What kind of flowers would you put in it? If you plant the kind she likes, she's less likely to be upset.

OK... Assuming by flower pot you mean a kamado-style cooker, tell her how versatile they are. I love my Big Green Eggs because I can smoke at almost any temp, including cold smoking, grill at lava temperatures, roast meats and bake breads,etc. and make great pizzas.
An old friend once said that "a Big Green Egg costs more than it should, but it is worth more than it costs!"

You are looking to find a way to reason with your wife?
:shocked:
Just go save 2x whatever the amount you want to spend, and use that extra amount to buy her shoes, handbags, whatever she normally blows the money on without worrying about consulting with you first.
LOL, sorry brother, obviously I have no idea what I am talking about here, I have managed to live my 37 years thus far without having any kind of responsibility, I just draw my suggestions from watching the broken and crushed hopes and dreams of my married friends.

That's deep right there.
Pros
Long cooks with minimum fuss. I've cooked for 15 hours on one load of lump.
It is esthetically pleasing.
Versatile
Take her to a demo. I went to my first last month at my dealer. Although he cooked 0 of anything I liked, I enjoyed it.
Cons
Cost (duh)
Accessories. You will want some.
weighs a ton
you will want another one.
180 opposite from OP. Yesterday at the range I noticed she was shooting the high dollar ammo instead of practice ammo. I've never been prouder. But there are marriages as pictured below, I'll say a prayer. Then you take the little lady by the hand and ask her to help you decide between Primo, Egg, KJ etc. Present the options as "which one" not "if".

Just make sure you don't leave any meat in there to spoil and become maggot ridden. The story goes that once that happens, they are IMPOSSIBLE to clean both physically and mentally. Unless of course the damage is somewhat more negligable and it is all a ruse in an atempt to con the spousal unit into agreeing to purchase another smok-e-mabobber.

What's the matter with you, tell her who's the boss, and that you don't need her permission to buy anything. Then do what ever she says, like the rest of us. Good luck!

Considering you can run those suckers up to almost 1000 degrees, I don't believe that for a second.
If it gets funky, cleanse it with fire.

somebody shut me the fark up.
What is this 'ask the wife' garbage? STEP UP! A real man buys what he wants, hides the evidence, sneaks it in piece by piece and lies like a rug about the cost.

I've tried both ways and if you lie it always comes back to bite you. Better off being up front.
In my case, my wife doesn't give me a lot of BS as long as it is within reason. Now to buy a BGE or other Kamado type, then I would definitely have to get her opinion. She may say no but usually comes around at some point.

lol, I thought I was the only one that operated like that
When it doubt, get rid of the packaging and tell her that you got it for next to nothing at a garage sale.

Nevermind.

Better yet, tell her its a curb find. "I was just riding around the country club honey...."
I don't own one and find it hard to swallow when that price tag hangs as heavy as it does. But that's the only bad thing I've heard about them.

Watching over us.
If you buy a BGE from one of their dealers is comes with a lifetime warranty to the original buyers.
