Ingredients

For the Lamb Kebab:

Instructions

  1. Blend for Smoothness:

    Combine all the ingredients in a food processor. Blend until the mixture forms a smooth paste, ensuring all spices are evenly incorporated.

  2. Shape & Marinate:

    Form the lamb mixture into a cylindrical log. Wrap tightly in foil and refrigerate overnight to allow the flavours to develop.

  3. Pre-Cooking Prep:

    Remove the log from the fridge and let it sit at room temperature for 30 minutes while still wrapped in foil. This step ensures even cooking.

  4. Bake:

    Preheat the Ninja Woodfire to Bake mode at 150°C. Place the foil-wrapped log directly onto the grill or cooking tray and bake until the internal temperature reaches 70°C, approximately 40 minutes.

  5. Roast for Colour:

    Increase the Woodfire temperature to 220°C. Remove the lamb from the foil and roast for an additional 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally to achieve a rich, golden crust.

  6. Slice and Sear:

    Stand the kebab upright and slice thin strips off the log. Heat a flat plate or griddle on high and toss the strips quickly to add colour and texture.

  7. Serve:

    Toast flatbreads lightly, load them with the sliced lamb, and top with your favourite salad and kebab sauces. Serve immediately.

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 😉

Right then . . . @igulubeer got in touch and asked if I fancied giving their S1 Smart Home Brewing System a go 🍺

We had a few honest chats – I’ve never brewed beer before, but I do love trying out new gear, especially when there’s tech involved. They sent over the S1 – their latest smart brewing machine – along with a German Helles brew kit, and this reel shows the unboxing and kicking off that first ever brew.

Apparently, it takes 20 days until it’s ready to drink – so this is just the start.  There’ll be more coming soon as I pair a few brews with proper cooks off the BBQ 🔥#

Now, quick heads up – the S1 is currently out of stock in the UK. But if you like the look of it, stay tuned – once it’s back on sale, I should be able to sort you out with a cheeky discount 👀

Could this be the new bit of kit the BBQ shack was missing?

Let’s see how it turns out . . . 

What should I brew next?

🔥 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).
