I would be one proud PaPa, and I'm sure you are! I'd bet my next house payment she will bring in home in style.
Be careful when following the masses. Sometimes the M is silent.

@bucky925 and @GoooDawgs she’s got her alarm set for 1:30am so she can put it on. She’s an amazing kid, with a heart of gold.XL BGE, KJ classic, Joe Jr, UDS x2

Tell her I’m standing by for the finale 👍
Location- Just "this side" of Biloxi, Ms.
Status- Standing by.
The greatest barrier against all wisdom, the stronghold against knowledge itself, is the single thought, in ones mind, that they already have it all figured out. -
You've gotta be quite proud.
Good luck with the back surgery. I know that can be a long recovery (three back surgeries here).
Looking forward to seeing the results of this cook. -
@SGH she’s so pumped about doing this all by herself. She’s got the xl egg loaded and ready to light at 130.
She told me she’s ready to go big time, she’s ordered herself a few shirts and a tent for this summers bbq business.XL BGE, KJ classic, Joe Jr, UDS x2 -
@epcotisbest this was number 4 for me and it was a failure. So I’m looking at another one next yearXL BGE, KJ classic, Joe Jr, UDS x2

@ryantt Hope you are feeling better soon. How much did Norah end up trimming off the brisket?It's "Smokin Gal", not "Smoking Al".

@Ryantt- i hate to hear that about your back surgeries, man. Hope they figure this out.Pro tip on the 1:30am lighting of the egg: Light it now and get it stable, go to bed. When she wakes up at 1:30, she can throw it on and go right back to bed. She will be up for 30 minutes max. I do this when I have a 6am start. I light it, get it stable, and go to bed at 11-12 and when I get up, the egg is ready to roll. Throw the brisket on and go back to bed for an hour or 2. You are burning pennies of lump in those few hours and it gives your bge a chance to get rock solid stable for hours while you sleep.Keepin' It Weird in The ATX FBTX

Good tip @The Cen-Tex SmokerXL BGE, KJ classic, Joe Jr, UDS x2

I don't know where to start except WOW. What a talent. As you are well aware, there can be a few fits and starts with the cook but maintain the temp and go with the trust me "feel" and she will be home-free.If you have a chance, I always cut a piece off the lean edge of the flat perpendicular to the grain run so as to know the direction of cut once the meteorite has been created.What a Christmas present- talk about moving straight to the Show. I am in awe of her accomplishments.Merry Christmas to Norah Grace and @ryantt and all who support her tremendous focus and skills.Louisville; Rolling smoke in the neighbourhood. # 38 for the win. Life is too short for light/lite beer! Seems I'm livin in a transitional period.

Fires started. Now when Norah Grace gets up she can just toss on the brisket and head back to bed. Thanks @The Cen-Tex Smoker for the heads up, this is going to let her get more rest.
@lousubcap we appreciate your kindworkds and continued support of Norah Grace and her cooking adventure. It always puts a smile on her face when I tell her what you guys are saying about her efforts

When are we getting this kid a YouTube channel?!?
She needs to be a special guest on @tarheelmatt Hungry Hussey."Brought to you by bourbon, bacon, and a series of questionable life decisions."

@Killit_and_Grillit actually emailed Matt the other day and he gave us some good insight. Also Harry Soo has given us some ideas to help get her started. She’s excited.XL BGE, KJ classic, Joe Jr, UDS x2

Well Norah Grace was up at 0130 and came down to check on me and get her fire rolling. I told her dad already started it and it was rolling away 230. She went out and adjusted the vents to her liking and 15 min later on went the brisket. Will takes some picks in the morning.XL BGE, KJ classic, Joe Jr, UDS x2
