Backyard Method was built for people who love spending time in the backyard but don't love wasting money on the wrong products.

Like many outdoor cooking enthusiasts, I've spent countless hours comparing smokers, testing new gadgets, reading reviews, watching videos, and trying to figure out which products are actually worth the investment. Some purchases have been home runs. Others have ended up collecting dust in the garage.

20+ Years of Retail, Merchandising, Purchasing & E-Commerce Experience

At the same time, my professional career has been built around helping customers make informed purchasing decisions. For more than two decades, I've worked in retail, merchandising, and procurement, helping evaluate products, compare value, and make buying decisions at scale. Understanding products and consumer behavior isn't a hobby....it's what I do every day.

Backyard Method brings those two worlds together.

This isn't a site built by a celebrity pitmaster or a company trying to sell you the latest trend. It's built by someone who genuinely enjoys outdoor cooking, backyard projects, and finding products that deliver real value.

Our goal is simple: help you make smarter backyard decisions through honest reviews, practical recommendations, and trusted buying guidance.

Because the best backyard isn't built by buying everything. It's built by buying the right things.
