I smell good

[Jaxon]

Deb called me and told me I would be cooking the Sweet Italian Sausages for supper this evening. 
When I got home from work, I went out to the deck and started heating up the gasser, then went in to change my clothes.
When I went back out to the deck it hit me...DUH...I have a Weber kettle grill.  I turned off the gas and went for the charcoal.  After getting 'em hot in the chimney, I dumped 'em in the charcoal "boats" on the grate down below and covered the kettle whilst I went in for the sausage.  I had good heat so I put the sausage on and started cookin' .  Well, as they cooked, they started drippin' a bit on those hot coals.  Then the smoke came over me real good. 
Deb came out to see what was takin' so long, and I told her, "I really enjoy cookin' over an open fire like this."  After all this time, watchin' from the deck as I cook out back, I think she understands how I feel about it.  She is happy when I am happy and doesn't begrudge my time spent by the fire - whether it is gas, charcoal, or wood.  She realizes it is therapy for me and lets me take my time at it.
When I came in with the sausage, ready for supper, she gave me a hug.  Then she said, "I like the way you smell."

I have a great wife!

Now you can introduce a new men's cologne called eau or parfume' de sausage. Women will want to rip your clothes off.

It DOES have a little Italian flair to it...might just work.  But it could be very dangerous out in public.

Deb is great, Jack married up!   

I married up as well with Kimmie!

Those sausages sound great Jaxon! Now you see why once you start cooking
on charcoal it beats just about anything else. Something about the smell of charcoal and
burning wood.

Oh, I HAVE been cookin' on charcoal - I have a Master Lodge charcoal grill that I like to use.  It is pretty good sized and has adjustable chargoal grate.
I am a fire pokin', smoke breathin' son-of-a-gun

Great story Jaxon!!

That's the best, Jax - there appear to be quite a few very lucky smoker guys on the forum, and you're definitely one of them

I have to have my own closet because of the residual smell of smoke on all of my clothes.  It is a glorious thing.

Then she said, "I like the way you smell."

I think you smell good, too. Deb knows what she is talking about.

I am a fire pokin', smoke breathin' son-of-a-gun     that would be a great name for a country song 

lyrics anyone?    LTBBQ could have it's own theme song......now how cool is that?

Jaxon...do you cook directly over the charcoal? I cook off to the side then finish crisping over the coals. I could be doing it wrong.  Pam .☆´¯`•.¸¸. ི♥ྀ

Jaxon sounds like your wife is a real keeper!
