This morning I headed over to @lincoln_bbq_shop to check out their new site and have a chat about whether they could help restore my KJ, which has definitely seen better days.

As soon as I opened the door, the place was honestly full of people browsing the range and picking up bits. It’s genuinely great to see a local business benefiting from the growing interest in outdoor cooking here in Lincolnshire.

I picked up some fuel while I was there, and I’ve also made plans for the legend that is Owen to pop over to mine one evening to fit a new gasket and replace a few bits that got damaged during the house move.

If you’re in Lincoln and into cooking outdoors, you need to get yourself down to this place.

Stayed over at @lazybuzzards22 last night with the three kids and Wren in the TentBox ⛺️🐾

Being Easter holidays, we wanted to get out in it a bit more, and this trip had two goals really . . .

First — would we still have a good laugh on a site with not much more than a toilet and shower block?

Second — could I actually fit three kids, a dog, food, drinks, games, Starlink, power banks, lights and everything else needed for a comfy night away into one car without looking like I was moving house?

Somehow . . . yes 😅

And to be fair, it proved you don’t always need loads on site to have a cracking little getaway. Bit of fresh air, simple set up, kids happy, dog happy, job done.

What I didn’t expect though . . . turns out this place has its own BBQ competition scene too 👀🔥

So now I’m curious . . . who’s heard of the comps there before?

And more importantly . . . who’s up for entering next year? 😜

🔥 THE ULTIMATE BBQ SHACK UPGRADE GIVEAWAY 🔥

Right then . . . since October I’ve been quietly turning the BBQ shack into a mini brewery 🍺

The legends over at @igulu_global sent me one of their smart brewing systems to test, and I’ll be honest . . . I didn’t know what to expect.

I’d never brewed beer before.

Turns out? It’s stupidly easy. Proper geeky. And the beer is genuinely class.

So . . . we thought we’d give one of you legends the full setup 👊

⸻

WHAT’S UP FOR GRABS? 👇

🍺 1 x F1 Smart Home Brewing System
🍺 2 x Brewing Kits
💰 Worth over £700

This version uses a built-in compressor cooling system (yeah . . . proper beer fridge vibes), so you’re sorted for fresh, perfectly chilled pints straight from your own setup.

BBQ on. Pint poured. Job done.

Had to give the local lads a shoutout tonight 👊

Went for the Mighty Meaty from @bunsontherunconingsby , just outside The Castle Pub — loaded with smoked bacon cheese, smoked sausage, pulled pork and crispy onions. On the side I had magic dusted fries and a mac n cheese, so this definitely wasn’t a light tea 😅

Now sure . . . I can cook up a pretty decent smashburger at home 😏

But it’s important to support local businesses too, and the three guys running this place are top lads. Even better, their food backs it up as well.

I always try to support local independents and any UK BBQ business I can. We all need to do our bit and back the people out there grafting, because that support matters.

So if you’re near Coningsby and fancy a proper feed, give them a look.

FOURGE has never just been about rubs, merch, or turning up to events looking the part. It’s about building something real with people we trust, food we believe in, and a bigger purpose behind it all.

The response to the Founders Box has been class so far. There’ll only ever be 50, and 25 have already gone. If you’re still on the fence, check out the Founders Wall on the website and have a word with the people who’ve already backed it. They’ll tell you straight.

We’re also getting closer to being out in the wild properly, with the smoker heading to events like Community Cookout 2026 and @meatupfestival We can’t wait to get out there, feed people well, and show you what FOURGE is all about. The menu’s taking shape, we’re still tweaking it, and yes — founders get discount on food too. Just saying.

At the heart of it all is Pass The Flame. Every purchase helps us give something back by supporting people across the UK who need a start in outdoor cooking. That part means a lot to us, and we’re buzzing to make the first one count.

If you’ve backed us already, thank you.
If you’ve been watching from the sidelines, now’s the time.

Join the movement. Shop. Book. Back the flame.

P.S. Yes, the first photo’s had a bit of Photoshop help. We wanted to look less “up since 5am tending a fire” and more “mysterious BBQ heart-throbs”. The food still needs no filter.

Mission successful ✅

I’ve used the @tentbox loads on my own, but this was the first time the kids had joined me. We headed to a local campsite to see how they’d get on for their first night in it.

I thought it might get cold, even had an electric blanket on standby, but with the four of us up there it never dropped below 18°C . . . genuinely shocked.

We’re still in the tent as I write this — kids watching a film on the iPad while we listen to the rain outside.

This summer is going to be a good one. Let the adventures begin.

P.S Yes - Olivia was in charge of the @chillbeamofficial lights hence the pink theme 😂

A few highlights from today’s practice display by Flt Lt Tom “DRAGON01” Nation.

Only the highlights this time, as full video uploads take agessss . . . but there was plenty worth catching from this afternoon.

Full video is on my Facebook page for anyone interested.

And to think, the man throwing the Typhoon around like that follows my BBQ journey as well 😜

Nothing like starting the week with a quiet morning walk . . . time to reflect on the week gone by, clear the head, and focus on what’s ahead.
