🔥 UPDATE — SEPTEMBER and OCTOBER MASTERCLASSES🔥

Our Saturday 12th September and Saturday 17th October have two spots left each.

👇 Full class details below 👇

These classes cover everything from meat selection and trimming, fire control, charcoal and wood, the cook, cutting, serving, and plenty of tips and tricks to help upskill your BBQ game.

You’ll be served a six-course barbecue meal during the day, and we’ll demonstrate the trim and cook of each protein before serving. No one leaves hungry.

We’re also excited to announce that Swift Meats NZ is now on board as our class pork rib sponsor. Their big, meaty ribs always hit the mark and are what we’ve used for our classes and catering for a long time.

The class will include:

👉 Chicken nibbles & smoked chorizo
👉 Reverse-seared steaks with chimichurri
👉 St. Louis pork ribs
👉 Sliced smoked brisket
👉 Pulled pork tacos
👉 A classic American dessert to finish

A range of smokers will be fired up during the day, including an Oklahoma Joe Bronco, Traeger Ironwood XL, and our massive offset smoker.

Alcoholic and other drinks will be available to purchase during the day.

Tickets are live now. Book through the link below.

Thanks to everyone who stopped by the stand today, we really appreciate it.

We love these shows. It’s a great chance to catch up with old customers, meet plenty of new ones, have a few good chats and share cooking ideas.

And of course… there were a few truck chats.

Great weekend.

🔥 Big day for Black Dog BBQ 🔥

Picked up the new Hiace van from R&B + King Toyota. Thanks Chris.

We never thought our little weekend BBQ business would take us to this point.

A massive thank you to all our customers. You keep us motivated, keep us grinding and keep pushing us to be the best we can.

We genuinely couldn’t do it without you.

Cheers 👊

What an awesome way to spend a Saturday afternoon and evening. Whole Hog experience with Rodney Scott for Visa Wellington On a Plate

Such a privilege that Rodney wanted to check out our truck. He’s got a ’55 Chevy Pickup.

Stacey Harte came down to attend the event and ended up cooking with Rodney and the crew. So stoked for you, brother.

Got to catch up with mates at the event and really good to catch up with Shaun and Alia from Shaun | Black Label Barbecue

Massive hats off to the team at Boneface Brewing Co and all involved.
This was a special event.

Feeding 240 people an amazing whole hog meal in 40 minutes is 🔥
