It IS fun...I was thinking again about the similtude with golf.
I've played golf. There are so many things that come into play - grip, stance, club selection,etc - and that's just on the 1st hole. You can hear so much from TV or mags or online that can have you chasing the latest "thing" to improve your golf game.
I love to try different things out in the shed. The way I figger is that I might find something I like a little better...an easier prep, a better flavor profile, another cooker, etc.
My own profile includes an adventurous attitude - go ahead, take the risk, so this sport of outdoor cooking has fit me very well.
When I look at the infinite number of rubs, marinades, and cooker combinations, I can't live long enough to try them all.
I'll keep pluggin' along and see how far down the list I make it.
