does your spouse laugh at you?

[DK117]

Wife laughs at me yes, but not for cleaning the grill.  She decided we were going to her parents for a 2:00 PM dinner.  So I had to wake at 4:00 to get the lox (another tread) going.  I tried to go back to sleep, but had the alarm set at 5:50 to start the tube smoker.  We had to leave at noon.   So basically she got 3.5 more hours sleep than I did, due to my hobby.  I get it, I don't think she does yet.

People just don't understand how hard we work at our Queing craft

For the grease bucket, I use a 1 gallon paint can from lowes depot. It comes with a lid.

when it gets full, lid it and toss it. far.

My Mak needs a serious cleaning as well.. way to cold here right now.

Ditto! I also use the one gallon paint can.  Works like a charm and no, Jan doesn't laugh at me.  She likes what comes out of my smokers way too much to risk hurting my feelings.

My MAK needs a serious bath as well.   Getting ready to move it to the warehouse as our primary "bacon cooker"..

Lordy, Lordy Sparky!!!    ... If my pits looked like that I'd never cook another meal 

[smokeasaurus]

Y'all notice they don't laugh when they are eating what we cook 

[Smokin Don]

I keep my Traeger pretty clean but no where near as good a Sparky! My wife knows better than to laugh at me or she won't eat!  But she laughs enough about other things about me! Don

My wife laughs at me for taking pictures of my cooks.  But I caught her taking pictures of my present cook in progress.  She also has mentioned about getting me a camera since my phone takes such lousy pictures.  Yeah, she laughs on the outside, but on the inside she's into it....just won't admit it.

I've hosted seveal parties, 20 to 40 people at our home.  I know I'm not alone in this, but it gets a lot of groans.  "Wait, no one can eat yet,  I have to take a picture for the internet forum."

I definitely am stealing the bottle in the bucket idea!!! So simple, makes me wanna slap myself up side the head and say "Why couldn't I have thought of that!"

Thanks for sharing!
