LOL! Touche!  It's true that Jeff does what he loves, but he doesn't just "cook barbecue." He writes newsletters every week, contributes to a digital BBQ magazine, contributes the occasional article for other magazines/publications, maintains a website and a huge online forum, manages advertisers, answers hundreds of emails per week and takes and edits all his own photos, among other things. He only cooks on Tuesdays and holidays--and even that requires research and major preparation.
There all sorts of stressful components to owning your own business (such as doing your own bookkeeping, invoicing advertisers, etc.), although I totally agree that it's worth it if you can turn what you love doing into something profitable. In many ways it is definitely easier to work for someone else, turn in the required number of hours and then go home and leave it all at the office.
