New Year's resolutions offer the perfect chance to elevate your grilling skills. With Masterbuilt by your side, you'll have all the tools, support, and inspiration needed to make this year your best grilling year yet.

Here are some top grilling resolutions to make this year a flavorful success:

1. Master the Art of Smoking

   If you've always wanted to dive deeper into the world of smoked meats, this is the year! With a Masterbuilt smoker, it's easier than ever to achieve that perfect, slow-cooked flavor. Start by experimenting with different woods to create unique flavors for your brisket, ribs, and chicken. Explore different techniques like reverse searing and low-and-slow smoking, and perfect your skills until you're turning out mouthwatering masterpieces every time.

   Resolution Tip: Make it a goal to smoke a different type of meat each month to expand your expertise.

2. Grill More Vegetables

   Who says grilling is just for meats? Grilled vegetables are delicious, healthy, and a great addition to any barbecue spread. Challenge yourself to grill seasonal veggies like Brussels sprouts, cauliflower, and sweet potatoes. Use the versatility of your Masterbuilt grill to create veggie skewers, grilled salads, or smoky dips that will impress even the most dedicated carnivores.

   Resolution Tip: Try new flavor pairings by using herbs, spices, and marinades to elevate your vegetable grilling game.

3. Get Creative with Your Grilling Tools

   Masterbuilt grills are known for their advanced features and user-friendly designs. Take full advantage of your grill's capabilities this year by experimenting with different tools and accessories. Whether it's a pizza stone, a smoking box, or a rotisserie kit, these accessories open up a world of culinary possibilities. Challenge yourself to create restaurant-worthy dishes like rotisserie chicken or wood-fired pizzas right in your own backyard.

   Resolution Tip: Invest in one new accessory this year, and dedicate some time to mastering it.

4. Host More Grill Parties

   Grilling is all about sharing great food and good times with friends and family. Resolve to host more backyard BBQs, cookouts, and grilling parties. Take it beyond just grilling by incorporating fun challenges like a grilling competition or a "grilled only" potluck. With your Masterbuilt grill, you'll have plenty of cooking space to feed a crowd, so there's no excuse not to invite friends over and celebrate.

   Resolution Tip: Plan at least one grilling event per season to bring people together over great food.

5. Perfect Your Grilled Desserts

   Grilling doesn't have to end with the main course. Grilled desserts are a fantastic way to finish off any BBQ with a bang. Get adventurous with your desserts by grilling fruit, making grilled s'mores, or even creating an apple crisp or cobbler right on the grill. The smoky flavors from your Masterbuilt grill will take your sweet treats to the next level.

   Resolution Tip: Try grilling one new dessert each month to discover unique flavor combinations.

6. Improve Your Grilling Technique

   As with any skill, practice makes perfect. Whether you're refining your searing technique, perfecting the timing for indirect cooking, or mastering the art of grilling at different temperatures, commit to improving your grilling technique. Masterbuilt grills offer precise temperature control and consistent results, making it easier than ever to cook your food to perfection.

   Resolution Tip:

   Set small weekly goals to focus on specific techniques, like perfecting your steak sear or grilling fish.
7. Try New Recipes and Flavors

   If you're a creature of habit when it comes to grilling, this is the year to break out of your comfort zone and try new recipes and flavor profiles. Experiment with global grilling styles—like Korean BBQ, Mediterranean grilled lamb, or Caribbean jerk chicken—and embrace new marinades, rubs, and sauces. Masterbuilt's range of grills and smokers will allow you to explore a world of exciting flavors, and your taste buds will thank you.

   Resolution Tip: Each month, try a new recipe that's outside your usual grilling repertoire.

8. Focus on Sustainability

   This year, let's commit to grilling with the planet in mind. Sustainability is more important than ever, and grilling can be part of the solution. Look for eco-friendly charcoal, use local and seasonal ingredients, and try reducing food waste by repurposing leftovers. Masterbuilt grills help you create amazing meals with efficiency and less waste, making it easier to prioritize sustainability.

   Resolution Tip: Start small by incorporating more locally sourced ingredients and making the switch to sustainable grilling accessories.

9. Grill Year-Round

   Don't let the cold weather stop you from grilling! Many grilling enthusiasts make the mistake of putting their grills away when winter rolls around. This year, embrace year-round grilling. From winter BBQs to cozy grilled dinners, your Masterbuilt grill is built to handle any season. Plus, grilled food tastes great in any weather!

   Resolution Tip: Bundle up and grill during the winter months to stay sharp and enjoy the warmth of your grill all year long.

With these grilling resolutions in mind, this year can be your best year yet. Whether you're learning new skills, trying new recipes, or hosting unforgettable gatherings, Masterbuilt grills and smokers provide all the tools you need for success. Let this be the year you become the ultimate grilling pro!
