Smoke & Sear – BBQ Recipes, Tips, and Outdoor Cooking Inspiration

FOURGE has never just been about rubs, merch, or turning up to events looking the part. It’s about building something real with people we trust, food we believe in, and a bigger purpose behind it all.

The response to the Founders Box has been class so far. There’ll only ever be 50, and 25 have already gone. If you’re still on the fence, check out the Founders Wall on the website and have a word with the people who’ve already backed it. They’ll tell you straight.

We’re also getting closer to being out in the wild properly, with the smoker heading to events like Community Cookout 2026 and @meatupfestival We can’t wait to get out there, feed people well, and show you what FOURGE is all about. The menu’s taking shape, we’re still tweaking it, and yes — founders get discount on food too. Just saying.

At the heart of it all is Pass The Flame. Every purchase helps us give something back by supporting people across the UK who need a start in outdoor cooking. That part means a lot to us, and we’re buzzing to make the first one count.

If you’ve backed us already, thank you.
If you’ve been watching from the sidelines, now’s the time.

Join the movement. Shop. Book. Back the flame.

P.S. Yes, the first photo’s had a bit of Photoshop help. We wanted to look less “up since 5am tending a fire” and more “mysterious BBQ heart-throbs”. The food still needs no filter.

Mission successful ✅

I’ve used the @tentbox loads on my own, but this was the first time the kids had joined me. We headed to a local campsite to see how they’d get on for their first night in it.

I thought it might get cold, even had an electric blanket on standby, but with the four of us up there it never dropped below 18°C . . . genuinely shocked.

We’re still in the tent as I write this — kids watching a film on the iPad while we listen to the rain outside.

This summer is going to be a good one. Let the adventures begin.

P.S Yes - Olivia was in charge of the @chillbeamofficial lights hence the pink theme 😂

Weekend plans got cancelled last minute, so rather than sit around doing nothing, I decided to just pack the car and get away for the day while the sun was out.

Me and Wren headed over to @theglampingpub and made the most of it. We had a good walk round the local area, ended up doing over 30,000 steps, then got set up for the evening. A few self-serve pints in the pub, some food, and now I’m in the @tentbox watching a film.

The funny thing is BBQ life is never really far away. I’ve got my @meatermade keeping an eye on the temperature in the car where Wren is tucked up on a big insulated bed with plenty of covers, and I’ve even set alerts so I can warm the car up remotely for her if needed. She lives a better life than most people to be honest.

I definitely needed the break. Just a day in the fresh air, away from the usual stress, with a bit of time to think about the year ahead and what I actually want to do with it.

Not a bad way to spend a cancelled weekend.

Iberico half rack on the Ninja FlexFlame tonight 🔥

Kept this one simple and let the pork do the talking.

Beautiful Iberico pork from @thecateringbutcher , cooked on the @ninjakitchenuk FlexFlame at 170°C with crispy potatoes on the plate, tenderstem broccoli, apple sauce and pickled onions for a bit of sharpness.

Used @fourge.bbq TEMPER on the pork and FOURGE SPARK on the potatoes 👌

Everything cooked together and landed in around 1 hour 10 minutes — proper easy outdoor cooking without overcomplicating it.

Rich pork, crispy spuds, bit of colour on the board… job done.
