Welcome to Beyond Yard

Hi I am Vince. Full time dad, husband, and business manager. Part time grill master and backyard fun captain.
I have been enjoying cooking delicious cuts of meat on the grill since my college days. I remember cooking a ribeye on an indoor grill in my dorm, while stinking up the building and much to the chagrin of my neighbors it was delicious and I was hooked on the taste, flavor and accomplishment. Since then I have been exploring grilling and smoking fine cuts of meat.
Now with my family I enjoy playing all weekend in the backyard. We grill, play games and swim in the pool.
Every Saturday we always grill out and spend time in the backyard together. This gives me a chance to try a new cut of steak, try some new flavorful wood chips in the smoker or test out some new grilling gear. The kids usually prefer burgers and hot dogs. I can’t blame them!
