I always thought that the skills behind a Weber BBQ came once you had a couple of kids or put a down payment on a house. I can confidently say that's not the case. It takes legitimate practice and a dedication to the craft to be nice behind those coarse grill grates. I'm going to strive to be considered a legitimate candidate for the person who is responsible for the ribs at neighborhood potlucks, but when it all comes down to it, as long as I am getting somewhat consistent reps on my own Weber, that's fine with me.
