I started BBQBeginners because I remember exactly what it felt like to be standing in front of a grill for the first time. Tongs in one hand, a pack of burgers in the other, and absolutely no clue what I was doing.
There were flare-ups. There were dry steaks. There may have been a few “well done” hot dogs that were more charcoal than meat. But through it all, I kept coming back. Because there’s something magical about cooking over fire. It’s simple, it’s honest, and when it goes right, it brings people together like nothing else.
BBQBeginners was built for people just like you. Curious, ready to learn, and maybe a little overwhelmed by all the gear, rules, and grill-master bravado out there. We’re here to strip it all down to what matters. Good food, good vibes, and the confidence to light the grill and give it a go.
This isn’t a space for perfection. It’s a place for progress. Whether you’re learning how to use a charcoal chimney, figuring out what “indirect heat” even means, or just looking for the best way to grill a juicy chicken thigh, we’ve got your back.
So, welcome! Grab a spatula. Fire it up. You don’t need to be an expert. You just need to start.
