I've grilled filet mignon 2-3 times a month since August. The local butcher has it for under half what we'd pay in a restaurant and It's a really comforting ritual when things get overwhelming. I fire up the charcoal, pour a glass of wine, listen to something really antisocial on the Bluetooth speaker, and cook stuff.
I've got the process down, the thermometer app keeps a history of everything I've cooked, and I'm spending most of my time experimenting with prep now, tasting rubs or marinades beforehand and seeing how they turn out.
I can't bring myself to keep a bbq journal. The idea really stresses me out for some reason, so I mostly rely on memory and taste. The one thing I actually record is a really abbreviated recipe in my regular journal and how it ended up. I also grill other stuff (just did really good chicken thighs), but I tend to focus on one thing and keep going until I have it figured out.
