So I posted about getting a new 22 WSM for my nephews (turning 13) that like when we visit them to cook bbq. We surprised it to them today. Staying a their friends condo rental down the street and they are hanging with us all weekend.

Didn't have time to wrap it and it was just in the cargo carrier when they saw it. They asked if I got a new one and I said I did and told them how I hadn't had a WSM in a while and wanted to try out this new one with them.

After I got them to free labor move it out back, I was telling them how it operates and then said "the coolest feature about this WSM is that it's actually yours :becky:". They went nuts and now they are about to start cooking :clap2:.

The cow head actually won't hit until tomorrow or Sunday. But tonight is some ribs, trip tip and sausage. I also brought a brisket, corned ribs, corned butt, got a regular butt and some other stuff for the Labor Day weekend.

Going to do nothing and just instruct and drink beer and other stuff :biggrin1:

This has the makings for a truly epic Labor Day Weekend.

It appears that someone was a little "Gassy" a bit earlier, and I had to chuckle at the training canister attached to the mask.

I hope those boys are soaking up the instruction like a couple of sponges.

Have a great time, and keep the pron flowing like... uh... beer... or whatever was in that jar. :wink:

Great gift and obviously well spent money, the kids are taking to it like only a kid can, way to give them a great confidence builder and new skill.

Ya cow head taco. This cow head was "less potent" than the previous one I did. I'm sure they can all vary, but last one was super potent in terms of "gamey beef" flavor. Folks scarfed this one down.

They are very active. The live a mile from the beach and go there all the time to play, surf, fish and other stuff. They dont have phones or tablets. Pretty cool. My kids will be the same way. :grin:

as much as I love them, there is a reason why I turned it off at 19 with only one.

What a great weekend! I had a similar experience with my son only it was deer hunting. When I tried to teach him how to grill and Q, he totally blew me off.


Noticed a lot of beer/wine/liquor pictures. Tell me you didn't teach them about that too!:roll:

Fanfarkingtastic thread as always, Jason! I was picking at a pig head myself this weekend after our pig roast (it may have gotten pushed a little to the side and a little out of sight for later...:spy:)

Great stuff all around - thanks for sharing it with us!

If by "great teacher" you mean a guy that sat around and drank beer and told/yelled sarcastically a bunch at 13yr olds to cook bbq, then yes.....i was that :becky:
