My wife does nearly 100% and would not have it any other way. When the smoker is needed I set it up, but she operates it. Same for the grill.
Once in a great while when we are camping I will grill the food, but that is typically when she is occupied with something else.

I do all the cooking, by choice and practicality.
During the week I get home from work earlier than she does- so I have dinner ready for her and the kids by the time she’s home with the kids. However on the weekend, it’s a little different… I cook because I like my food newer than burnt and food poisoning.
While in NOLA, we took a cooking course, and the instructor stated that cooking is preparing food, and therefore peeling a banana is “cooking”. She stands by that.

My wife will get by with a bowl of cereal for dinner because she doesn't like to cook.
So if I want anything to eat, I'm on my own.
I could wish a lot of things on my worst enemy but neuropathy ain't one of them.

I'd like to do more. Do most on the weekend, a bit during the week. Wife does a lot during the week, we usually have a taco night and an Italian night with squash noodles or something similar.

I do the cooking. I live with 17 and 20 year old boys and my girlfriend. I don't want to eat anything they could possibly produce on the stove.

Evenly split I reckon for inside cooking, dictated by who happens to get around to it. Both pretty good at it.
I do all the outside grilling and smoking.

I cook, she cleans.
Life would be pure hell for both of us if it was the other way around……!

About 50/50 here though she does 90% of the grilling.
Conduct is the best proof of character.

Hanco: Thank goodness the VarmintWife is such a wonderful traditional "homestyle" cook - and she LOVES to do it. Her "pot roast dinners" always come out perfect - and we eat "leftovers" for several days afterwards. The VarmintWifes "rhubarb/custard" pies are known throughout the county and always requested. She also does a wonderful job on carrot cake, pineapple upside down cake and apple pie. I can ONLY cook two things I am proud of = old fashioned beef stew (my mother taught me the secrets to this!) and venison "sheepherder style". Like the Jewish American Princesses another thing I am good at making is "reservations"! Hold into the wind VarmintGuy

My wife does most of the cooking but I do some, I would say 80/20
I may not be smart but I can lift heavy objects
I have a shotgun so I have no need for a 30-06.....

About 70% me. Wife can cook pretty good but she still works.
Somebody's got to work to pay the inflated prices nowadays.
