Grohl, who burst onto the music scene more than three decades ago as the drummer for Nirvana, is said to be obsessed with grilling and smoking meat.
He's admitted his barbecue interests began in the early 1990s when the legendary grunge group started making money, which allowed him to buy a home in North Carolina, where he got hooked on pulled pork.
"I would get a pint and eat it until it ran out," he shared in 2019. "Then I would get another pint until it ran out – just pulled pork on a white bun with slaw, and that was it."
"I realized, Oh, this is barbecue: so simple, but sublime and complex."
