When the princess demands short ribs . . . you bloody deliver! 👑💥
Picked up these beauties from @thecateringbutcher – and mate, the quality hits you as soon as you tear open the pack.
Proper meat, no messing about.
Three-hour walk with the dog. Cold. Starving.
This steak was meant to be dinner. The usual plan . . . cook it properly later with some Instagram-worthy veg that gets binned once the photo’s done. But I got back, opened the fridge, and lunch happened instead.
I haven’t been cooking in the shack as much lately for personal reasons, but the kids have been on at me to dust the grills off. So I put an order in with @thecateringbutcher — kids’ favourites, wings, ribs, cheeks . . . and I decided to treat myself today.
Kept it simple on the Weber Go-Anywhere. Slither of oak for a bit of smoke, cooked to medium.
Steak. Chips. Peppercorn sauce.
What a bloody good lunch.
If that’s the reward after every dog walk, I’m straight back out the door. 🔥
Just wanted to wish everyone a Happy New Year . . .
2025 has been a huge personal challenge but with the kids by my side there is no obstacle we can’t overcome . . . and we’ve made sure we’ve had plenty of fun on the way.
I’ve been slacking off a little with the ‘U.K. BBQ scene’ lately and content creation . . . but behind the scenes I’ve been working on something honestly HUGE and within a month or two I’ll be able to share something that, well, is going to change the U.K BBQ game for sure! I’m excited just thinking about it . . .
I want to thank all those who’ve been checking in lately and the thousands and thousands of people who still rely on my Website and WhatsApp Community to help support their own BBQ journey . . . It still amazes me how many of you use what I’ve created.
2026 . . . Let’s do this! It’s gonna be a wild ride!
Today marks one year since I relaunched the Smoke & Sear website — and honestly, I thought it wouldn’t survive.
With everyone jumping to AI for recipes and reviews, I genuinely expected my little BBQ site to fade away.
But you proved me wrong.
Massively wrong.
Here are 10 epic facts from the first 12 months:
🔥 Nearly 180,000 new people visited the site — enough to fill Wembley twice.
🔥 People from 100+ countries used the site this year.
🔥 The USA alone sent 51,000+ visitors.
🔥 Perfect Pulled Pork was read 32,947 times.
🔥 Ninja content smashed 100,000+ views across Woodfire & FlexFlame reviews.
🔥 Pages were loaded hundreds of thousands of times overall.
🔥 The UK BBQ Events 2025 page hit 7,200+ readers.
🔥 Brisket content pulled 13,000+ views… and I’ve only cooked TWO briskets in my entire life. 😂
🔥 Even the 404 page somehow got 8,406 views.
🔥 And my honest, unsponsored reviews were read over 92,000 times — real testing that people actually trust.
I can’t thank you enough for reading, cooking, sharing, messaging, and keeping this whole thing alive.
In a year where everyone said websites were dead . . . you showed me that real cooks, real stories, and real honesty still matter.
Here’s to year two — bigger, hotter, smokier, and even more ridiculous. 🔥❤️

Coffee-Infused Beef Short Ribs slathered in a bourbon & maple sauce that was so good I nearly licked the plate clean . . . twice.
Rich, sticky, smoky, sweet, boozy — proper grown-up BBQ that hits different.
🔥 The real star though? That sauce.
Here’s how you make it — trust me, you’ll wanna bookmark this one:
🧪 Bourbon & Maple BBQ Sauce
• 160g Maple Syrup
• 80g @woodfordreserve Bourbon
• 60g Ketchup
• 60g Brown Sugar
• 4 tsp Apple Cider Vinegar
• 4 tsp @norfolk_smoke_pit ‘Brew & Briskets’ Rub
Chuck it all in a pan, simmer it down, and let the magic happen. It’s sticky, boozy BBQ gold.
📸 Would I make these again? Absolutely.
⏪ Did I cook these exact ribs 4 years ago to the day? You bet I did.
1 year living next door to RAF Coningsby . . . and what a year it’s been.
Didn’t miss a single Typhoon display practice, caught every Red Arrows pass I could, and those Lancaster moments over the garden will always feel special.
Here’s a little montage of just some of the magic I’ve seen this year.
Can’t wait to see what 2026 brings. ✈️🔥
Not just cooked . . . this tomahawk was forged in fire.
Reverse-cooked low ‘n slow, then straight-up dirty seared right on the coals for that primal crust. Finished with a fat slice of cowboy butter — melted over the top with a chunk of red-hot charcoal.
Flavour? Savage.
Style? Full caveman.
Crust? Absolute filth.

Too early for a Christmas-themed turkey cook? Maybe.
But with Thanksgiving just around the corner and festive planning in full swing . . . now feels like the perfect time to drop this belter.
Smoked, brined, and slathered in herby garlic butter – this wood-fired turkey’s an absolute showstopper.
Full cook on the Kamado Joe. Full flavour. Full-on festive vibes. 🎄🔥
🎥 Watch the reel
