       | from the stresses of raising a family is a feature, not a bug -
       | but also as a fan of perfectly smoked meats, I get it. This piece

         | You can drink your beer while avoiding your family just as
         | easily with a controller. Also, egg (kamado) style grills are
         | very good at holding a specific temperature if you get the
         | inlet/outlet airflow dialed in
