Meet Mr. B
Backyard BBQ-R is built for real backyard pitmasters who want practical BBQ help without the ego. This is the story behind the brand.
Mr. B — Certified Pitmaster
Backyard pitmaster, BBQ educator, and Certified Pitmaster since 1996.
This is BBQ education without the ego.
Backyard BBQ-R started with a simple idea: real backyard cooks deserve real BBQ education — not competition BBQ, not influencer BBQ, and not the kind that requires a $10,000 setup to get right.
Mr. B has been cooking in the backyard since 1996. More than 30 years of real fire, real smoke, and real results on real backyard pits. Not a restaurant. Not a competition circuit. A backyard — just like yours.
The Backyard BBQ-R brand was built around one goal: help everyday backyard cooks get better results from whatever pit they're working with. Whether that's a Weber kettle, an offset smoker, a kamado, or a basic charcoal grill, the fundamentals still apply.
Mr. B teaches fire management, smoker setup, practical outdoor cooking techniques, and honest lessons from 30+ years behind the smoke. The content is direct, practical, and built for people who cook in real backyards — not for television cameras or competition judges.
🔥 Real Fire
Every lesson, every guide, and every video is built around actual backyard cooking — not theory from a textbook.
🎯 Practical Technique
Technique that works on your pit, in your backyard, with your equipment — not restaurant-grade tools.
✅ No Ego
Backyard BBQ-R doesn't talk down to beginners. Every cook is a learning cook. That never changes.
🛡️ Food Safety First
Food safety is never optional. Safe temperatures, proper doneness, and safe holding practice are always part of the conversation.
