Family Style BBQ

Girl Dad Grilling

My name is Dalton. I am a husband, a girl dad x2, and a 10 year Veteran of the United States Marine Corps. I live in Northeast Indiana and aspire to bring backyard bbq to those I interact with. I started cooking at a young age over the campfire and with cast iron while camping with my family. Since I've started a family of my own, I been able to adopt some of the same styles that I grew up with. I picked up grilling heavily during COVID and haven't look back since. My father-in-law got me hooked on the Char-Griller AKORN Grill and I've expanded my arsenal of outdoor cooking devices since then.

Favorite Activity:: Training for Marathon races
Fun Fact:: I have a 20 gallon brewery set up in my garage. My father in law, brother in law and myself make a variety of beer for our family.
Favorite Recipe:: Smoked shrimp and sausage
Hometown:: Fort Wayne, IN

FAVORITE GRILL

Char-Griller Product of Choice

AKORN Kamado Grill

The AKORN Kamado Grill from Char-Girller was the first one I learned on and there's a certain level of pride that comes with mastering temp control.

Ambassador Dalton Rose wears grilling gloves as he arranges 2 tinfoil trays of ribs on the grill of a Char-Griller AKORN grill. A cast iron pot of sauce sits on the grill next to the ribs.

Char-Griller Q&A with Dalton Rose

What inspired you to start barbecuing?: My father-in-law inspired me to get an AKORN during COVID and give it a shot. I've been barbecuing for 3 years consistently now.
What advice would you give to someone new to grilling?: Don't give up. Try something new. Create your own style. There's one dish in particular that my wife and I always joke about (it was a shrimp dish a few years back) that I seasoned too heavily and ended up throwing away. Not everything is going to be picture perfect.
What is your favorite grilling technique that you've learned?: I've thoroughly enjoyed low & slow smokes. There's an art that goes in to perfecting your craft and it feels like the longer the food takes, the more rewarding the bite is at the end.
