Hi, I’m Roger Brown, the creator of LonestarGrilleTX.com. I was born and raised in central Texas, where grilling isn’t just a weekend hobby it’s part of the culture. After earning my degree in Business Administration from the University of Texas, I spent over a decade in the hospitality and restaurant industry, managing operations for several regional barbecue establishments. That experience gave me a close look at the tools, techniques, and equipment that make a real difference behind the grill.
By 2025, I decided to take my knowledge online and build a space where I could share what I’ve learned. This blog is my way of helping others make informed buying decisions based not on fancy marketing claims, but on genuine use, testing, and practicality.
What This Blog Is About
LonestarGrilleTX.com focuses on honest, experience-based product reviews and recommendations related to grilling, smoking, outdoor cooking, and home equipment that complements this lifestyle. Every product featured here has been carefully evaluated for its quality, usability, and long-term value. I don’t just read specs I test, cook, and compare. Whether you’re looking for a reliable pellet smoker, the right accessories, or budget-friendly tools, you’ll find straightforward advice based on real performance.
My Approach
Living just outside San Antonio, I continue to spend most weekends around the grill testing new gear, refining techniques, and sharing what works and what doesn’t. I approach every review with the same standard I used in the restaurant business: consistency, safety, and results. My goal is simple to provide readers with clear, trustworthy insights so they can invest their money wisely.
My Promise
This site runs on transparency. I only recommend products that I personally find useful and worth the price. You’ll never see inflated claims or paid opinions here. I want LonestarGrilleTX.com to be the kind of resource I wish I had years ago professional, practical, and built on real-world experience.
Thank you for visiting and supporting the work that goes into keeping this site running. If you share the same passion for quality grilling and smart buying, you’re in the right place.
