grillmasters

Backyard cooking pros

Grillmasters are people skilled at cooking food on a grill, especially those who take pride in their barbecue techniques.

The term suggests expertise and enthusiasm rather than professional credentials: The neighborhood grillmasters competed over who made the best ribs.

Often used with affectionate humor for anyone manning the backyard grill at a cookout.
