Got a Smoker - Now I'm That Guy

Apr 13·1 min read

Just picked up a offset barrel smoker and I'm officially one of those guys now. Already did a practice run with some ribs and they turned out actually pretty good. I spent like 8 hours tending to it yesterday and my family was not as impressed as I expected lol. But I don't care, I'm hooked. Planning a backyard cookout next month to show these babies off. The manual said something about this being a lifestyle, not a hobby, and honestly? Yeah. That checks out.

Welcome to the club my friend. You're gonna be smoking everything for the next year. Fair warning, your neighbors are gonna start showing up around dinner time.

How was the practice run? Those offset smokers are legit but they take some patience to dial in. What are you planning to smoke first for real?

Haha I love this energy. Nothing wrong with finding your thing. Smoking meat is basically meditation with delicious results. What did you smoke first?

One of those guys is the best guy to be though. My neighbors think I'm crazy but they show up when I'm firing up the smoker.

Now you're officially that guy which honestly is great because people are gonna want to hang around your house more often. My advice, use that to your advantage.

Welcome to the club! That offset barrel is a game changer. How long did your first cook take? I'm still learning the temp management on mine but the results are worth every minute.

This is it. This is peak dad energy right here. Pretty soon you'll be the guy hosting all the neighborhood cookouts.
