🍂🔥 AUTUMN IS COMING… BUT THE BBQ ISN’T GOING ANYWHERE! 🔥🍂

Who decided BBQ season ends when the weather gets a bit chilly anyway? 😂

The nights might be getting shorter, the temperature might be dropping and the leaves might be starting to turn…

But there’s still plenty of BBQ to be had! 🔥

In fact, there’s something pretty good about an autumn BBQ.

🔥 No melting in the summer heat
🥩 Plenty of time for a proper low & slow
🍂 That crisp autumn air
🔥 And obviously… an excuse to get the BBQ fired up!

So don’t pack the BBQ away just yet.

Autumn BBQs hit different. 🍂🔥

Grab the charcoal, get the smoker going and keep the flavour coming all year round.

🇬🇧🌾 BACK BRITISH FARMING DAY 🌾🇬🇧

Today is Back British Farming Day, and this one means a little more to us at Smokewood Shack.

Before Smokewood Shack, Ben spent his whole working life in farming. 🚜

Farming isn’t just something we’ve watched from the sidelines — it’s been a huge part of his life, and it’s given him a real appreciation for the people who work incredibly hard to produce the food that ends up on our plates.

And although the business has now taken a slightly different direction… 🌳🔥

We’ve never moved far away from our roots.

Our charcoal is made right here in Wiltshire from British hardwood, and we’re proud to be producing a British product for British BBQs.

So today, we’re raising a glass — or maybe firing up the BBQ! 😂🔥 — to the farmers who keep this country fed.

Support British farming.
Support British producers.
Support local businesses. 🇬🇧

And most importantly…

BUY BRITISH. BBQ BRITISH. 🇬🇧🔥

THE ART OF RESTING 🥩

You’ve spent hours getting that brisket, ribs or pork just right…

DON’T RUIN IT BY CUTTING INTO IT TOO SOON! 😂

Resting your meat is one of the easiest ways to improve the final result.

🔥 Why rest?
It gives the juices time to redistribute through the meat, helping keep it moist, tender and packed with flavour.

⏱️ As a rough guide:
🥩 Smaller cuts — 10–15 mins
🍖 Larger cuts — 20–30+ mins
🔥 Brisket — give it plenty of time!

💡 Top tip: If you’re wrapping your meat, don’t wrap it so tightly that it steams. A loose tent lets it rest without turning that beautiful bark soggy.

The hardest part of BBQ?

Waiting to eat it. 😂🔥

THE PERFECT BBQ TEMPERATURE 🌡️

Stop guessing. Start cooking by temperature! 👇

One of the easiest ways to improve your BBQ is to stop relying on “it looks about right” and start paying attention to your temperature.

🔥 HIGH HEAT — 200–260°C
Perfect for steaks, burgers, sausages and anything that needs a quick sear.

🔥 MEDIUM HEAT — 150–200°C
Great for your everyday BBQ — chicken, pork chops, kebabs and fish.

🔥 LOW & SLOW — 110–150°C
For those long cooks where patience pays off — ribs, brisket, pulled pork and big joints.

🌡️ GET YOURSELF A GOOD THERMOMETER
Your BBQ’s lid thermometer gives you a useful guide, but the temperature at the cooking grate can be different. For really consistent results, know what’s happening where the food is actually cooking.

💨 CONTROL THE AIRFLOW
More air = hotter fire.
Less air = cooler fire.

🔥 LET THE CHARCOAL SETTLE
Don’t throw the meat on the second the charcoal catches. Give your BBQ time to reach and stabilise at your target temperature.

And our biggest tip…

KEEP THE LID DOWN! 😂

Every time you lift it, you’re letting heat escape — and then wondering why your temperature has dropped!

Save this one for your next cook. 📌🔥

🔥 SMOKEWOOD SHACK SCHOOL — LESSON #5 🎓🔥

LOW & SLOW 101 🥩💨

There’s a reason BBQ people talk about “low & slow”…

Because sometimes the best BBQ is the BBQ you’re prepared to wait for. 😏🔥

Low & slow cooking is all about keeping your temperature steady and giving the meat time to do its thing.

🌡️ KEEP IT LOW & STEADY
Around 110–135°C (225–275°F) is a great range for low & slow cooking.

⏰ TIME IS YOUR FRIEND
Great BBQ can’t be rushed. The longer cook gives tough cuts time to become tender, juicy and full of flavour.

🌳 USE QUALITY SMOKING WOOD
A good hardwood chunk gives you clean, consistent smoke and that authentic BBQ flavour. Remember — less is often more!

🔥 KEEP IT SIMPLE
Get your fire established, control your airflow, add your smoking wood and let the BBQ do the work.

And PLEASE… stop lifting the lid every 5 minutes. 😂
Every peek is heat escaping!

Perfect for:
🥩 Brisket
🍖 Ribs
🐷 Pulled pork
🍗 Whole chicken

Low temps. Long times. Unreal flavour.
