Your BBQ Story, Finally Written Down
Every BBQ fan has a list in their head.
- The joints they still talk about years later
- The places they swear they’ll visit someday
- The road trips that turned into memories
BBQ Passport is our way of turning those mental notes into something real. It helps you plan future BBQ adventures, track the places you’ve visited, and remember the meals that mattered.
- No rankings
- No chasing clout
- Just your personal BBQ journey, all in one place
What Is BBQ Passport?
BBQ Passport is a free feature on ExploringBBQ.com that lets you keep track of where you’ve been and where you want to go next.
It’s built around two simple ideas:
- Bucket Lists to plan your next BBQ wins
- Visit Stamps to log your stops and keep the memories
Together, they create a living record of your BBQ travels across Texas and beyond.
Bucket Lists Ideas: Plan Your Next BBQ Adventure
Bucket Lists Ideas are curated collections of BBQ joints grouped by region, theme, or experience. Think of them as ready-made road trip ideas.
You can:
- Browse Bucket List Ideas without an account
- Get inspiration for future trips

Make It Yours: Adopting a Bucket List
When you create a free ExploringBBQ account, you can adopt any public Bucket List and make it your own.
Once adopted, you can:
- Track which stops you’ve completed
- See progress at a glance
- Use the list as a personal roadmap
This turns inspiration into action.
Members can adopt a public list and turn it into their personal BBQ plan
Visit Stamps: Remember Where You’ve Been
Visit Stamps are the heart of BBQ Passport.
Each time you visit a BBQ joint, you can log:
- The date of your visit
- Who you were with
- Notes about what you ordered or what stood out
Over time, this becomes your personal BBQ logbook.
Log your visits and build your personal BBQ history
Your Passport Activity: Watch the Journey Add Up
As you use BBQ Passport, your activity starts to tell a story.
You can see:
- How many joints you’ve visited
- Which Bucket Lists you’re working through
- Your most recent BBQ stops
It’s not about competition. It’s about progress.
Why BBQ Passport Is Different
BBQ Passport isn’t a review site and it’s not social media.
- It’s not about star ratings
- It’s not about chasing trends
- It’s about your experiences
Some people love spreadsheets. Others keep notes on their phone. BBQ Passport gives BBQ fans a place that actually fits the culture.
