23.01.2022 Hey folks, We’ve been Relaxing, Resting and Retooling and have been back at it today, recording episodes of the show with Bretto from Flamin Mongrels BBQ and Gus from Perth BBQ School. So why the pic of the new computer? That’s the Retooling part....... We’ve just taken delivery of our new laptop which is going to let us stream the episodes LIVE to the Smoking Hot Confessions BBQ Community.

Did I mention we’ll be moving to a LIVE format in the next few weeks?

21.01.2022 The finished product - COVID Carrot Soup with Ginger and Lemon Juice. So good!

20.01.2022 The key principle of entrepreneurship is finding a need, recognising the opportunity and seizing that opportunity. Trent Barrett is one of these people. He and his wife Cassie have just opened the Gold Coast’s first dedicated low’n’slow BBQ store - Smoked BBQ Co. Located in Miami, Smoked BBQ Co is soon to become a familiar haunt for BBQ aficionados from all over South East Queensland. And it’s easy to see why. There’s products to suit every BBQ’ers need, with an unprecedented... emphasis on Australian products, including rubs and sauces from all the big Aussie players and the whole suite of incredible woods from Ministry of Smoke. In this Episode, recorded during the Grand Opening weekend of the store, Trent and I explore what led to the opening of the store, how the process went, what the store has for customers, and what makes it different from the rest of the BBQ stores. We close out the episode with a bit of a lesson from former chef Trent on how backyard BBQers can put on a perfect 5 course BBQ degustation! Check it out now!

20.01.2022 COVID Carrot Soup for dinner tonight! Got some great recipe ideas? Let me know below. I’m thinking of blending some home made bacon in there too....

19.01.2022 There are many who believe that there is an overreliance on gadgets and technology in BBQ. One of the Pitmasters pushing for a return to traditional ways of preparing barbecue is David Ong, from Pitmaster University. As well known for BBQ as he is for his long Facebook posts, David has been a part of the Australian Barbeque scene since Day 1, and was even awarded the first ever Australasian Barbecue Alliance Personality of the Year Award. Since then, he’s started a YouTube ch...annel that’s garnered millions of views (if you haven't seen his Crispy Pork Belly Recipe you haven't lived), and now heads up Pitmaster University, a BBQ school based in Perth, Western Australia, teaching traditional Texas BBQ to those who want to learn how to make barbeque at home. In this Episode of the Smoking Hot Confessions BBQ Podcast, we get into: How Ongy nearly burnt his house down using a Weber Kettle (10:50) The likelihood that Ongy is a serial killer (13:11) How he got involved with KCBS in Australia (23:55) When and how Pitmaster University came about (30:16) How you can best use your five senses when cooking barbeque in your backyard (40:22) This Episode of the Smoking Hot Confessions BBQ Podcast is proudly brought to you by our Podcast Partner, Meat N Fire Media Services.

18.01.2022 Hey folks, Drew from Cairns BBQ Company is a long time friend of the show (Ep 98) and he’s looking to add to his team. This is a great opportunity to join a rapidly growing BBQ business in one of the best places in the world!

15.01.2022 How to cook the perfect steak is a question that has haunted one of Australia's leading BBQ Pitmasters, Dane Cowan of Smoke & Steel, and has done for almost as long as he can remember. Starting out in Australasian Barbecue Alliance competition BBQ, it wasn't long before Dane discovered the Steak Cookoff Association and was hooked. He soon dedicated his life to mastering the ribeye steak and has since represented Australia twice in the Steak Cookoff Association World Champions...hips in Texas! If you're familiar with competition BBQ in Australia, you'll know that the Australasian Barbecue Alliance is a low'n'slow competition, using wood-fired smokers. SCA competitions however, use charcoal grills, with two of the most common being the Weber Kettle and the PK Grills. In this episode we not only talk about which Dane thinks is the best charcoal grill, we also get into: How Dane got into barbecue (10:26) His transition into competition barbeque (11:40) Early successes and disasters in competition BBQ (16:42) Representing Australia in Texas (27:20) Tips and Tricks for How to Cook Steak (40:22) This episode of the Smoking Hot Confessions BBQ Podcast is proudly brought to you by our Podcast Partner, JAGRD Wood Fired.

14.01.2022 Rusty from Rustys Food and Barbecue just won the Sunshine Coast’s Best Burger award. Make sure you catch our full interview with him this afternoon from 4pm AEST!

14.01.2022 Guess who's coming to the show this week???

13.01.2022 Did a 6 yr old kid from Perth start the Kerbside Weber trend? Pitmaster University

12.01.2022 ***Podcast Flashback*** A year ago today, we released Ep 72, where we chatted about whole hog with Craig ‘The BBQ Ninja’ Verhage about hunting, cleaning and smoking alligator. It was a blast! Check it out via the link below!

09.01.2022 Hey folks, You'll remember a few weeks ago, we had Jason Linto from BBQ Events Australia on the show. Well, this is one of their competitions and it's important for a couple of reasons. 1. It's a BEA event, so you know it's going to be done well. ... 2. They're running two different competitions at the same time - a Backyard competition and a Master's competition (KCBS Championships Round) 3. It's their last event for the year 4. There haven't been many events this year so if you want to qualify for KCBS team of the year, you need to get on this. So, if you're in WA, love competitions and want to be eligible for TOTY, sign up for this event ASAP before the spots are sold out. Cheers!

07.01.2022 James Grubbs, known simply by his surname as ‘Grubbs’ is known around the world as the ‘Backwoods Grill Billy’ (his words!). You know him as one of the pitmaster contestants on Netflix’s ‘The American Barbecue Showdown’. While he didn’t win, he was definitely one of the most interesting people to watch, and one of my personal favourites. His work on the BBQ was inspiring, fun, and looked delicious! This was easily the best Netflix show I've seen this year, and would have to g...et my vote for best Netflix Series 2020. Given that Thanksgiving is just around the corner in the US, we spend a lot of time talking turkey, turkey brine, and we even get into hunting and processing deer and bear. Yes, bear! In this episode of the Smoking Hot Confessions BBQ Podcast, James and I get into: Grubbs' background in BBQ - 2: 55 Georgian style BBQ - 7:10 Game meats including bear - 16:25 His experience on Netflix - 23:59 Lesson on brining poultry - 50:58 This episode of the Smoking Hot Confessions BBQ Podcast is proudly brought to you by our Podcast Partner, JAGRD Wood Fired.

07.01.2022 Having fun shooting a review video this afternoon for the Grill Gun by Grillblazer. Doing up some Buffalo Wings with some Sweet Meat rub from Deep South East Competition Rubs and One Legged Chicken Buffalo Sauce from Lane’s BBQ. Can’t wait to share the videos with you!

06.01.2022 Apologies folks - we had some technical difficulties with the latest Ep of the podcast. If you've been trying to listen to the Ep on a podcast app, there would have been no sound. That was a mistake on our end which has now been fixed and should update on your app in an hour or so. Thanks for your patience.

06.01.2022 Hey by folks, Indie Pods United is running their People’s Choice Award. If you could throw a vote to SHC, I’d appreciate it!

05.01.2022 Rustys Food and Barbecue hasn't been open long, having launched during, yes during, the COVID lockdowns. However, in these brief few months, Rusty has managed to create something very special. Every night, their venue is filled to the COVID capacity, the crowds are ecstatic with the food and, most importantly are loyal, with the majority of the crowd being repeat customers. So how has Rusty managed to put such a successful BBQ business together in such a short, difficult time...? In this Episode we get into Rusty's journey to where he is now. We start right at the beginning and trace all his steps, and missteps, tracking all the decisions to where he finds himself today. We learn about his introduction to BBQ, his obsession with Weber Kettles, and his jump into and successes with competition BBQ. We look at all of these things with particular attention to how those experiences shaped him into the Pitmaster and BBQ joint owner he is today. This episode is a must listen for anybody who's looking to get more from their passion for meat and fire. Check it out now!

04.01.2022 Admit it - you want his job. I want his job. We all want Kevin's job. Being Head Grill Master at Weber Grills has to be one of the coolest jobs ever dreamt up.
