Instructions

  1. Dry Brining the Tomahawk Steak

    Pat the Tomahawk steak dry and place it on a wire rack over a baking tray. Generously sprinkle with high-quality salt and leave it uncovered in the fridge overnight. This enhances the flavour and tenderness.

  2. Preparing the Everdure Hub II

    Place your charcoal on the stainless steel insert and ignite. Once the coals are hot and ashed over, push them to one side under where you’ll cook the steak. Keep an eye on the coals, topping up as needed to maintain a steady heat.

  3. Attaching the Steak to the Rotisserie

    Remove the steak from the fridge 30 minutes before cooking. Coat it with SPG rub. Secure the steak onto the rotisserie rod with Butcher’s Code Rotisserie Elastic and Cotton Blend to ensure it stays steady.

  4. Slow Cooking the Steak

    • Set the rotisserie to the highest setting and cook slowly. Use a MEATER to monitor the internal temperature remotely. Add oak chunks to the embers for a smoky flavor. Cook until the steak reaches the desired internal temperature (see temperature guide below).

    Steak Doneness Guide:

    • Rare: 45°C / 113°F (rotisserie) → 49°C / 120°F (searing) → 51°C / 125°F (final)
    • Medium Rare: 49°C / 120°F (rotisserie) → 53°C / 127°F (searing) → 54°C / 130°F (final)
    • Medium: 55°C / 131°F (rotisserie) → 58°C / 136°F (searing) → 60°C / 140°F (final)
    • Medium Well: 60°C / 140°F (rotisserie) → 63°C / 145°F (searing) → 65°C / 150°F (final)
    • Well Done: 65°C / 149°F (rotisserie) → 71°C / 160°F (searing) → 74°C / 165°F (final)
  5. Whipping Up the Chimichurri

    Slice off the top of the garlic bulb, drizzle with olive oil and salt, and wrap in foil. Roast in embers for 40-45 minutes. Roast peppers (15-20 minutes) and tomatoes (10-15 minutes) on the grill. Let peppers steam in a covered bowl. Blend all roasted veggies with parsley, oregano, olive oil, red wine vinegar, salt, and red pepper flakes until mixed.

  6. The Searing Finale

    With a hot bed of coals, sear the steak directly on the coals for 1-2 minutes per side. Remove and let rest for 10 minutes.

  7. Grilling the Asparagus

    Coat asparagus with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Grill until tender and slightly charred.

  8. The Grand Finale

    Slice the steak off the bone and into thin slices. Plate with grilled asparagus and drizzle with chimichurri. Enjoy your BBQ masterpiece!

1 year living next door to RAF Coningsby . . . and what a year it’s been.

Didn’t miss a single Typhoon display practice, caught every Red Arrows pass I could, and those Lancaster moments over the garden will always feel special.

Here’s a little montage of just some of the magic I’ve seen this year.

Can’t wait to see what 2026 brings. ✈️🔥
Not just cooked . . . this tomahawk was forged in fire.

Reverse-cooked low ‘n slow, then straight-up dirty seared right on the coals for that primal crust. Finished with a fat slice of cowboy butter — melted over the top with a chunk of red-hot charcoal.

Flavour? Savage.
Style? Full caveman.
Crust? Absolute filth.

Smoked, brined, and slathered in herby garlic butter – this wood-fired turkey’s an absolute showstopper.

Full cook on the Kamado Joe. Full flavour. Full-on festive vibes. 🎄🔥

Right then — first brew DONE, and what better way to mark it than cooking up something to go with it 🍗🍺

If you saw my reel 20 days ago, @igulubeer had sent me their S1 Smart Home Brewing System (gifted) — and this was the moment of truth. First pour, first taste, and my first ever beer used in a BBQ recipe.

I grilled up some beer-brined, honey beer glazed chicken thighs on the @ninjakitchenuk Woodfire, dropped ’em into warm naan pockets with salad, poured over some of that leftover glaze, and got stuck in 🔥

⸻

🧂 Beer Brine:

	•	250ml cold water
	•	250ml of my freshly brewed German Helles
	•	50g salt
	•	25g sugar
	•	1 garlic clove (smashed)
	•	1 bay leaf
	•	5–6 peppercorns

Brined boneless, skinless chicken thighs for 6 hours, patted them dry, and cracked on.

⸻

🍯 Honey Beer Glaze:

	•	150ml beer
	•	2 tbsp honey
	•	1.5 tbsp French’s yellow mustard
	•	1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
	•	1 tsp smoked paprika
	•	Salt & pepper
	•	Knob of butter

Simmered until it thickened up and got sticky, then basted the chicken in the last few mins.

⸻

🔥 Cooked in the Ninja Woodfire:

	•	Grill Mode: HIGH
	•	Around 10–12 mins, flipping halfway
	•	Glazed the last 3–4 mins ’til it was glossy and banging

⸻

Served it all in naan pockets with fresh salad, poured over some of that leftover glaze, and washed it down with a cold pint of the beer I brewed myself. Not gonna lie — for a first try, I’m proper impressed 👌

The only problem? I’ve no CO2 setup yet, so the keg needs finishing sharpish . . . looks like it’s gonna be a very decent night 😂

👉 What should I brew next?

1 year to the day . . . and I still can’t believe little old me was flown to Nashville by @ninjakitchenuk . First time in America, first time doing anything like that — honestly one of the biggest moments of my BBQ life. And yep, the FlexFlame review I wrote back then is still getting loads of daily traffic too. Madness.
Simple Beef Stew & Fire-Roasted Mash in the Kamado Joe

No thrills. No fancy edits. Just a proper wholesome family dinner cooked low and slow outdoors. Diced beef braising steak, smoked and stewed in the Smoke Pot, with jacket spuds roasted next to it and turned into mash — easy as you like.

Kept the reel as simple as the cook — no crazy angles, just real food, cooked for me and the kids. And sometimes, it’s the simple things that just hit the spot.

Not that you’ll need it, but the full recipe’s up on the website as usual 😉
