The 'manly' way to cook

So I pondered... if I have to invite some buddies over for a football game... in what manner could I cook, but not have them thinking... heck I don't know... but liking cooking too much can be a bit like the guy at work you ask how his weekend was, and he actually starts telling you what it was like. Whoa Tex, TMI, the correct answer is, 'Good, yours?'

So for manly cooking, I think a smoker pretty much is the king of the crop. Yeah I know you can cook good food on pretty much anything, but there is a difference between a Harley and a scooter. If I am going to be able to tell anyone (other than the internet) about anything I cook, it better not be about a quiche. Yet. There may be a time when my chest is so pumped up I am perfectly fine discussing, I don't know... salads, but I doubt it.

So smoker it is. I searched around for a depending, reputable smoker, that there was a lot of hands on info available on the internet, and for me, the Weber Smokey Mountain won. Why? Just check out the name... 'Smokey Mountain.' Smokey. Mountain. Weber (American made, hard working, dependable, tough) (*under breath* and maybe a little overpriced) but damn it, I am a hard working American, wanting to do some cooking to help the family unit, and the Weber Smokey Mountain is what I want to be. So here she is:

 What wonderful creations will I conjure in yonder treasure? Or will that thing launch into space in an explosion of grease and broken dreams. Just you wait to see.
