So this is going to be interesting, I was up in the Coromandel on holiday having a couple of Lion Reds as you do over New Year’s…..I was putting pen to paper to come up with some new ideas recipes that are not the normal and this is one I came up with, salted caramel flavoured bacon it’s been curing for 1 day so far the colour is quite a bit different so I’m looking forward to the finished product to see how it comes out.

Busy day today, we’ve got a couple of functions on we’re catering for . This was lunch we served up for a birthday in Matapihi .

Thanks to everyone that made our Fathers Day BBQ Class yesterday such an awesome day. It was a great day and a huge amount of fresh cooked bbq food , refereshments and a few laughs. We loved meeting many of you and great see a few of you back at our bbq class again. As we said yesterday for us bbq is about great food and great people getting together to share and enjoy an afternoon together and learning a few secrets of Big Smoke BBQ along the way, Our next BBQ Class is on Sunday 20th October 2024 and due to how busy we are in the catering side, this maybe the last one for 2024. Book direct on our The Big Smoke BBQ Co website through our Shop where you can also buy our rubs and sauces. See link in comments for class bookings. Our new Limited Edition Wingman Cajun Rub coming soon too!!
