My wife is very happy with me BBQing all the time rather then getting a sports car and a silicone inflated bimbo on the side.
At lease the BBQ will kill me slowly rather then the alternative.

I did both, got a supercharged Mustang GT and a Brazos smoker. My wife had a lot of eye rolls but she loves the meat 🤷🏻♀️

Though this is funny, I don’t smoke meat as a hobby, this is a way to cook banging ass food for dinner and then eat it 4 – 5 nights in a row, so I don’t have to cook more.

This is funny – this is me!

You gotta have a couple other money pits to focus on while the meat’s on the smoker though. Archery, guns, hunting and 4×4 complement the BBQ addiction nicely!

Jenna Kim Jones is great. She and her husband have a podcast too.

Lol. I bet she’s not complaining too much at home. Once you have something smoked just right, you wont want to go back!
We did get into smoking meats a few years back. Always wanted to try it. And it’s awesome.
We’ll smoke a few things every couple weekends, and have leftovers for most of the following week.

Not true! I don’t just smoke meat…I also read books about WWII.

My wife’s never complained when she puts my meat in her mouth.
…That sounded much less questionable in my head….

Why i started – the price of bbq eating out is insane! I can get 4 racks of ribs at sams for $40.

Midlife crisis? I started doing this in my mid 20’s. I’m 32 now. Should I start getting my affairs in order?

Yea?I dont hear you bitching about us guys wasting 40k dollars on a sports car. All you say is “mmm that smells good babe. Let’s add some corn on the cob for dinner”

I must be having a midlife crisis at 24

This isn’t a “midlife crisis,” sister. It’s “finally acquiring the financial means and time to do what we always would have done at 20.”
It’s like the scold who wrote the op-ed when software developers first started to really make bank complaining about “a bunch of twentysomething men acting like they’re 50.” No, they’re acting like men. It just had usually taken the average man until 50 to be able to act that way before.

The idea that people suddenly want to smoke stuff like its a hobby and buy toys, just means they were not cooking likely up to that point, or maybe had a grill. So what? It’s cooking. Can it be hobby-like for some people? Sure. But it’s still cooking.
I grew up with smoked food and BBQ in general, so it’s just always been there. I’ve been smoking for decades off and on. Lately I’m doing it twice a week with enough for left overs and I use it to meal prep. No complaints in my house. We liked smoked meats.
Roll on brothers.

I don’t see a problem with this. We’re just putting food on the table.

I’m going to get so downvoted for this, but men have been cooking great food of all sorts for a very long time. I know a great many women who are also great cooks, but times have changed and guys like me love to cook for my family. To call smoking meat a hobby is silly. I’m really into my iron and enamel French oven, too. Does that make it a hobby? A method of cooking is a method of cooking. Now, WWII documentaries? That is definitely one of my midlife crisis hobbies and I won’t deny it!

I make smoked salt, workout 6 days a week, control my diet like a crazy person and custom make all my own audio equipment. More on the spectrum than a midlife crisis though

I started competitive BBQing at age 24 in Texas. I bought my BMW M4 Comp at 48 when I retired. I don’t have the giant offset Klose anymore, but I still have 8 various gas & charcoal smokers, grills, griddles, and pizza ovens that take up time. Asado to yakatori and going 0-60 in 3.8 seconds, I have you covered.
