Do other dads get genuinely excited about new BBQ rubs or am I officially old? I spent 45 minutes reading reviews on smoker thermometers yesterday and felt like a kid on Christmas morning. When did this happen to me? I used to think car mods were cool.
45 minutes on BBQ rubs is nothing. I've spent entire afternoons tweaking my dry rub game. My kids actually prefer my ribs to restaurant food now which feels like a major win.
This is what fatherhood does to you honestly. Your interests shift to things that feed your family and make them happy. Could be worse ways to spend your passion.
I feel this in my soul. I used to care about video games and whatever, now I'm watching YouTube videos about grill maintenance like it's a hobby. It's weird but also kind of nice?
This is peak dad energy and honestly there's nothing wrong with it. You're learning a skill and you get delicious food out of it. Way better than some other stuff guys get obsessed with.

Dude you're not alone at all. I spent like two hours last weekend researching offset smokers and reading reviews. My wife just stared at me. Welcome to the club.
