Nice, MacKenzie, except for that one little thing! 

Pizza sauce????? 

Recently my middle daughter moved into a new house.  I set up a small Weber Q on a rolling cart for her and my grandson (Danny - 7 years old) to use.  I also gave Danny a grill tool kit that he could call his own.

One night we cooked burgers & dogs, I showed him how to light the grill and how to adjust the flame to cook the food.  He did a nice job for the first time.

About a week later, I got this photo from my daughter.  Danny had one of his buddy’s over at the house and he was showing his friend how to cook burgers for dinner.  Daughter said he did everything by his self and did a good job on the burgers.  She said he was so proud of himself and his buddy thought his grill was super cool!!!

 Touched this old grandpa’s heart !   Pretty sure a KK will be in his future!!

Thanks to all. I expect delivery in a week or two, as long as there is no snow. Ha! It is Alabama. I don't think I have to worry.

Congratulations!!!   You know you just put the weather curse on yourself 

I was able to fit 4 - 8# butts on the 19" TT.  Only problem I had was that the dome temp probe stuck into one of the top butts and I didn't know it until midway into the cook.  Had to guess the cooker temp and used the internal meat temp to finish the cook as normal.

It was on my first big butt cook and for the next cook I adjusted the top butts as shown below. Solved the problem.

You should have no problems on the 23 KK

First low and slow of the year, 5 baby back slabs.

Loved your last picture............................ 

MacKenzie and I were talking off line about the first game where Team Canada beat the US team.  We talked about what a great game it was.  

We knew the championship match would be a close one and tried to have some fun with the BBQ betting.

I know we both wish the game would have ended in regulation or overtime play, instead of coming down to a shoot out. 

Just our personal preferences.   

It was interesting to see the different ideas forum members had on the format.  Have to say...............I learned a few things. 

Tried to let her off the hook on the bet......but she would have no part of that. 

In fact she said she had something "special" in mind.    I think I should be scared !!!!

Too much fun

Note:  MacKenzie and I are in the middle of intense negotiations as to the secret BBQ "recycle empties" bet payment.

Hopefully, if and when we come to an agreement, the final plans will be announced. 

The results of the negotiations are final........................I was told by MacKenzie, in no uncertain terms,  that the bet was for a "surprise BBQ care package" and what part of "surprise" didn't I understand???? 

Teach her to mess with a master negotiator like me!!!!!

Jon, I have my agents watching her house, if she tries to run or swim to Europe....We'll let you know.

Gosh, I hope she doesn't go on the lam or visit the Queen...............trying to get cooking lessons as my payment!!!  (Will settle for photography lessons).

Congratulations, Jon.  What a great hard fought game, it had everything a fan could want.  I am exhausted.  Only one thing left, Jon you need to send my a personal message with your mailing address.  I am taking my empties to the recycle depot today.  

It was a hard fought battle and could have gone either way.  I do feel for Team Canada losing such a close match.

May the best girls win!!!!!!

PS: Signing off for the day....need a nap if I'm going to watch this match.  

As wilberpan used to say "vaporware"..........................................................................

Only one thing to say to that........................................................................................

No confusion,,,this is a good bet between friends and I expect to stand clear and remain impartial.  So Jon what you cooking for the victory dinner?

I'm sure MacKenzie () will send me some really cool stuff after Wednesday night

Jon, you are on but I thought you were on my side or is this just a ruse for you to send me a gift? ROFL

We are only 100 miles from the Canadian border but I still have to bet on the American ladies for the win this time !

Thought we could have a little fun with this  ..............  I think they have team Canada's number tomorrow night!!!!!!!! 

@MacKenzie    Wanna bet? ................I say that the US Woman's hockey team will beat the Canadian Woman's hockey team this time around for the Gold Metal! 

How about a surprise BBQ cooking care package as the stakes?????   

I know you have a couple Nova Scotia ladies on the team and you beat us already.........................Think they can do it again or will the US ladies rise to the occasion?????? 

PS:  Spring is right around the corner.........................

Eating your country's mascot???????????????????????????  Yikes!!!   

Have great childhood memories but we grew up on Kraft Mac & Cheese and Kraft Spaghetti from a box.  I think Mom's special dinner was hamburger stroganoff. 

Dad did cook hamburgers outside on the charcoal grill ......but they all tasted like the lighter fluid he used to get the charcoals going.

My sisters and I got really good at making grilled american cheese sandwiches and sending Mom & Dad out to dinner .

Different motivation but I believe that is why I enjoy cooking so much today!!!!!!
