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!

Booked it the night before. Turned out to be one of the best little trips we’ve had.

@pinecones_cc is just over an hour from home, so with the @tentbox already on the car, we just went.

The Sandringham Royal Estate is only about a 30-minute walk from the site and the play park is HUGE. Because we walked over, no parking charge either. A few hours out for free and the kids loved it . . . can’t argue with that 😂

Then back to site for fish and chips, a few drinks in the bar, frisbee, board games and movies in the TentBox.

This is exactly why I keep it on the car.

Last-minute adventures are what it’s all about. ❤️

AD | Pizza dough has been my nemesis for YEARS . . . so I basically stopped bothering. 🍕🔥

No matter what recipe I tried, I could never quite get it right.

Well . . . turns out I don’t have that problem anymore. 😅

@greatballs.of.flour sent me their Essential Box and, apart from your toppings of choice, it contains everything you need to make 12 pizzas for just over £40.

For context, a Domino’s round here is about £14 a pizza. We enjoy it at the time . . . then about an hour later we’re all sat there questioning our life choices. 😂

So instead, I dragged the three kids outside and we made our own.

Were they perfectly round? Absolutely not.

Was there flour everywhere? Obviously.

Did we have a laugh, get the kids involved in cooking and make some genuinely epic pizzas? 100%.

And that was the bit I loved most.

The dough was an absolute joy to work with — genuinely easy enough for the kids to stretch and shape themselves — and everyone got to make exactly what they wanted.

We spread it over a couple of days, made a load of different pizzas and obviously finished things properly with a chocolate and marshmallow pizza. 🤤

For just over £40 for 12 pizzas, this was a seriously good way to turn dinner into something we actually did together.

And finally . . . pizza dough and I might have made peace. 😂🍕

The Essential Box was kindly sent to me by Great Balls of Flour for me to try and create some content with. All thoughts are my own.
If my 3-year-old daughter could get outside and cook . . . what’s stopping you? 🔥

This popped up in my memories today from 2021, and it proper got me.

My kids are my world. Being a single, full-time dad to three is stressful, chaotic and rarely goes to plan . . . but I wouldn’t have it any other way.

I’ve always dragged them into this outdoor cooking journey with me, and looking back at videos like this reminds me why.

The cooks get forgotten.

The recipes change.

The kit changes.

But the memories? They stick.

This one also takes me right back to the early days of Smoke & Sear, when @bradleysmoker were the first brand to ever reach out and back what I was doing.

I’ve never forgotten that.

And funny enough, I still use my Bradley all the time today — especially for hot holding. Absolute workhorse.

Five years on, the Moink Balls are long gone.

But this little moment?

That’s priceless. ❤️🔥

MEATUP 2026 . . . what a weekend. 🔥

Our first ever festival as FOURGE.

In just two days we served 617 customers . . . a number that genuinely blows our minds.

As someone who’s usually hiding behind a screen or an iPhone, I wasn’t prepared for just how tough festival life is. Massive respect to everyone who does this every weekend—I was a broken man by the end of day one! 😂

The best part? Meeting so many of you, seeing people wearing FOURGE merch, hearing incredible feedback, and watching a brand that’s only a year old become part of something so special.

To everyone who queued, supported us, shared a laugh or simply stopped by to say hello . . . thank you. ❤️

If this was @meatupfestival first year, we genuinely can’t wait to see what the future holds.

617 transactions.
One unforgettable weekend.
We’ll be back. 🔥

THANK YOU to everyone for the love you showed us this weekend. Our first-ever festival as FOURGE was absolutely non-stop!

I’m physically and mentally ruined… but I’d do it all again. Maybe not next weekend though 😂

Seriously, your support genuinely means the world to us.

THREE BBQS. THREE FAMILY DINNERS. ONE BOX. 🔥

This is the BBQ Basics Box from Village Butchers, and rather than cooking the whole lot for one massive BBQ, I wanted to see how far we could actually make it go.

The answer? Three completely different dinners for me and the three kids — with plenty to go around.

🥩 Inside the box:

• 1kg Korean-style beef short ribs (Galbi / flanken cut)
• 2 x 10–12oz rump steaks
• 4 x 110g beef steak burgers
• 6 traditional English sausages
• 1kg butterfly chicken breast
• 4 lamb kebabs
• 2 pork chops

We spread it across three nights, kept the sides simple and cooked outside each evening.

🔥 Night one — Olivia joined me for burgers and sausages on the Ninja FlexFlame.

🔥 Night two — Oakley helped cook the rump steaks and butterfly chicken over charcoal on the Weber Go Anywhere.

🔥 Night three — Oscar joined me on the Kamado Joe for Korean short ribs, pork chops and lamb kebabs.

Nothing overly complicated. No expensive sides. No turning dinner into an all-day cook.

Just decent meat, simple sides and three proper family dinners.

BBQ doesn’t always need to be a big event. Sometimes it’s just dinner — cooked outside.

For clarity: Village Butchers sent me the BBQ Basics Box free of charge. I decided to turn it into three family dinners and cook each one with my kids.
