Sparky, the family that grills together. ..stays together!

That is a nifty little grill you got her. I hope she has fun cooking next to the old man.

What a good Dad! One of the better purchases for your kids. Now all you have to do is supply the "encouragement" and "suggestions". They can be very creative on their own.

Nice little smoker for yourself. Now you can have dualing Weber Smokers side by side cooking different things.

Good job!

If she hasn't already learned a few of your trade secrets, she will now.  Remind her to "mind the Master"!  A lot to be learned from you Dad.

I can't say no either.....beautiful grills

That charcoal storage thing on the performer is actually handy for stuff. I use mine for grill grates, charcoal tongs, gloves and the like. But I don't use it for charcoal.

I've had my Performer for about six years (also blue, but with gas starter).  It'll cook anything you want it to  ;D

I love the new blue performer, sparky! It looks like it's sporting their new digital clock/timer. Nice!
