Well my son has got the Egg fever and bought his first BGE last week. His first cook was a couple of butts this past weekend. Love that smell and white smoke!!

    I would be "devastated" if one of my kids wanted to cook with gas.

    So far in the two plus months I have had my Egg, I know of 4 people I have now directly influenced getting an egg for themselves. The taste bud is a very powerful weapon!!
    Just bought an Egg?  Here is what you get to look forward to now:

    Plate Setter, FlameBoss 200, Spider, PSWOO-CI, Additional Rig Shelf for dome cooking, Thermapen, iGrill2, Cast Iron, Blackstone, Cooking Accessories for the Blackstone, Cover for the Egg and the Blackstone, shopping for Rub like a fine wine or IPA, and a new fascination with lump and what brand is the best-all to be debated every Friday Night.  Next desires-Joetisceriie, Adjustable Rig, Grillmates, table and more eggs

    Nice...yep my 7 year old loves the Cookers and food I put out. I think the kids pick up on the joy we have cooking and food it produces that they naturally know it's a good thing and brings dad pride.
    kudos!!!

    That's Awesome @JohnnyTarheel, my son is only 7 and I am still trying to get him to be interested.  Maybe I will get him to help put on the rub when I do something big again.  He doesn't seem to be that interested.  It is nice to pass down things to your kids that others can enjoy as well.

    That's great about your grandson. With any luck he's a really smart kid and will go to Duke.

    Very nice. Now buy a "Handler" for Christmas for that Large. Very safe insurance for moving that puppy.

    My wife still laughs at me when I take pictures of everything I cook. Took a picture of Captain Crunch Cereal the other day just to get a reaction.
