I just went thru the same thing with my wife. Said I wanted to get a pellet smoker so I wouldn't have to feed the damn fire every hour all night long and end up face down in my Thanksgiving dinner the next day. She said if I wanted a new smoker, I had to get rid of one of my existing smokers -- one in, one out. It's like choosing which one of your children you want to give away.
Fortunately, she approved the purchase in time for Thanksgiving, but before I gave one up. So now I figure as long as I fit the new one in, maybe it gets lost in the shuffle and I keep them all.
Of course, she doesn't know I also have my eye on that new red Weber kettle and a KBQ -- I'm currently mapping out how and when to manage that communication!
