Welcome to Backyard BBQ-R Pitmasters.
Here's the path. Follow it in order. Start Here → Safety & Fire Management → Your First Cook Challenge → Post Your Cook → Get feedback Five steps. That's the whole thing. Step one. Start Here in the classroom. Five lessons, about 20 minutes. Tells you where everything is and what to do first. Step two. Safety & Fire Management. Eight lessons. Vents, fuel, two-zone, reading smoke, and what to do when the temp runs away from you. Most backyard cooks never learn this properly, and it's the part that decides whether the cook works. Step three. Your First Cook Challenge. Four lessons. Pick the cook, set the fire, run it and log it, then post it. Chicken thighs, around eight dollars, one afternoon. Step four. Post it in Post Your Cook. A photo, plus what you cooked on, what you were aiming for, and what surprised you. Step five. Get feedback. From me, and from people cooking on your exact gear. Every post gets read. Every question gets answered. Also in the classroom, there when you need it: The Free Guide Vault. Every free guide I've made, in one place. New practical guides added regularly. The Video Library. My whole channel, in one place. Top 10 BBQ Questions, Answered. The ones that come up over and over. And introduce yourself in The Backyard when you land. Name your cooker. Every intro gets an answer from me personally. Real pit. Real results.

How This Place Works
Five rules. That's the whole list. Rule one. Nobody dunks on beginners. Ask the question you've been embarrassed to ask for three years. That's the exact question this place was built for. Rule two. Answer somebody else. You know more than you think you do. Help one person a week and this whole thing works. Rule three. Post the cooks that went wrong. A cook that failed teaches the room more than a cook that worked. Bring the details and you'll get real answers. Rule four. Give us something to work with. Cooker and model. Target temp. Actual temp. What you changed. A photo if you've got one. "My ribs came out tough" and "my ribs came out tough on a 22-inch kettle, aimed for 250, ran 300 for two hours, windy day" are two different questions. Only one of them can be answered. Rule five. No selling, no spam, no affiliate links. Recommend gear all day long. Just don't sell it in here. Every post gets read. Every question gets answered. Nobody gets left hanging. That's the deal. Real pit. Real results. Full guides & resources: www.backyardbbqr.com

Every cook goes here — the ones that worked and the ones that didn't.
Photo, plus three lines: what you cooked on, what you were aiming for, what surprised you. That's the whole ask. No form, no essay. Post a cook that went wrong and you'll get answers — mine and everybody else's. Nobody gets left hanging. And answer somebody else while you're in here. You know more than you think you do. Nobody dunks on beginners — but everybody helps. That's the deal.

The General Room
New here? Introduce yourself. What are you cooking on, how long have you been at it, and what are you trying to get better at this year? Otherwise this is the general room — technique, gear, what you'd buy again, what you regret, and the Myth vs. Pit polls. Cooker questions and cooks that went wrong have their own rooms. Everything else lands here.

How Points, Levels, and Rewards Work Here
Points aren't a game. They're a record of who shows up and helps. Here's the whole system, out in the open. How you earn them One like on your post or comment is one point. That's it. You can't buy them and you can't grind them. The room decides. The levels Level 1, Cold Grate. 0 points. Level 2, Match Lit. 5 points. Nothing to collect. Five likes means somebody found you useful, and that's the point. Level 3, Two-Zone. 20 points. Early access to the next guide, 24 hours before it lands in the Vault. Level 4, Holds 250. 65 points. Your cook featured by me. Level 5, Reads Smoke. 155 points. Premium guide discount. Level 6, Clean Bark. 515 points. One written Cook Plan Review. Send me the plan before you light the fire and you get it back marked up. Level 7, Runs the Pit. 2,015 points. One seat in a group Pit Clinic. Level 8, Teaches the Room. 8,015 points. A featured breakdown of one of your cooks, taught to the whole room. Level 9, Backyard Legend. 33,015 points. A permanent spot in the Backyard BBQ-R Hall of Fame. Every reward from Level 6 up is one time, not a standing service. That's deliberate. One person can only give real feedback to so many people at once, and a promise I can't keep is worth less than one I can. What's never locked Start Here. Safety & Fire Management. Your First Cook Challenge. The Free Guide Vault, including the Fire Management Quick Card. The Video Library. Top 10 BBQ Questions, Answered. All open on day one, all staying that way. Levels unlock extras, never education. Nobody pays a participation tax to learn fire control in here. Fastest way up Answer somebody's question. Helpful answers get liked, and likes are points. That's the whole design, and it's deliberate. Real pit. Real results.
