    No one tell my wife . . .

    That I bought a SnS today.



    Actually, we each have a slush fund that we can spend as we see fit. I had enough stashed away to take care of it.

    Nice work! Congrats on the new toy.

      What's her name and best contact number, and what is left in your slush fund? I want a stand alone data logger.

      You won't regret it. I rarely cook on my kettle without using the SNS in some form or another.

      just need to build up my slush fund for the SNS RKE and the XL for the 26er I am hopefully picking up this weekend.

        FireMan Yep. $175 with a cover. Looks to be in great shape. I have been checking FB Marketplace and Craigslist daily for a couple years. This is the first 26 I have seen.

        Will go great with the Ranch and my 4 22s

        The 22 SnS works perfectly well in the 26.

        JeffJ Yeah, I will probably use my regular SNS in the 26 for now but definitely want to get the XL at some point. Actually I want 2 of them so I can use them in the Ranch as well since they aren't making the RKE any more.

      Haha that’s what I did last year - I justified it as being ‘necessary’in order to cook the 4 turkeys I was asked to cook last November. The Drip ‘N Griddle and Easy Spin grate snuck in over the next 12 months.

        Did the same exact thing. Of all of them i utilize the SnS the most by far.

      One of these days, I’m going to win the amazingribs giveaway and I’m NOT going to tell my wife until it shows up at my door!

          Oh, I will. The post was tongue-in-cheek. We hit 15 years this year, and she's indulging my BBQ hobby.

        What is her email address? If you send me money to buy what I want, and my wife won't let me buy, I will never tell. Lock Stock and Barrel - Married 30 years this year but she started finding out about (what is now known as MCS) purchases in year -2. Your 30 year rule would have been fantastic!

          I bought a supercharger for my sports car, and that weekend I went over to a friend’s house and we installed it.

          About 6 months later she found the receipt. She didn’t say anything, she just put it in a place where I could see it. I picked it up, shrugged to myself, and put it back where I had it before.

          That was 15 years ago. It’s never come up. Trust me, you can do it.

          "What is THAT?"
          ”A box.”

          Then go about your business.

            Nice! I couldn't even talk myself in buying a supercharger for my vette when I was single.

          My wife deserves what she gets. Forty one years married. Years ago, i was out of town and she bought a complete new set of furniture. Not yet paid her back, but maybe some day.

              35 years for me. Slush funds are the way to go for both of us. Your SNS will be a game changer. I'm jealous of anyone with a 26" kettle. So, obviously my slush fund is not there yet. For now other toys (new rifle optics right now) keep getting in the way and my existing 22" with SNS and PBC rock.

                I usually wait for a clothes shopping expedition to Houston or for a box of dainty little shoes to arrive in the mail to make or reveal my surreptitious activities.

                BTW, for the single members, follow the advice of the Car Talk guys: STOCK UP NOW.
