Are You a Grillaholic? Here’s a Checklist

January 19, 2021

If grilling food is not a task or verb for you but it’s an event – you may be a little bit fanatical about grilling.

You know who you are and there are certain (admirable) traits about you that make you not only a fanatic but an expert and the go to guy or gal for BBQ ideas.
Below is a checklist. If you have done most of these things or you possess the items mentioned, you , my friend, may be a grillaholic.
You are someone who lives for the thrill of the grill. Whether the weather is bright and sunny or dead cold of winter, your BBQ is getting a workout.
Nothing is better than fire and the caveman instinct kicks in to experiment or make an old favourite, it doesn’t matter as long as you are over the fire, searing the meat and feeding the masses.
How many will you check off the list?

  • You only use fresh cuts of meat
  • You’re not quite sure you understand the difference between vegetarian and vegan but you do know they don’t eat meat
  • You have a pantry full of spices and rubs and you know how to use them
  • You make a good argument on what sauce to use and why
  • You have binge watched BBQ Pitmasters
  • You have been, or plan on going to one of the BBQ joints on Diners, Drive Ins and Dives
  • You have a special case for your grill tools and no one is allowed to use them
  • Your grill is stainless steel and it sparkles
  • You know which part of your hand represents the doneness of steak
  • You consider grilling an art
  • A BBQ competition is a good way to release some energy
  • You pair and drink a specific beer depending on what you are grilling
  • You take more pictures of the food you grill than you do selfies or family
  • You can take apart and clean your grill and put it back together without a manual
  • Your website bookmarks are all grill recipes and videos

By now, it’s probably pretty clear to you that grilling makes you happy and you never really needed the checklist. In fact, you could have written that checklist.
In your little corner of the world (or backyard as the case may be) there is no drama, no arguing, no indecision. You are the master of your domain.
Just pure grilling bliss.

Are you a grillaholic? Only if you are one of the lucky ones.
