What we’re about
PURPOSE:
Grillers Anonymous is a not for profit society of gentlemen grillers dedicated to the advancement and enjoyment of grilling, bbq and beer. We meet monthly.
MY FIRST GRILLERS ANONYMOUS MEATING Q&A:
Q: What do I bring?
A: Bring yourself, a six pack of your favorite beer or pop (if you're not a drinker that ok!), your favorite meat to grill (usually enough for 4-5 servings), and some loose fitting clothes to make room for all this food!
Q: Where are Grillers Anonymous Meatings held?
A: Grillers Anonymous Meatings are normally held at a member’s house on a monthly basis. The day of the week depends, but usually Saturdays or Sundays. We are always looking for volunteers to host, it doesn’t take much other than a grill and room in your yard for some guests.
Q: Is Grillers Anonymous really men only?
A: Yes. Although, the Grillers Anonymous events are guys only, but we will have periodic bar based events for the X and Y chromosomes to mix.
Q: Do you really grill in the cold?
A: Yes! Grillers Anonymous is a year round grilling organization and we spend 90% of the time outside. We grill, rain, shine, snow, etc. Make sure you dress for the weather!
Q: Does it cost anything to join Grillers Anonymous?
A: No it does not. There are T-shirts and other merchandise for sale that help fund some of the expenses that the chapter has I.e. Website, Meetup (where we mostly get new members), the keg for St Patty's Day, etc. We also offer the ability to donate in person at a meating, Venmo and Zelle.
Q: What is a Grill Master Champion (GMC)?
A: It's one of our favorite traditions! Every month the best recipe is selected by attendees and the honor is bestowed in the form of Grill Master Champion (GMC). Perks include bragging rights and the knowledge that everyone else is number two or lower.
Q: What is the Griller of the Year (GOY)?
A: New for 2023, it's designed to encourage participation in our meatings and online on our Facebook group as well as bringing new blood into the group. More details available here.
Q: What are the rules of Grillers Anonymous?
A: These are the official rules of Grillers Anonymous:
· Grillers Anonymous Meatings are for male attendees only. Events are coed.
· For first timers, store bought bratwursts and other unmodified meats will be tolerated. After that be prepared to be ridiculed, tortured, and possibly stoned.
· Bring enough Meat & Beer to share with others. Unless you hit it with your car or something. In that case, it's all yours buddy! (Proper portions to bring is a 6 or 12 pack of beer and 8-10 servings of a meat dish)
· All dishes must have a meat component, fruits & vegetables are only acceptable as a part of a meat dish and/or when wrapped in bacon
· Chips are ok, but this isn't a F*@king picnic, leave the potato salad at home
· We grill all year round, neither rain, nor snow, nor toads falling from the sky will keep us from grilling; dress appropriately
· For the safety of everyone, please aim beerfarts away from the flames
· All hopeful members must have a sponsor who is an active member. If you do not have a sponsor, you may still participate however you may be asked to do a stupid human trick, such as juggling cats, balancing stuff on your nose, or attempt to capture an alligator with your bare hands.
· Nicknames must be given to you and approved by the executive council. However, terms of endearment such as "moron", "idiot", and "your momma's mistake" may be used at any time.
