For the past few days I’ve been glued to the forecast like some obsessed weather nerd . . .

Low cloud.
Wind.
Rain.
Cancelled. Cancelled. Cancelled.

But today . . . blue skies 😎

Being half term, I grabbed my two youngest and headed straight for the fence line with cautious optimism . . .

And boom 💥

First display @raf_typhoondisplayteam practice of the season, and it did NOT disappoint.

Huge moment seeing DRAGON01 tear up the Lincolnshire sky 🔥

Flight Lieutenant Tom Nation absolutely sending it.

Some things are just worth the wait.

47 today . . . Perfect excuse to chuck a rack of ribs on and get stuck in for a cheeky little birthday treat.

Back in 2024 Ninja flew me out to Nashville for the US launch of the FlexFlame, and it’s only just properly landed here in the UK. So today wasn’t about polished content — it was about getting familiar with it again and making sure everything’s running sweet.

After all . . . I did build it myself 😅

Meaty spare ribs from @thecateringbutcher coated in @harry_js_bbq Smoky Cola rub. Couple of hours in the smoke, wrapped in butter, sugar and honey, then finished off with a sticky glaze.

All while standing out there in the snow of all things ❄️🔥

Disclaimer: The FlexFlame was sent to me by @ninjakitchenuk and I’ll be creating some official content with it very soon.

You’ll have seen @fourge.bbq pop up yesterday.

I wanted to take a moment to explain what that means for me — and for Smoke & Sear.

Smoke & Sear didn’t start as a plan or a brand. It started when I invested in my first smoker and fell headfirst into outdoor cooking. Along the way, I discovered a growing, supportive BBQ community on Instagram — people sharing knowledge, encouraging each other, and genuinely wanting to see the UK BBQ scene grow.

I loved it.

From that point on, Smoke & Sear became my way of giving something back. Sharing what I was learning, being honest about the wins and the mistakes, testing gear, highlighting good people, and doing my small bit to help grow UK BBQ in a positive way.

That’s never changed.

Smoke & Sear is still me. Still community-first. Still about learning, sharing, and supporting where I can.

But being one person, there’s only so much reach you can have on your own.

Being part of @fourge.bbq opens that up.

FOURGE is a separate venture built with three mates — bigger in scope, broader in ambition, and built to do things I simply couldn’t do solo. Cooking at events, building products, creating experiences, and pushing UK BBQ forward in a different way.

What matters most to me is that the values stay the same.
Supporting the community. Sharing knowledge. Bringing people together over fire and food.

Smoke & Sear continues exactly as it is.

FOURGE is the next chapter alongside it.

I’m genuinely excited about what’s coming — and if you’ve ever backed what I’ve been building here, I’d love your support over at @fourge.bbq too.

Let’s see how far we can take this 🔥
