Meet Matt
Hello, my name is Matt. I run Backyard Yum because I believe good food should be shared.
I am also a believer in the power of solar cooking. You can make amazing food with the power of the sun. I want to share this with you.
Backyard Yum is about enjoying food outdoors - without making things complicated.
Some days that means smoking ribs on the pellet smoker. Other days it means making breakfast at camp, cooking with a solar oven, or trying something new in the backyard. The focus here is practical outdoor cooking that real people can actually do.
Over time, you'll find insightful reviews on cooking techniques, gear, and fresh ideas intended to make outdoor cooking fun and delicious.
