Points aren't a game. They're a record of who shows up and helps. Here's the whole system, out in the open. How you earn them One like on your post or comment is one point. That's it. You can't buy them and you can't grind them. The room decides. The levels Level 1, Cold Grate. 0 points. Level 2, Match Lit. 5 points. Nothing to collect. Five likes means somebody found you useful, and that's the point. Level 3, Two-Zone. 20 points. Early access to the next free guide, 24 hours before it lands in the Vault. Level 4, Holds 250. 65 points. Your cook featured by me. Level 5, Reads Smoke. 155 points. You pick the next Myth vs. Pit, and I settle it in the feed. Level 6, Clean Bark. 515 points. Your question answered on camera, in a video, with your name on it. Level 7, Runs the Pit. 2,015 points. Your cook in the Wednesday newsletter, in front of the whole list. Level 8, Teaches the Room. 8,015 points. A featured breakdown of one of your cooks, taught to the whole room. Level 9, Backyard Legend. 33,015 points. A permanent spot in the Backyard BBQ-R Hall of Fame. Every reward from Level 5 up is one time, not a standing service. That's deliberate. One person can only give real feedback to so many people at once, and a promise I can't keep is worth less than one I can. What's never locked Start Here. Safety & Fire Management. The Free Guide Vault, including the Fire Management Quick Card. The Backyard BBQ-R Video Library. 10 Most Asked Questions And Answers. All open on day one, all staying that way. Levels unlock extras, never education. Nobody pays a participation tax to learn fire control in here. Fastest way up Answer somebody's question. Helpful answers get liked, and likes are points. That's the whole design, and it's deliberate. Real pit. Real results.
