Lumpy: I used that exact line on my wife...that's how I got my DBS! I think it was like this "All I'll ever need is a DBS smoker, a cpl of boxes of smoke pucks and an electronic temp guage....and I'll never bother you again". I have to "stay the course" at least for a couple of months or I may not live long enough to enjoy the fine eats that will come with my smoker.
