Write for Us: Submit a BBQ Grilling or Outdoor Cooking Guest Post to Vita Forvo

If you write about BBQ, grilling, outdoor cooking, or backyard entertaining — and you write well — the Vita Forvo blog is actively looking for contributors in your space. We publish long-form, practical, expert-driven content for a readership that takes outdoor cooking seriously: home cooks who have invested in quality equipment, enthusiasts who follow technique and craft, and buyers who research deeply before every purchase.

This post covers what we publish, who we're looking for, and how to submit a pitch or draft for our outdoor cooking guest post program. If your work fits our audience, we want to hear from you.

What We Publish: BBQ and Outdoor Cooking Topics We're Actively Seeking

Our BBQ and outdoor cooking content covers a specific range of topics that align with our readers' interests and purchasing intent. We're not a general food blog — we publish in-depth, experience-backed content that speaks to readers who already know their way around a grill and want to go deeper. Below are the categories where we're actively seeking BBQ guest post contributions.

Grilling technique and method deep dives. Our readers want specificity, not summaries. Articles that go deep on a particular method — the reverse sear on thick-cut steaks, managing heat zones on a kettle grill, the mechanics of proper smoke ring development, two-zone cooking principles for different cut profiles — perform exceptionally well with our audience. If you have genuine technique knowledge and can write about it with precision, this is a strong fit for a BBQ write for us submission.

Fuel and equipment comparisons. Charcoal vs. gas, pellet vs. offset, infrared vs. conventional gas — comparison content that goes beyond surface-level pros and cons and actually helps readers make informed decisions based on their specific cooking goals is exactly what we look for. These articles require genuine product knowledge and honest, balanced assessment. Promotional or brand-biased comparisons are not what we publish.

Outdoor kitchen design and setup. Content that helps readers plan and build their outdoor cooking environment — grill placement and airflow, countertop material selection, integrating a pizza oven alongside a primary grill, weatherproofing and cover solutions, tool and accessory organization — appeals to a significant segment of our readership who are building or upgrading their setup rather than just using an existing one.

Seasonal and entertaining content with a premium angle. BBQ entertaining content that reflects the quality and intentionality our audience brings to their cooking — menu planning around the grill, wine pairing for smoked meats, hosting a backyard cooking event for guests who expect serious food — fills a content gap between the casual BBQ content that dominates mainstream food media and the technical enthusiast content that appeals to a narrower audience. If you can write at that intersection, we're interested.

Ingredient and sourcing content for outdoor cooking. Premium cuts, heritage breed meats, regional charcoal varieties, wood types and their flavor profiles — content that helps serious outdoor cooks make better sourcing decisions is consistently well-received by our readership. This is a category where real expertise and hands-on knowledge is evident immediately, and where shallow coverage is equally obvious.

Who We're Looking For as a BBQ Contributor

Our strongest contributors in the outdoor cooking space come from backgrounds that produce genuine, demonstrable expertise. For BBQ and grilling content, ideal profiles include competition BBQ participants with real circuit experience, professional chefs with significant live-fire or outdoor cooking background, culinary instructors who teach grilling or meat cookery, food writers with a dedicated outdoor cooking beat, and serious home cooks who have spent years developing and refining technique and can write about it with specificity and authority.

You don't need a large social following or a major publication credit to contribute to the Vita Forvo blog. You do need to be able to demonstrate — through your pitch and your writing — that you know the subject well enough to teach something genuinely useful to a reader who is already experienced and engaged. Generic overview articles written by generalist writers are not what we're looking for. Articles that teach something specific, correct a common misconception, or offer a perspective grounded in real outdoor cooking experience are exactly what we want.

How to Write a Pitch We'll Respond to Quickly

A strong pitch for an outdoor cooking guest post is specific, audience-aware, and shows you've thought about what makes your angle distinctive rather than just what topic you want to cover.

Describe your topic with enough specificity that we can immediately picture the article. "BBQ techniques" is not a pitch. "Why most home grillers are managing their fire wrong during the first 10 minutes of a cook, and what the correct approach looks like" is a pitch we can evaluate and respond to. The more clearly your pitch shows us the angle, the argument, and the reader takeaway, the faster we can give you a yes.

Tell us briefly why you're qualified to write it. Not a full bio — just the one or two lines of background that establish your credibility on this specific topic. Competition results, professional roles, specific personal experience — whatever is most relevant to the angle you're pitching.

And tell us, in one sentence, why it's right for our audience. Show us you've thought about who reads the Vita Forvo blog and why your article serves them specifically. Pitches that are clearly repurposed from another outlet's submission queue don't make it past the first read.
