My BBQ Journey

My BBQ journey started when my pops got me into barbecuing at just 8 years old. I still remember that first day, the thrill of starting the charcoal, and the distinctive smell of it lighting up. Since then, I've been hooked on grilling and eager to learn from everyone - whether in person, through videos, or from my own mistakes.
