It's all fun and games until your kid decides she's coming for your crown.

Very cool and proud moment,.

She has snatched the pebble from your hand. ( a TV " Kung Fu " quote )


Good for her.

What does a typical 11 year old spend their money on? Video games? Clothes? Candy? Nope...not our kid. My 11 year old wanted to use a portion of her Christmas money to buy her very first smoker, all by herself. She got an ASMOKE AS350 mini pellet smoker at Menards for $89. She's already trying to challenge me to a throw-down.

Proud dad moment today. Very, very proud moment.

Proud for you brother. Awesome young lady..

As mentioned, she was in charge of the shotgun shells for yesterday's festivities.

Not too bad for a rookie.

I'd bet that we will be seeing her on TV in the future.

She really wants a YouTube channel, but I'm the mean ol' dad that says she's too young

 

[RatAssassin]

She's a great kid. And she was proud as can be at telling me all about her new smoker.

Junior Pimaster is back at it. She wanted to do a whole chicken (which JUST fit on the mini smoker), so let her run with it. Helped me make an injection with beer, butter, soy, W sauce, Chalula, and other spices. Used some spray duck fat for the binder, and rubbed with our Fortune Favors the Bold blend (her favorite). Lumberjack Apple pellets in the smoker, bird is sitting at 160° IT, so should be eating soon.

In action.

The bird.

So it turned out awesome, chicken was full of flavor and juices, drippings made an amazingly delicious gravy. Couple completed pics...

The finished bird.

With the pitmaster.

Plated.

Great lookin bird

 

[mneeley490]

Looks great! She's a chip off the ol' block, for sure!

 

[smokerjim]

Looks like ya had a excellant meal, tell her great job!

 

[JckDanls 07]

Yep, Awesome...

Did she cut the bird up as well ??

 

[Quiganomics]

Yep, Awesome...

Did she cut the bird up as well ??

No, she left that for me. She was going to but decided last second that she didn't feel confident enough to do it. But aside from paying for and carving the bird, she did it on her own, just asking a few questions along the way.

...she did have her first experience with injection blowout though

 

[Fueling Around]

She deserves her own set of knives

 

[Quiganomics]

Update on the Junior Pitmaster...she's moved onto smoking chuck roasts and making tacos. She wanted to make a FB Reel, I obliged.

Smoked Pulled Beef Tacos


Not sure if that worked, never attached a video here before.

 

[Winterrider]

Very nice, she's gonna take over which isn't a bad thing at all.

For sure. Especially since I have a face made for radio and a voice made for print.

 

[mneeley490]

Very cute video. I'll be watching for her on Food Network.
I have a similar knife to the one she's using, though mine is an 8" chef's knife.

Tell you what, that might be an untapped media lane. I can't think of a BBQ channel made by kids. She really could get paid if she got a big following.

Anyway, I'm here for the rib contest between you two and the rest of the fam are the judges!!!!
