Outdoor cooking is what we do, and this site is written by BBQ fans for BBQ fans.
Our Story
The Online Grill began in 2014 when a shoulder injury left founder Ben Isham-Smith with a lot of time on his hands. Luckily, barbecue is where he turned to.
With a lot of time on his hands, he started getting to grips with all things BBQ: From perfecting the art of the smoke ring to perfectly reverse-seared steaks.
From here, Ben wanted to document his journey and show that good barbecue can be achieved by anyone. That’s when The Online Grill was born.
And now from what started as a little blog documenting tips and techniques learned along the way, has now grown into a site entering its tenth year that receives tens of thousands of visitors a day, all from people like you who want to BBQ better. We hope we can help.
