About this listen

In the last episode, we stepped inside NZ BBQ competitions. This time, we break down what actually matters for backyard cooks.


What do competitions get right? Planning, fire management, cooking with intention — discipline over expensive gear. But they can also overcomplicate things, chasing perfect appearance and cooking for judges instead of people.


I talk through what’s worth learning from competition BBQ, what you can ignore at home, and how to apply the right lessons without losing the enjoyment of cooking.

Because most of us aren’t chasing trophies — we’re chasing better cooks, fewer mistakes, and food that brings people together.


Competition BBQ is useful — but only if you steal the right parts.
