Anyone else have a grilling problem or is it just me

2w ago1 min read

I started grilling last spring just to make burgers. Now I'm out here researching pellet smokers and learning about temp control and brisket rubs. I've got a charcoal grill, a gas grill, and I'm looking at a smoker. My wife asked when I became this person and honestly I don't know but I love it.

There's something about standing out there for hours tending to meat that just clears my head. The kids actually gather around and it's a family thing. Yeah I spend too much money on equipment and fancy sauces but it makes me happy.

Not a problem, it's a passion my friend. Just wait until you're explaining the Maillard reaction to your kids at dinner because you finally nailed the bark on your ribs.

This is how it starts and honestly I'm not mad about it. Between soccer practice and work I barely have time to grill but when I do, I'm out there tinkering with temps like it's my job. You picked a good hobby.

Dude, welcome to the obsession. I started the same way last year and now I'm watching YouTube videos about offset smokers at midnight. My wife thinks I've lost it but the brisket was worth it.

Pellet smoker is the next logical step honestly. I went down this exact path and now I'm smoking brisket every other weekend. Fair warning though - your grocery bill is about to have a new line item and your backyard is never going to be the same.

Dude, this is me right now. Started with a basic charcoal grill two years ago and now I'm watching YouTube videos about temperature control and wood selection at midnight. My wife thinks I've lost it but man, there's something about mastering the craft that just hits different.
