Really well made, great to see a quality Australian product, made in Australia, from Australian materials. Easy to use, looks great in the BBQ area at home.

🐖🔥ROAST PORK🔥🐖
Sometimes, its nice to go back to your roots, ans lock it old-school on the @weberbbqausnz Kettle.
A 6kg roast pork on a Monday night, cooked indirect 230deg with @fyrocharcoal pillows – perfect heat the whole way through.
Sensational.
🪞🔥 REFLECTION 🔥🪞
Most people wait for New Year’s to reflect on the year that was, and set goals for the year ahead.
But I’ve never really been wired that way… I’m a big believer in being the catalyst whenever it’s needed; not just when the calendar says so. ⚡️
That said… this year feels different.
It marks 5 years officially running this business, after spending two years before that strategising, researching, designing, prototyping, and building from the ground up. 🛠️📐
Creating an e-commerce business that relies solely on the design and manufacture of Handmade Artisan Goods isn’t easy.
Not to create… not to deliver… and definitely not to scale.
But through God’s grace 🙏 we’ve done exactly that and we’re still growing.
Hundreds… and now thousands of customers and products across Australia & NZ (and parts of the world) cooking on our La Parrilla, using our handmade knives, leather goods, and fire tools. 🔥🔪
I’m grateful beyond words for the relationships, collaborations, friendships, trips, and moments this brand has brought into our lives. 🤝🌍❤️
And, even more grateful that it’s allowed me to bring my family along for the ride, showing them a whole new world around fire, food, and craft. 👨👩👧👦🔥🍷
2026 is the next phase.
Who knows what it will bring… but here’s a small snapshot of what the last year looked like. 🎥✨
If you’re into fire cooking, good food, good wine, and the craft behind it all… reach out.
Your messages, requests and questions are always welcome. 🤍

🔥PERFECT PARRILLA🔥
There’s something pretty special about seeing where our handmade products end up.
Grateful for Paul from @brandstolife who brought his vision to life, Coastal Latin Vibes, built-in La Parrilla, breezeblocks, woodstack, and servery window. 🔥🔥🔥
🎣🌊SEA TO PLATE 🌊🎣
There’s something pretty special about watching your kid land a feed… and then turning it into dinner.
Xman put in the work and pulled a handful of beautiful whiting from the surf — and even though there was no time for fire this week (back to the real world 😅), we still made it count.
🔥 The Cook-Up:
Whole whiting, stuffed with fresh aromatics — parsley + chives 🌿
Then basted the whole way through with salted butter + dill 🧈🌱
Cooked hot and fast on the Weber, skins crisping up just right and that butter soaking in.
Served simply… because when the fish is this fresh, you don’t need much more.
🍷 And to wash it down? A gorgeous bottle of 2025 Resonance Semillon from @onetonneofgrapes — clean, bright, and the perfect match for a salty, buttery seafood feed.
These are the moments I want more of…
Less rush. More outside. More cooking what we catch.

🍖🔥 WOODFIRED GLAZED HAM 🔥🍖
There’s something about a glazed ham coming out of a woodfire oven that just feels right: smoky edges, sticky sweetness, and that deep caramelised finish.
This one was cooked low and slow in the woodfire oven, then glazed hard to get that glossy, bubbling lacquer 🔥
Finished with 🍊 orange slices and 🍒 pitted black cherries for that proper festive look.
And the secret weapon? 🥃🔥
3 shots of @drinkslowandlow rye whiskey stirred through the glaze for that extra depth and a little fire-kissed sweetness.
Here’s the recipe/process 👇
⸻
🍯 WOODFIRE BROWN SUGAR + RYE GLAZE (MY WAY)
🧂 Ingredients
• 1 whole leg ham (bone-in or boneless)
• 🍯 1 cup brown sugar
• 🧈 100g butter
• 🍯 1/3 cup honey
• 🍏 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
• 🌿 2 tsp Dijon mustard
• 🥃 3 shots smoked rye whiskey
• 🌶️ 1/2 tsp cinnamon (optional but great)
• 🌿 Pinch of cloves or allspice (optional)
• 🍊 Orange slices (to decorate)
• 🍒 Pitted black cherries (to decorate)
⸻
🔥 METHOD (WOODFIRE OVEN)
1️⃣ Heat your woodfire oven to around 150–160°C (steady, not raging).
2️⃣ Score the ham in a criss-cross diamond pattern (don’t go too deep).
3️⃣ Bake the ham uncovered for around 1.5–2 hours, basting occasionally with pan juices.
4️⃣ Make the glaze:
In a saucepan melt butter, then stir in brown sugar, honey, vinegar and mustard. Simmer gently for 3–5 minutes until thick and syrupy.
5️⃣ Add the rye:
Take the glaze off the heat and stir through 3 shots of smoked rye whiskey 🥃🔥
6️⃣ Glaze it hard:
Brush glaze all over the ham, then return it to the oven at a higher heat (200–220°C) for 10–15 minutes.
7️⃣ Repeat glazing 2–3 times until it’s sticky, shiny, and slightly blistered.
8️⃣ Decorate with orange slices + pitted cherries, then give it one final hit of heat to set it all in place.
9️⃣ Rest 15 minutes, slice, and watch it disappear 🍖🔥
⸻
Smoky edges. Sticky glaze. Fire-kissed fruit.
And that rye running through it all… pure festive magic 🎄🥃

🍷🔒 WINE & HISTORY 🔒🍷
Had the privilege of sharing a glass with a dear friend in his private cellar @pentridgecellars — an experience that’s hard to put into words.
We opened a 2013 @frogmorecreek Reserve Chardonnay, a wine that’s aged beautifully — deep golden hue, balanced acidity, and those incredible toasted nutty notes that linger. 🥂
There’s something surreal about sitting within the cold bluestone walls of a place that once held so much history. Pentridge is eerie… yet peaceful.
A reminder of time, patience, and transformation, much like a good bottle of wine.
