Update - went with the Egg afterall and we've got the hang of things. First cook - an 8" oatmeal chocolate chip skillet cookie, second cook a cherry smoked 2lb chipotle meatloaf, 3rd - some "does everything have to taste smoky?" non-smoky and oh so moist chicken breasts. 4th - equally moist wild caught salmon and tonight, I just put on an 8lb pork shoulder which, if all goes according to plan will be a smoked marvel in 16 hours and get pulled to smithereens to devour! Going to babysit the thermometer for one more hour before going to bed but she's been holding and smoking nice at 200. I have a flock of wings to experiment with Wednesday and six racks of baby back ribs for the coming weekend.

Something about the wife not having to cook much has the new house pretty happy-happy
