Welcome to Dude, Where’s My Char? — the ultimate backyard hangout for BBQ lovers, smoke chasers, and anyone who believes good food takes time (and just the right amount of char). From offset smokers to secret rub recipes, we’re here to celebrate the art of low-and-slow cooking with a Pacific Northwest twist. Whether you’re firing up your very first grill or perfecting your pit-master game, you’ll find tips, stories, and plenty of smoky inspiration right here.
This is where smoke meets story. At Dude, Where’s My Char?, we believe barbecue is more than food—it’s fire, patience, and a whole lot of flavor. In our blog, you’ll find everything from step-by-step recipes (yes, even beginner-friendly ones) to gear breakdowns, PNW-inspired cooking experiments, and a few smoky misadventures along the way.
Whether you’re hunting for the perfect rub, trying to master your first pork shoulder, or just here for some BBQ banter, you’re in the right place. Grab a plate, pull up a chair, and let’s talk char.
At Dude Where’s My Char, we believe grills are like tattoos—you swear you’ll only get one, but before you know it, you’re hooked and running out of backyard space. Right now, I’ve got three Char-Griller heavy-hitters holding down the fort: the Char-Griller Pro Deluxe (actually, I have two—because apparently one wasn’t enough), the Char-Griller Duo 5050, and the Char-Griller Flat Iron griddle.
