    Old argument: Wife - "It is cold, you need to turn the thermostat up". Me - "No, it's hot. Don't touch the thermostat". Wife - "You are a/an (insert adjective).

    New argument: Wife - "It is cold, you need to turn the thermostat up". Me - "Interesting, I perceive it to be hot. Could we try to spend a few minutes adapting to our environment and see if we still feel the same way". Wife - "You are a funny (insert adjective), how am I supposed to argue with that?"

      Oh hell no. She can put on a sweater. I ain't gonna sweat all night. Hmmmm maybe that's why there's a spare bedroom. I guess that's why we're all in the "smoke house".

      Turn up th' stat. Visibly.
      Turn off th' breaker. Not visibly.

    Just tell her that if she is that worried about it she can take turns with you staying up all night to tend the fire.

      This reminds me. Of the guy who made a plywood smoker, then lit it up & tried to smoke meat between two houses. Fire Dept. was called, don't remember if there was any damage or not. By the way, we have a town ordinance of 10ft from apt. bldg, so you should be more than allright if the pointy headed geeks think it's ok.

        I remember that. That guy was looking for disaster. Pretty crazy. But seriously I've had this setup for over a year and no problems. One thing to add is there's always a slight breeze so the heat is dissipated before it gets close to the fence.

      There are cookers designed to sit inside wood cook stations with not alot of clearance (less than an inch). Not mine shown below but if this won't burn. ...

        Nother idea, use it as an excuse to get another cooker so you use the one you aren't cooking on as a buffer in the name of safety. Let us know if it works. MCS yeah!

          Might as well throw a couple burgers on the buffer poker just in case the chain reaction does start. By the time the pit is done "supporting" you, it's gonna cost your wife about $5K in mcs.

        Worth a try, faux chaux....
        Empirical data matters not one iota, in these situations, as I'm sure ya'll know, right?
        From either side of th' gender fence??
        Nice Save, Brother EdF !!! Good Man!!!

          +1 on the empirical data, logic has no place in the argument.

          JeffHillyard It's risky to ask a serious question that even remotely involves the eternal battle of the sexes. What did you finally end up doing?

            gcdmd The cook won't be until next week. It's not looking good for an overnight cook...

              Here is the real answer JeffHillyard Go spend $100 bucks on some pretty shiny rocks called diamonds this week, maybe attached to earrings. Start that cook and right after starting the charcoal, walk into the house, give your wife a kiss and hand her that pretty little box. She won't care how much you spent and you will be able to cook overnight until death do you part
