Our Mission
At GrillBabyGrill, our mission is to pass our extensive knowledge, learned from years of talking with the best pitmasters, grillers, and smokers in the country, onto you. We have a passion for meat and believe the only right way to barbecue is the way you like it.
Our goal is to bring you closer to living the good life by making those evenings of sitting around a grill with a fire crackling, crickets chirping, and meat sizzling a reality. Through our extensive research, we aim to ensure that you don’t have to deal with brands who are advertising falsehoods. Instead, you can focus on finding what you want, rather than worrying you’ll overpay for something that won’t get the job done.

Chet Daly, Owner
The backbone of our team and the genius behind GrillBabyGrill’s creation is Chet Daly. A Kentucky Native, Chet has over 30 years of grilling experience and has spent much of that time traveling across the Southern states searching for the best barbecue. This led him to conversations with some of the most skilled Pitmasters in the country, fueling his passion and broadening his knowledge on the subject.
He discovered that each state has its unique take on barbecue and how to prepare it best. This is the origin of the GrillBabyGrill philosophy that the best barbecue is made by you, exactly how you like it.
Chet, now retired, spends most of his time these days experimenting with recipes for sauces and meats on the grill. His ability to turn his passion into a profession comes through in the detailed analysis of each product you’ll find featured on the Grill Baby Grill website.
He strives to help customers get closer to living the good life by putting in the work himself to identify the hottest products on the market. In simplifying the selection process for other grillers, he shares his love of the craft.
