Birthday Gifts

The girls got daddy a smoker for his birthday. It's a gas smoker so I'm not sure how expensive it will become to slow cook meat using the propane tank...but I got a good deal since it was one of the last summer items on the floor at Lowes...right next to the inflatable pumpkins and talking mummies and across the isle from the mechanical Santa Clause and 8 foot tall plastic snow globes! Geesh...it's still September! So hopefully he likes it, because I'm not sure about the return policy on assembled floor items.

We had a smoker in the early days of our marriage but it fell victim to a poor paper recycling idea (a story for another post). Brad has used our Weber in place of a traditional smoker with a lot of success...but he is always limited in space. I thought this would give him enough space to cook our Thanksgiving turkey without any problems!
