Falon

How did I get started barbecuing? I spent my childhood out by the grill with my father, making sure he always had clean tongs, a fresh towel and plates ready at all times! I was the official runner from my dad at the grill, to my mom in the kitchen and back again. Once I bought my first home at 21 years old, I purchased a 2 burner propane grill. That one grill, turned into 6 grills/smokers within a year and from there FalonsFixins was born!

If you are new to grilling, have fun with it. Be creative, be bold. If cavemen could do it, you can too. Don’t believe everything you see on social media, even the pros have bad cooks. Learn from your mistakes, celebrate your success. Rome wasn’t built in a day. If you are new to being a content creator in the BBQ community, the best advice I can give, is the same advice I have received. Passing along the message, don’t have expectations; they’ll lead to disappointments. Do not expect each video to be the next viral post, build your foundation of strong supporters and followers, the rest will happen naturally, when you least expect it. Show the good cooks and the bad, be genuine and authentic with each post. As far as consistent content, take multiple videos / pictures at multiple different angles of each cook. This is how I keep consistent in posting content daily being that this is a hobby and I’m not able to cook something new every day while balancing a full time job. Hope this helps!

I have truly enjoyed simply mastering an open fire cook. No fancy electric start, no automatic augers , no built in thermometers. Just me, the fire & the wind. Manipulating a fire to achieve a successful cook built on pure instinct, is what I enjoy doing the most.
