nothing stays up there for long anymore!
) . . . I'm sure there's more but I'm getting typers' cramp!
