Raised in a family of seven where nightly meals meant more than just food, Benton Palmer grew up understanding the power of a dinner table to bring people together. Now, he channels that same spring into GrillThisSmokeThat, where he combines his passion for outdoor cooking with his natural gift for teaching. Whether he’s firing up his smoker or working his magic on the griddle, Benton’s mission is simple: help families rediscover the joy of gathering around great food.
A teacher by trade and an outdoorsman at heart, Benton brings the same enthusiasm to hunting and grilling that he does to showing others how to master new skills. When he’s not creating mouthwatering content or perfecting his next smoked masterpiece, you’ll find Benton spending quality time with the people who matter most: his family and friends.
