A big weekend for the Smokin' Oak team. Catering for a 21st Friday evening with a killer barbecue grazing table, then we hit the Morrinsville Country Market Saturday to share our barbecue with the fine folk of Morrinsville, and finished up catering for the Piako Wine Club Sunday with a brisket and pulled pork buffet.

We're now enjoying a cold beer and reflecting on a great weekend of barbecue. Not long to relax though... we're straight into more work dos this week!! Bring it on!

Hi team,

We are on the hunt for hospitality all rounders to join our team.

We have catering and festival events coming up from November and throughout the summer months so we are looking to put together a pool of casual superstars to help prepare, cook, serve and embrace the art of American style barbecue.

We operate out of the Matamata-Piako District.

If this sounds like you please email your c.v through to [email protected]

Family dinner on the Sportsman Pro Cast Iron Grill. Such a fun little grill to cook on!

As much as we love barbecuing for others, sometimes it's nice to just take it easy and have a little family cookup of our own.

Yesterday we hosted our Barbecue and Butchery Masterclass in Cambridge. Thankfully the weather held out, and we had an awesome day of barbecue with an awesome group of people.

We cooked up a whole lot of barbecue as well as covering off some delicious sides and sauces. Not to mention breaking down a whole lamb and talking knife sharpening and maintenance.

Thanks so much to everyone who came along! We hope you enjoyed the day as much as we did.

Thanks to Hinterland Homekill for the butchery and knife maintenance expertise and JD Distillery for providing the gin and assisting throughout the class.

Thank you to Cambridge Raceway for allowing us to use your awesome venue.

Throwback Thursday!! Here's a rump cap steak we cooked a while back. How good does it look?! Beef rump is an underrated cut we think. It's so full of flavour, and cooked well its as good as any other steak. The cap and tri-tip are two individual cuts from the rump well worth checking out. #steak

Apparently it's international burger day 🍔 So here's a throwback to a yummy burger we made!! #burger #internationalburgerday #lamb #nzfood #nzeats

One thing we wanted to do with our website was to keep some updated videos and blogs going on. To be fair, we've been a bit slack on the video front, but we have done a few little write ups. The latest one is a little insight into our time on Cooks on Fire 🔥 Have a little read! Website link in bio.

We're really looking forward to our class this Sunday! We're going ribs ribs and steak. Pork ribs, lamb ribs, and ribeye steak. On top of that, we're also covering chicken and some butchery tips, as well as some sides and condiments you can enjoy with your barbecue. It's going to be a great afternoon of barbecue!

And just like that, we roll into the end of 2023. When we think back to January, we couldn't have imagined what the year would have held for us. -We launched Smokin' Oak Barbecue, which has just been awesome and is going swimmingly!! -We bought a great big smoker to allow us to feed lots of people. We've named her Lucille and she's quite wonderful. -In partnership with JD Distillary, the Mile Marker 66 Gin has been launched, and we've seen the first commercial pour. Awesome work Jared! We know youve put a lot into that! -We WON Cooks on Fire Season 2 -We've learned A LOT more about food and barbecue -We've continued some awesome friendships and made some new ones A special mention to our friends and families who support us in various ways. It means the world to us! Roll on 2024. We can't wait to see what the next 12 months bring us! Until then, we wish you all a safe and relaxing summer.
