Welcome to Backyard Texas Grill! I’m Zach Morrow, born and raised in Texas, and happiest when there’s smoke in the air and good food on the table. What started as a weekend hobby—experimenting with burgers and brisket on a hand-me-down grill—has grown into a lifelong passion for all things barbecue.
