If you've been following our socials recently you've seen we have been working hard hustling our rubs at events, running masterclasses and catering for some great people. Pretty much every weekend for the last few months.

Well, the out of office is on and the bags are packed(ish) Fingers crossed the wind warning for the region calms the hell down and come Tuesday, I will fly out to Texas with my good mate Stacey Harte for a few weeks of visiting BBQ joints, catching up with people and enjoying
this special place.

I'm unbelievably lucky to be spending some time at InterStellar BBQ while I'm over there. I'm incredibly grateful to John Bates for allow me to come visit.

Add in the Texas Monthy Festival, some Taco spots, BBQ fusion joints and a proper Barbacoa experience and this will be one hell of a good time.

Whilst I really want to capture and share all the places we visit for people thinking of visiting, my aim is to slow down and enjoy every meal and experience.

Thanks to my amazing wife Vicki for holding down the fort.

Wheels up ya'll.

We were back at Petone Rugby Club on Saturday, with 33 people joining us for our BBQ Masterclass.

Focused on education and a six-course BBQ degustation.

On the menu:
👉 Cornbread and Hot Honey on arrival
👉 Chicken Drumsticks & Cameron Harrison Butchery & Delicatessen Smoked Jalapeño & Cheese Sausage.
👉 Reverse Seared Ribeye Steaks with Chimichurri.
👉 Swift St. Louis Pork Ribs.
👉 Sliced Smoked Brisket served with Roast Spuds.
👉 Smoked Pulled Pork Tacos.
👉 Finished with Chocolate Brownie and Whipped Cream.

The day covered all the proteins, from selecting the right cuts and trimming through to fire management, cooking techniques, finishing and serving. Plenty of practical knowledge, good questions and, of course, alot of eating along the way!

The OJ Bronco delivered some fantastic reverse-seared steaks, while the Traeger Grills Ironwood XL turned out some seriously good brined and smoked chicken drumsticks.

A massive thank you to everyone who came along. We appreciate you spending your Saturday with us, supporting what we do and being part of the Black Dog BBQ journey.

A big shout-out to the crew, Vicki, Troy and Ava for helping keep everything running smoothly.

Cheers to Annie and Dave for keeping everyone sorted on the refreshments throughout the day.
