The Best Funny BBQ Quotes I’ve Ever Heard!
May you always be surrounded by good friends and a better barbecue
In the mountains, they say ‘there are no friends on a powder day’. However, when it comes to barbecue, I couldn’t believe anything more opposite.
Nothing is more satisfying than sharing your creations with your close family and friends.
Barbecue is not merely a necessity of life, it is life
As humans, feeding ourselves is a necessity of life.. and cooking over fire is one of the most primal ways of doing so. Cooking this way takes us back to our roots.
As men, cooking on a BBQ or grill is more than a necessity of life—it’s a lifestyle.
Give a man a barbecue, and feed him for a day. Teach a man to barbecue and feed him for the summer.
Anyone can cook a meal on a BBQ or grill. It might not be the best meal in the world, but it will be a meal.
However, if you learn how to BBQ right, you can cook the tastiest meals for your family and friends every day.
Real men don’t use a recipe.
We all know that we can cook a steak in a pan on top of an oven. But how much better is that same steak when you are out in the elements, surrounded by people you love drinking a brewski or two?
There is something so satisfying about cooking outdoors, I feel it brings us back to our most basic and primal form.
Cooking and eating food outdoors makes it taste infinitely better than the same meal prepared and consumed indoors.
My dad loved having me around the BBQ when I was younger. I will always remember the joy on his face when he gave me a tender and juicy piece of brisket.
Of course, as time went on my dad taught me to BBQ everything from sausage to pork butt. He has taught me to feed myself and my wife, kids, and closest friends.
If we do not maintain the barbecue, the barbecue will not maintain us
Even the best grills or smoker cannot cook at peak performance if you don’t clean it.
That is just a fact. I was recently at a friend’s house, and he attempted to cook on his BBQ grill that had not been used for (I would guess) 3 or 4 years at a minimum.
To start with the BBQ was just stinking from the get-go, however, throughout the cook, the BBQ was having flare-ups and all sorts of nasty smells going on.
I will tell you the BBQ grill treated us with about as much respect as my friend was giving the grill. Clean your damn BBQ grill and it will look after you by delivering great-tasting food!
One cannot think well, love well, or sleep well if one has not barbecued well.
Life is all about balance. If something in your life is not quite right it will throw out the rest of your life. Food is one of the most important parts of this balance. Make sure you are always feeding your family and friends well from your BBQ or grill!
What is it about standing around a hot flame cooking that we find so goddamn satisfying?! Is it simply that we are just closet pyromaniacs? or is it deeper than that?
No great barbecue was ever achieved without enthusiasm
You will never be good at something without giving 110%. This is no different when it comes to BBQ-ing.
If you fail once, take a step back and think about why it didn’t work, then try again! You will achieve great BBQ sooner or later!
Good barbecue comes to experience, and experience well, that comes from poor barbecue
I bet if I told you how many times I had cooked barbecue that was an error, just plain horrid you would laugh at me.
However, I think that you can only get better and learn from your mistakes.
Making mistakes is normal. If that’s in your day-to-day life, chef life, or professional life.
You can always improve and grow on your mistakes. Life is about improvement, growth, and learning.
Action may not always bring barbecue, but there is no barbecue without action
When you get together with your friends around the BBQ you don’t always know exactly how the afternoon will pan out.. but I’m sure you all know that 9 times out of 10 there will be some action at one point.
Barbecue cannot be held responsible for people falling in love
We all know that girls love a man that can cook.. and we all know a man who has been made into a husband because of his great cooking skills.
Don’t be mad at him, be impressed his BBQ skills could do something that his pick-up lines never could.
Talk to a man about his barbecue and he will listen for hours
This quote is for the women out there. If you are struggling to get your man to listen to you, bring up his BBQ.
I guarantee you he will listen to anything you have to say after that.
The most wasted days of all are that in which we have not barbecued
Let’s face it there is no better way to finish the day than having a couple of beers around the BBQ.
What is a day without having the opportunity to reflect on your day and enjoy the delicious smells (and tastes) of BBQ?
A wasted day.

Agreed, cooking outdoors amongst the elements makes the food way better. Personally I love cooking over a fire on the beach at night. Best kind of foreplay
