Hi, I’m Rhett—BBQ enthusiast, firestarter junkie, and founding father of the sacred smoke society: In the name of the flame, the rub, and the holy smoke. Amen.

This all started in 2023 with a pellet grill I lovingly called the “Easy-Bake Oven of BBQ.” It betrayed me. 

So from there, I went full repentance mode:

Pellet grill → Weber kettle → custom 55-gallon drum → Weber Smokey Mountain → Offset smoker. And all of these were resurrected from other owners from Facebook Marketplace. Hence the name This Ol Grill. 

Each step was like leveling up in a meat-flavored video game.

Now, It’s nothing but wood, fire, sweat, and meat that’s been baptized in smoke like it’s headed to BBQ heaven.

I light every pit with fireballzusa and fuel it with charcoal—because flavor matters and I don’t trust anything that turns on with Wi-Fi.

This Ol Grill is more than a name—it’s a lifestyle.

If you’re into clean smoke, crusty bark, and unsolicited opinions about why pellet grills are suspicious, welcome home.

I cook. I post. I laugh. I burn my knuckles in the name of meat. #BringOnTheSmoke
