Like the others I am truly sorry to hear about your dad's diagnosis, but this is a beautiful story and a memory that you can look back on and smile as time goes on.

My Stepdad had a year or two 8ish years ago, he's absolutely tired off the treatments but we've had tons of small wins... hopefully your family ends up with similar results. Every day past that initial diagnosis is a blessing and meals, time, etc... is a gift.

Cherish that you were able to spend some time with your mom and dad and that you got to make them a wonderful meal. You will always have this memory if that turns out to be the last dinner you cook for your dad. Any chance you get to make another will be a bonus. You have my deepest sympathy for your dad’s illness. I hope the doctors are wrong and he has many more years to experiment with that Joule.

Started smoking in Aug 2025. First smoker is a Weber Searwood. I purchased a ThermoWorks Smoke to get a more accurate temperature and the pro-series needle probe. I also have a Weber grilling basket, Weber grill brush, and the Grillart steambrush. I've tried all sorts of pellets and wood flavors and my family mainly likes the Traeger signature blend. I have a meat injector and shears for poultry.
I also recently purchased a new 2010 used Weber Kettle Performer. Just got a cover for it. I bought the ThermoWorks RFX with 1 wireless probe, the SnS and DnG to spruce up the grill. I have not cooked on it yet. I cut a hole and installed the ThermoWorks billows. I did buy 4 bags of the B&B charcoal briquettes.
All my cooking has been on the Searwood. I absolutely love cooking Pork Shoulder, chicken wings, chicken breasts and steak. I won first place in my church chili cookoff (I bragged to everyone about it) and I really enjoyed the chili (and I don't really like chili). I really enjoyed Moink balls. I like cooking ribs, chicken breasts, and chicken legs with white sauce.
I look forward to cooking pork burnt ends, smoked turkey for Thanksgiving, and maybe even a brisket.
I'm still trying to determine rubs my wife will really enjoy. I love the rubs from the website, but my wife just wants some rubs that will bring out the meat flavor so she can taste the meat. I'm seeking simple rubs for chicken breasts and steaks.
I love soda and especially Dr. Pepper. I don't drink alcohol.
I live near Boise, ID. I've been married for 25 years and I have 5 kids. I'm a second career dentist.
I’m so sorry to hear this. Having great family meals around the table make great memories. I pray you get more of them.

Very sorry to learn about your dad. What a special meal and memory for you all. I suspect by leaving the Joule so they can continue to cook with it that they will be reminded of time you took to cook and create a delicious meal and wonderful experience for you all.
