Yah, good points.

I got nuked in June 2009 but recently found a gig. After She Who Must Be Obeyed gets through prying the paneling off the walls and we get the new floors layed in I get to play around with my/our income, and a new cooker is in there.

She thinks I am a rib-cooking god. And I am. But money is always tight and proper forethought is important, especially when it comes to planning a new place to BURN MY DINNER!

Yep, for ribs, you want grill and slow smoke. Two different gadgets.

I'd invest in a oxy/acetylene rig and build my own as required. Besides, you can use the cutting torch attachment for carmelizing the sugar on creme brulee.

I am, after all, classically trained by a school that teaches from Escoffier. ;)
