grillmaster
Backyard cooking expert
A grillmaster is someone skilled at cooking on a grill, especially one who presides over outdoor barbecues.
The term carries a hint of self-congratulation or gentle mockery—the backyard dad wielding tongs like a scepter: Stand back, the grillmaster is at work.
Some restaurants and competitions use the title more seriously for expert grillers.
