Instructions

  1. Marinate the Chicken

    • In a large mixing bowl, combine hoisin sauce, light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, water, ketchup, sesame oil, minced garlic, minced ginger, five-spice powder, salt, black pepper, chili flakes (if using), and red food colouring.
    • Mix well to create the chicken marinade.
    • Add chicken thighs to the marinade, ensuring each piece is well coated.
    • Cover the bowl and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or ideally overnight.
  2. Prepare the Pineapples

    • Cut off the tops and bottoms of both pineapples. Carefully slice off the skin, following the natural curve of the fruit.
    • To remove the eyes, trace the spiral pattern they form on the pineapple.
    • Cut one pineapple in half to use as caps for the chicken kebab.
    • For the dessert pineapple, brush it with coconut milk and coat it with a mixture of brown sugar and cinnamon.
  3. Setting Up the Hub II

    • Place the charcoal on the stainless steel insert and press the ignition button.
    • Wait for the charcoal to be glowing hot and develop a layer of ash.
    • Spread the charcoal out gently and add more charcoal on top and around the existing layer until you have the desired amount of fuel.
  4. Preparing the Nigella Seed Flatbreads

    • In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1/2 teaspoon baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt.
    • Mix 180ml warm water and 2 tablespoons of olive oil.
    • Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until a dough forms.
    • Add 2 teaspoons of nigella seeds and knead them into the dough.
    • Divide the dough into 6-8 equal portions and shape each portion into a ball.
    • Roll out each dough ball into a thin, round disc.
    • Set aside until ready to cook on the grill.
  5. Cooking

    • Cook the marinated chicken on the rotisserie until it reaches an internal temperature of at least 77°C (170°F).
    • Throughout the cook, spray the dessert pineapple with watered-down coconut milk and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar.
    • When the chicken reaches around 66°C (150°F), start cooking the flatbreads on the grill.
    • Brush the vegetable skewers with a mixture of oil, soy sauce, and minced garlic, then cook them on the grill.
  6. Plating Up

    • Slice the chicken into pieces and place in a bowl. Keep warm in the warming cupboard of the Everdure Hub II.
    • Cut the pineapple cooked with the chicken into small cubes.
    • Assemble the dish by placing chicken on a flatbread, adding pineapple cubes, and drizzling with sweet chili sauce (optional).
    • Serve with the veggie skewers on the side.
  7. Dessert

    • Keep the dessert pineapple in the warming cupboard.
    • When ready for dessert, slice the pineapple and place a dollop of ice cream on top.
    • Sprinkle with cinnamon sugar.

🔥 Beef Shin Ragu – But Make It BBQ.

This ain’t your average ragu. Smoked low ‘n slow on the @kamadojoeuk , using shin from the legends at @villagebutchers and cooked in the beastly @kamagearhq Smoke Pot – this one’s a comfort food knockout.

First, we give the beef a kiss of oak smoke, then braise it in a rich red wine and tomato sauce with a cheeky hit of dark chocolate and cream to finish. Silky, smoky, proper belly-hugging stuff. Serve it with pappardelle, creamy mash or polenta and let the silence at the table speak for itself.

💥 Perfect for Autumn cook-ups. Even better the next day (if it lasts that long).

Shot on Hohem iSteady V3 Ultra 🎥🔥

I had some fantastic dino ribs from idevour that needed smoking — so I decided to put the new Hohem iSteady V3 Ultra through a proper real-world test while cooking.

Producing BBQ content solo is hard work — juggling tripods, chasing angles, and trying to film when your hands are covered in seasoning is honestly the most stressful part of sharing the journey.

But this gimbal genuinely made life easier.

🙌 Gesture control to start/stop recording and enable A.I. tracking worked a treat — reliable every time.

📸 The built-in tripod meant I could drop it exactly where I was cooking.

💡 The variable light module helped even out those tricky shadows.

🎮 And that removable remote with live-view screen . . . game-changer. I can finally use my phone’s rear camera for proper quality and still see exactly what I’m filming. A quick tweak on the joystick and framing’s sorted.

I’m still exploring the different gimbal modes and plan to dive deeper into the Hohem app, but for a first run it was seriously impressive — smooth, stable and intuitive.

Admittedly, filming myself using the gimbal filming me cooking got a little confusing at times (had to prop up an iPad to catch the chaos 😂) — oh, the joys of content creation!

In short: if you’re a solo content creator who wants to simplify your workflow while levelling up filming quality and creative angles, the Hohem iSteady V3 Ultra is an absolute winner.

"Just a bloke with a BBQ obsession and a dodgy memory."
"Low ‘n’ slow till it falls apart in your hands – @ninjakitchen Woodfire pulled pork that’s smoky, juicy and dangerously moreish 🐖🔥"

Here’s the move:
🐖 Pork collar rubbed, scored and (optionally) injected for max flavour
💨 Smoked at 120°C until the bark is set and the colour’s spot on
🥤 Foil-wrapped with cider vinegar, BBQ sauce… maybe even a cheeky splash of Dr Pepper
🔥 Cooked through till probe-tender at 95°C, then rested so it pulls like butter
🥪 Load it into buns, pile it on fries, or stuff it into a jacket spud – it’s BBQ gold

No shortcuts, just patience and smoke working their magic.

"Golden fries drowned in melty cheese, topped with smoky shredded beef cheeks that fall apart with a fork. Comfort food, BBQ style 🍟🔥🥩🧀"

The play-by-play:
🥩 Ox cheeks smoked in the @ninjakitchenuk Woodfire, then braised till buttery tender
🍟 Fries cooked crisp and golden, ready to carry the load
🧀 Cheddar, mozzarella & parmesan melted into gooey goodness
🌶️ Garnished with red chilli, spring onion & coriander for a fresh kick

It’s indulgent, messy, and exactly the kind of food that makes a BBQ table go quiet for a few minutes.

🧀 Pão de Queijo (Brazilian cheese bread) – crispy outside, chewy, cheesy middle
🍠 Sweet potato wedges with smoked paprika, grilled till fluffy inside and crisp outside
🥭 Carnival salsa with mango, pomegranate, coriander, lime & a kick of chilli

Stick it all on a big board, crack a cold one, and you’ve got yourself a proper celebration of fire and flavour.

🔥 Rested, sliced thin, juicy and tender
🥖 Artisan baguette toasted over the fire for that charred crunch
