Instructions

  1. Dry Brining the Beef:

    Coat the beef rump joint generously with salt. Place it in the fridge to dry brine overnight. This will season the meat deeply and help tenderize it.

  2. Morning Prep:

    Take the beef out of the fridge and let it come to room temperature. Rub it all over with Worcestershire sauce. Then, sprinkle with black pepper and garlic powder for added flavor.

  3. Fire Up the Grill:

    Heat up your Everdure Hub 2 using lump charcoal. Aim for a grill temp around 150-160°C for an even cook. Get your MEATER or thermometer ready to track the internal beef temperature.

  4. Cooking the Beef:

    For medium-rare, pull the beef when it reaches 55-57°C. Let it rest for 30 minutes, so those juices redistribute.

  5. Toasting the Baguettes:

    While the beef rests, slice the baguettes and toast them over the coals to get that perfect crisp, slightly charred texture.

  6. Making the Zesty Sauce:

    In a bowl, mix 2 parts English mustard, 1 part horseradish sauce, and 3 parts mayonnaise. Adjust for your preferred kick—spicy or mellow.

  7. Assembling the Sandwich:

    Slice the rested beef thinly. Slather the toasted baguette with the zesty sauce, layer on the beef slices, add a handful of fresh rocket, and finish with another drizzle of the sauce.

  8. Serve and Enjoy:

    Slice each baguette in half, serve up, and watch the magic happen as everyone digs in!

Still buzzing from The Big BBQ Community Cookout at Millington Hall Farm, Cheshire 🔥

What. A. Weekend.

Old mates, new friends, non-stop food, live fire, beers, banter, and some of the best people you could ever meet. From the butchers demos to the fire stage, the wing challenge, and the teepees glowing late into the night — this one had it all.

Huge shoutout to @charredfoodco & @cheshire_grill for pulling off something incredible for their first event 👏 

Rumours are already flying for next year, and I can’t bloody wait.

Big love too to everyone I got to hang with, but special shoutouts to — @jons.bbq , @wazs_sauce_hut , @alfresco_chapel_bbq , @meatf_reaks & the lads, @banquet1415 , @liamthecateringbutcher , @firetitsbbq , and Tom from @kendogrills — absolute legends every one of you 🙌

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.

"Rotisserie Picanha with a fat cap sizzling, gooey Brazilian cheese bread, smoky sweet potato wedges and a mango-pomegranate salsa that hits like Rio Carnival 🎉🥩🧀"

This cook’s a full-on flavour trip:

🧀 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.

First night away in the @tentbox I bought from @nomadtrailers ✅

Kept it local and, despite a few niggles, I loved it. 

Stayed at the @theglampingpub pub & campsite — can’t fault it at all. Friendly owners, loads of chats with locals and other guests, self-serve beer pumps (dangerous 😂), and the food was spot on after hiking the Footsteps of Kolkr.

Lessons learned:

	•	I need a @jackery.uk or similar . . . power is everything ⚡️

	•	Waterproof jacket = essential for packing away in the rain 🌧

	•	Snacks . . . don’t forget the snacks 🥨

	•	Mobile reception is rubbish — might have to treat myself to portable Starlink 📡

Wins:

	•	Two plastic tubs system worked perfectly (one for tent & dog bits, one for comfort gear — @chillbeamofficial lights, speaker, chargers etc).

	•	My double sleeping bag was a game-changer — best night’s sleep ever. 😴

	•	TentBox setup was smooth, even if pack-down in the rain took me 15 mins instead of 5.

Overall: cracking little adventure, and I can’t wait for the next one… which just happens to be the Big BBQ Community Cookout next weekend 🔥🍻
