My Dad & Mom surprised me on Christmas with my own Mini Max. I am excited to use it but, because I'm a night owl when it comes to work my Pops is helping me as far as set-up and general cooking at first. Other than that I'm good.
You know my old man. And here's some shots after assembly. @McStew Thanks for the handles! Awesome. Just like my Dads.
My first cook I went with a couple Chuck Roasts. Used our normal lump charcoal Rockwood and a bunch of Oak Wood. The meat got rubbed with Holy Cow and finished with a herb compound butter Dad made a few weeks ago.
Dialing it in.
After they got some good smoke I covered them with some compound butter. Sorry no finished pulled shots. I have to go to work now. I'm working the 3rd shift as usual.
I'm looking forward to many more cooks on this.

@Jeepster47 LoL Tom! We were totally just talking about Lump. I don't like having less than 100# and now a at around 70# I'm twitchy. He just laughed because he knows it's killing me not having that bag on his table to match mine.

Great story. Get after it!

Simply awesome brother. Your dad is a great man. I haven't had the pleasure of meeting him in person yet, but I have spent countless hours talking to him on the phone. I have a lot of respect for him. Congrats on the new egg and look forward to your future cooks. Enjoy it young man.

That's freaking sweet. Always awesome to see a parent promote and facilitate something their child has a passion for. Great looking cook also.

Awesome! He told me a few months ago this was in the plans. Now you can cook during the day while we are all wasting time on the forum at work.

How do you guys find those carts? I notice you have charcoal on the bottom to balance the weight but do you find its top heavy? Could it tip over on a smaller incline?XLBGE, MMBGE, CyberQ

Congrats on the present from Santa. I'm sure you will put it to good use. Happy new year to you and yours.I raise my kids, cook and golf.

Congratulations on your mighty fine gift and the set up rocks!!
Your first cook was a home run to say the least. I wouldn't have expected any less look at the meals your dad cranks out. -
who's this dad guy taking pictures anyway? Oh, you mean the new number two cook? Nice work dad!
