🔥 This is probably the thing I’m most proud of in my BBQ journey.

I’m not a pitmaster or pro chef — just a geek who started cooking outside during lockdown and wanted to remember what I’d learnt.

So I built Smoke & Sear - a site that’s now packed with:

✅ 100+ step-by-step BBQ recipes
✅ Honest reviews of grills, gadgets, and gear I’ve actually used
✅ A full UK BBQ Events calendar
✅ Top UK BBQ Instagram accounts
✅ Rub competitions, pitmaster map & more
✅ Sizzle – my own AI BBQ assistant (yep, I went full nerd)

All built to support the UK BBQ community — nothing fancy, just useful stuff from someone who lives and breathes it.

📍 114,000+ have found it via Google
📈 27,000+ users in one week (at peak)
🌍 Visitors from 170+ countries — but always flying the UK flag

—

💬 If you’ve ever used the site, let me know what helped.

If you haven’t yet, go have a mooch - it’s all free.

What else would you like me to add or do?

I’m a geek — and if it helps the UK BBQ community, I’ll see what I can do.

"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 🍟🔥🥩🧀"

🍟 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

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 🔥🍻
