A new smoker...

I have always wanted a smoker.  Why you ask.  Well, I can't really answer that, I just have.  I thought it would be cool to smoke some meat in a smoker.  Now, as far as cooking goes, I watch a lot of it on tv.  So I bought this smoker.  I don't have any real pictures of it yet because work has been crazy and I haven't put it together.  So you will have to rely on the Home Depot website to get your fill of great pictures of the next great tool in my arsenal.  I bought the flavored woods chips and all.  I have never used a smoker, don't really even know how they work.  You have to admit, men, that they are just cool.  Whether you know anything about cooking, smoking meat has been done throughout the generations and is still a manly thing to do.  I am planning on smoking some hamburgers, bacon, and then putting some cheddar cheese and bar-b-que sauce on top.  I know that I am on a life changing diet, but more importantly, I have to use my new toy. 

So here's the background on this tool.  Kacey kept saying, "Why do you want it"?  I could never articulate why, I just knew I had to have it.  She kept saying "No".  I kept asking.  Then, yesterday, i realized that I can just buy it.  I wouldn't recommend this on expensive things, but come on, what was she going to do.  I came home with it and she says, "I wondered how long it would be before you just bought it."  She wasn't even mad.  She was playing some Spock mind tricks on me.  I don't think she even cared if I bought it, but she had some sick pleasure pushing my wants to the bottom of the list.  I had used it as a bargaining chip for years.  She wanted something, so I would say that if she got what she wanted, i would get the smoker.  She always backed down.  Well, now I have to learn to use it.  It may be a year or so before you hear back on this one.  In an optimistic light, I think I am going to try this on the sports car I have wanted and she always says no in response.  I am going to just buy it.  I will let you know how that one goes over.  Hopefully, just as well as the smoker...
