if you could buy one piece of photo equipment, money no object what would it be?

I cannot believe how many of y'all have these smokers. I just cruise on down to the local bbq place for mine. Delicious, much less trouble and mess, and more disposable income to be spent on camera equipment.

You have obviously not tought of what it cost to purchase bbq vs make your own.

Plus i have never found a bbq place that makes better bbq than I do, some are pretty good, but not better to me than what I make.

See, I've never been able to make anything better than a decent restaurant. I'm rather hopeless in the kitchen. Right now, my kids' oatmeal is probably burning and sticking to the bottom of the pan.

unfortunately "BBq" by us is usually really broiled meat drowned in open pit sauce

our kids gave us a little smoker a couple yrs back for our anniversary and while it's definitely not top of the line it gets the job done...think it was $50 or so. but it works best when the temp outside is far above the 21 degrees it is now i'm surprised none of the texans are in on this...best bbq i ever had was when we lived there, there was an ox roast type thing every yr( i was a mere babe but i remember how good it was) different than the NC BBQ which comes in second( but closer to get)

Jen -

I'm kind of with you on this. However, I have learned that if I don't question DH on his Bbq purchases, he doesn't question me on my camera stuff. I quickly learned that the bbq thing is as bad as a DSLR. I actually bought DH his smoker as an anniversary present and thought that he would be set. Oh, was I wrong! Talk about accessories! I never knew it was so complicated. Gotta agree with Master on this though - nothing is as good as your own bbq!

Dh and I do make a pulled pork bbq from a recipe in the Weber Big Book of Grilling that is delicious. It claims to be a "western Carolina" bbq sauce. We love it. Maybe we're missing out. It never occurred to me to smoke our own meat, but like I said, I can't imagine going to all that trouble.

Dh has golf and skiing to balance out my camera stuff. I figure the two ski trips he's taken this winter alone are enough to justify my D300. That's good financial sense, isn't it?

I'm going to check that out. We're headed on a western road trip this summer and I hate fast food. Maybe I'll find some interesting places to stop.

You can't take it with you!
