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

Maiden voyage underway. She's doing 2 pork tenderloins, one with our spicy honey rub, one with our steak rub blend. Using lumberjack apple pellets.

Kinda liking this...I ain't gotta do nothing but play photographer.

Congratulations! That is just so awesome. Unfortunately my daughter didn't get interested in cooking umeat ntil she left home,well mabey little sooner lol! Its the best Smoking meat together or in a competition. Enjoy your time - I'm jealous.

So cool. That smile says it all.
And I got a damn good feeling, those tenderloins are gonna be incredible .
Great work Quig.

Alright its all done. And was daaaaaamnnnn good. I got a few pics while she was slicing, then she wanted to get a "proper picture like dad" of the plated meal by herself.

My action shots:

And her completed, plated picture she took using some of my past pics for guidance.

I'm one proud papa today.

Looks perfect. Contragulations

 

[JLinza]

Dang. That looks spot on. I'd belly up to that plate any day. Great work, young lady.

The second one with our honey rub took a bit longer, just pulled it off. The color, cook, and flavor are perfect. I'm truly amazed, she asked me a few questions, then went and did this without help.

It was so good I caught my youngest on the counter like a raccoon digging through garbage stealing slices off it.

Absolutely tell her it looks great! How many of us ever have that big of a smile?
Pretty sure you have many dad's that are proud of her... and her parents for the young lady you've raised! You should maybe do a poll on how many adopted dads, uncles, and grandpas or papas that she just adopted! Think I'll join the younger one on clean up duty!

Oh for sure... once her head comes back down to normal size.

 

[JckDanls 07]

[sandyut]

She killed it! I cant imagine how proud you are. You are a good dad my friend.

I got $10.00 on the young lady! I am happy with my six year old just helping to flip the steaks and things on the grill!

Love it!!!
My (grown) kids aren't really interested in smoking, but they'll happily eat anything I make.
My son decided to make a layer cake for Christmas, and used a full box of cake mix for each 9-in. round pan. Then panicked when he saw them overflowing. Geez, kid. Read the back of the box. It's not that hard.

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.
