Apologies for the square videos - these were pulled from my Instagram! For the first time ever, I managed to cook a packer-cut brisket almost perfectly! There were 2 things that I did differently to before: I sourced the perfect piece of meat from Meat and Cleaver UK (no affiliation but they...

Hi all, I'm attempting my 2nd brisket cook soon but am ordering a flat from a butchers here in the UK. I wasn't sure whether it was a good idea but after seeing competition cooks separate the point from the flat, I decided it would be worth my time to learn how to cook the cuts separately...

Hi all, I'll preface this by saying that I had a huge amount of help from the SMF community when I posted about my plan on how to cook pulled pork. Thanks to the great feedback, my plan changed slightly and I was able to nail this cook. Prep I did my pre the night before. I removed almost...

Hi all, This weekend, I'll be cooking a huge bone-in pork shoulder that I got from a butcher friend in the south of the UK. I've wanted to try pulled pork for a while and I've done some research on the topic and have come up with my 'instructions' of what to do on the day - and I wanted some...

Hi all, As you might have seen from other topics I've posted, I had planned to do my first packer cut brisket this weekend. I've posted most of this over on my Instagram so I'll keep it short and only include the good bits! I woke at 5am to prep the brisket and warm the smoker. By 6am...

I'm back again with my second attempt at making some good American-style BBQ with spare ribs! You can watch this video on YouTube by searching for 'Exclusive BBQ' and finding my channel! I started off with making my own rub (recipe here or down below): I then applied it to the ribs after...

Hi all, I've just uploaded my first BBQ video to YouTube and whilst I didn't invest anything more than my time in the production value, I did want to try my best to make something that people wanted to watch and would be useful. Whether I ticked those boxes, only time will tell, but it got me...

Hi all, I've recently been buying things to get started on my BBQ journey and wanted to start posting reviews of my own to help people out. To start with, I reviewed the Sendowtek Barbecue Thermometer . For under £30, you get a responsive, dual-probe thermometer that connects wirelessly over...

I uploaded a video of this cook (my first one) that you can view by clicking here - your feedback is much appreciated, especially as it's my first video and I plan on making many more! Morning all, Thought I'd document my fisrt proper smoke on a kettle BBQ. I've smoked meat in the past, but...

Hi all, I just wanted to introduce myself to the UK crew. I'm Chris, 28, from Birmingham and am about to do my first proper smoke on a charcoal BBQ this weekend (a relatively cheap, but decently-sized kettle BBQ). I've read up on the 'snake method', got a rub ready to go, ordered briquettes...

Hi all, I'm very glad to see that there's a 'dessert' section on here as it's probably my favourite course! I grew up baking with my mum and regularly love baking cakes and other sweet treats. Last weekend, I decided to 'level up' my chocolate brownies and tried my hand at making caramel (dry...
