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.

🔥🥪 KING GEORGE 🥪🔥
I’ve got a bit of a secret weakness…
A legit deli sandwich Panini or Focaccia. Lightly Toasted. Packed with deli meat and condiment goodness. Slightly too big to eat properly.
This one… affectionately known as the “King George” from @localpickler at @goingtogracelands Providore.
Simple things done properly – perfect bread from @sonomabakery , great fillings, pressed hot, eaten wherever you can find a seat… or in this case, the driver’s seat on the way to sports
🔥🥪

🇹🇷🔥 TURKUAZ 🔥🇹🇷
@turkuaz_enmore was an epic experience. Proper, home-grown Turkish.
The bread is baked in-house.
The dips are all made from scratch, simple and beautiful.
The Beyti is their hero dish. Sensational. Charred over coals.
Same with the shish skewers, cooked properly, over coal, the way it should be.
Finished it off with a Turkish coffee.
Inner West doing what it does best.

🥖🥐LOCAL GEM 🥐🥖
Tucked away quietly, @goingtogracelands Providore is one of those beautiful little hole-in-the-wall delis that just gets it right.
Handmade pickles.
Stone fruit jams.
House-made granola.
Homemade Ruebens & Sandwhiches
Banana bread still warm with salted butter.
Proper pastries.
And fresh bread from @sonomabakery 🥖 — because if you’re going to do bread, you do it well.
Run by the beautiful Lydia, she is creating something special for the community.
Open Thursday to Saturday mornings, it’s genuinely beautiful to see our locals thriving and creating spaces that celebrate good food and community. These are the places that shape neighbourhoods.
Support local. Buy the good bread. Grab the jam. Stay for the conversation. ☕️✨

⚒️🔥 SECOND LIFE 🔥⚒️
There’s something special about a blade that’s already lived a life.
This vintage beauty was generously gifted to me by Maggie @slow_folk — and from the moment I held it, I knew it had stories in it.
Massive 13.5in blade
Carbon steel.
Heavy. Honest.
Worn from years of real use.
You can see the patina, the marks, the evidence of meals cooked and hands that worked before mine.
Now it’s my turn.
I’ll be restoring this blade, cleaning it up, bringing the edge back, conditioning the handle, and giving it the respect it deserves. Not to make it new… but to make it ready for its next chapter.
There’s something deeply satisfying about bringing old tools back to life. Especially ones that were built properly to begin with.
Thank you Maggie🙏🏼🔥

🔥🔥 SOMETHING’S COOKING 🔥🔥
For a long time, Smokin’ Gauchos has been about more than just grills, knives, or fire tools.
It’s about community.
Craft.
Experience.
And the kind of people who feel at home around a real fire.
We’ve been building something quietly in the background.
Not a product.
Not a sale.
Something bigger.
If you’ve ever felt connected to what we do…
If you’ve followed the journey, cooked on the Parrilla, shared a bottle of red beside the embers…
And you’re curious about being a little closer to the brand…

🍷✨UPSTAIRS WINES✨🍷
Last night we headed to the opening of @upstairswines in Green Point… and what a welcome addition to the coast.
Warm lighting, timber everywhere, bottles lining the walls, and that buzz you only get when good wine and good people collide.
Our wine highlights:
🍷 Château Maucoil 2020 Châteauneuf-du-Pape
🇪🇸 Rioja Vega “Venta Jalón” 2016 Reserva Especial
And the gorgeous Vermentino!
And the food… 👌
Incredible sharing boards layered with:
🐟 Tinned fish
🦆 Duck terrine
🥖 Pâté & fresh bread
🥒 Pickled veg
🧀 Cheeses and Beautiful little bites designed for passing, pouring and staying a little longer than planned.
It’s the kind of place where you start with “just one” and end up working your way through the list.
The Coast needed this.
A proper neighbourhood wine bar.
Great producers.
Thoughtful food.
Zero pretence.
We’ll be back 🍷 @upstairswines
& thankyou @mikeyzeee for being a great host!

🔥🏔️SECRET PROJECT🏔️🔥
Every now and then a project lands in our lap that stops us in our tracks.
This one… is heading into one of the Top 100 wineries in Australia. 🍷
And for now, that’s all we can say.
Inspired by the great @francismallmann , we’ve built a 1.6m diameter, 2.4m high dome, a true centrepiece.
Topped with a 3mm solid copper roof that will slowly patina over time, telling its own story through fire, smoke and seasons. 🧡🔥
Alongside it:
🔥 A brand new custom “Coal Station” — a heavy-duty standalone brasero, purpose-built to run a large, constant wood fire. Its sole job? Producing perfect embers on demand to feed the grills.
🔥🔥 And 3x small drum grill / parrillas — stainless steel drums, integrated wood stacks, and precision grill mechanisms. Built tough. Built beautiful. Built to perform.
This wasn’t just fabrication.
It was engineering.
It was artistry.
It was trust.
Seeing these pieces leave the workshop knowing where they’re headed… that’s something special.
We can’t wait to share more as this project comes to life over the coming months.
Big things. Real fire. Proper craftsmanship. 🔥

🍷🔥CELLAR CONTROL🔥🍷
You know it’s time…
When you go to grab a bottle and realise your “little collection” has quietly turned into a full-blown operation 😅
So what do you do?
You call in the professionals.
A couple of Sommelier mates @mrs.mikaela.poole and @kyle_poole graciously offered to come over and help organise the chaos. Bottles sorted, vintages grouped, regions aligned, drinking windows discussed… proper cellar therapy 🍇📚
In return?
I fired up a woodfired seafood, chicken & chorizo paella on the Parrilla.🥘🔥
Prawns, clams, chicken, chorizo, saffron stock, home made seafood stock, lemon wedges… cooked low and slow over flame while they debated what we’d open.
The chosen match for the paella:
🍷 @chateaumontredon Château Mont-Redon 2007 Châteauneuf-du-Pape
And while we were at it, we also opened:
• 🥂 Champagne Pascal Agrapart “Minéral” Extra Brut Blanc de Blancs @domainepascalagrapart
• 🍏 Felton Road Bannockburn Chardonnay 2024 (Central Otago)
• 🍯 Domaine des Bernardins Muscat de Beaumes-de-Venise 2018
From Champagne to Rhône to Central Otago to Southern France… not a bad way to “organise” a cellar 😏
Good friends.
Serious bottles.
Woodfire cooking.
Sometimes the best way to restore order… is to open a few corks. 🍾🔥

🔥🦘 HOT & FAST 🦘SKEWERS 🦘🔥
This one’s all about heat, restraint, and respect for the meat.
Kangaroo loves it hot and fast, cooked medium rare, rested briefly, and served simply.
Cooked over open flame on La Parrilla, these skewers pair lean roo with sweet roasted beetroot, native spices, and a subtle citrus lift. Nothing more needed.
⸻
🔥 Kangaroo & Roast Beetroot Skewers (Hot & Fast)
Ingredients
– Kangaroo loin or backstrap, cut into large chunks
– Cooked & cooled roast beetroot, cut into wedges
– Extra virgin olive oil
– Native pepperberry, crushed
– Saltbush, ground
– Sea salt
– Fresh rocket (to serve)
– Dehydrated orange slices (to finish)
⸻
Method:
1) Prep the Skewers
Thread kangaroo and roast beetroot alternately onto skewers. Keep pieces chunky to protect the meat from overcooking.
2) Season Simply:
Lightly coat with olive oil. Season generously with crushed pepperberry, saltbush, and a pinch of sea salt. That’s it.
3) Fire Setup:
Build a hot fire on La Parrilla — clean coals, high heat, no smoke. This is about sear, not slow cooking.
4) Cook Hot & Fast:
Place skewers directly over the heat.
Sear hard for 60–90 seconds per side, turning often.
You’re chasing a deep char outside and medium rare inside.
5) Rest:
Pull the skewers and rest for 2–3 minutes only. Kangaroo doesn’t need more.
6) Serve:
Lay over fresh rocket, finish with dehydrated orange for brightness, and serve immediately.
⸻
🔥 Fire Note
Kangaroo is ultra-lean — overcook it and you lose everything. High heat, fast cook, minimal handling. Trust the fire.

🍷🔥 WINE, FOOD & GOOD COMPANY 🔥🍷
Last night was one of those nights you wish you could bottle.
An intimate wine dinner hosted by the legends at @goingtogracelands , surrounded by incredible people, beautiful food, and some truly special bottles pulled from deep cellars.
From old-world classics to iconic Australian producers, the lineup was nothing short of exceptional — wines with age, stories, and serious presence. Shared slowly, thoughtfully, and exactly how they’re meant to be enjoyed.
The space, the table, the atmosphere… understated, warm, and intentional. Candles flickering, plates cleared, glasses refilled, conversations stretching long into the night. No rush. No noise. Just appreciation for craftsmanship in wine, in food, and in hospitality.
These are the moments that remind you why we do what we do.
Good wine. Good people. Around a table. 🍷🤍
Huge thanks to @goingtogracelands for hosting such a memorable evening, already looking forward to the next one.

🔥🍷 WOODFIRE PÂTÉ🍷🔥
Had a quiet afternoon in the kitchen and decided to make one of my all-time favourites: chicken liver pâte.
There’s something timeless about building flavour from simple ingredients, slow cooking over gentle heat, and finishing smooth like silk.
This version comes straight from the classic method, with onions, garlic, capers, thyme, butter, cream and cognac; cooked low and slow, blended, and left to rest until luscious. 🥄✨
Here’s how it all came together 👇
⸻
🍗 CHICKEN LIVER PÂTÉ — WOODFIRE STYLE
🧾 Ingredients:
– 500g chicken livers (trimmed & cleaned)
– 1 small onion, finely chopped
– 2 garlic cloves, minced
– 2–3 sprigs thyme
– 2–3 bay leaves
– 50g butter
– 2 tbsp cognac or brandy
– Salt & black pepper to taste
– Baguette or toast to serve
⸻
🔥 Method:
1️⃣ Sauté aromatics:
Heat butter in a pan. Add onions and cook gently until soft and sweet. Add garlic, cook another minute.
2️⃣ Brown the livers:
Add chicken livers to the pan, sear lightly until just cooked — still pink inside. Don’t overcook or it goes grainy.
3️⃣ Deglaze & flavour:
Pour in the cognac/brandy, let it flame off (or simmer) to lift all those juices. Stir in bay leaves and thyme.
4️⃣ Blend to smooth:
Remove bay leaves. Tip everything into a food processor. Pulse until smooth and silky. Season with salt + pepper.
5️⃣ Chill & set:
Spoon into a bowl or ramekins, chill until firm.
6️⃣ Serve:
Drizzle a little melted butter or olive oil over the top, leave to set in fridge, then scoop with crusty bread, crackers or toast.
⸻
Peaty, rich, buttery — this pâté hits all the right notes with a glass of something bold. Perfect start to any fire-centric feast. 🍷🔥

🍑🔥 WOODFIRED PEACHES 🔥🍑

🥛 fresh cream
🍯 honeycomb crunch
🤍 shaved white chocolate

⸻
🍑🔥 PAN WOODFIRED PEACHES (BROWN SUGAR BUTTER)
Serves: 2–4
Cook time: 10–15 mins
🧾 INGREDIENTS
Peaches
– 4–6 ripe peaches (halved, stone removed)
– 60g butter
– 3–4 tbsp brown sugar
– Pinch of sea salt
To serve
– Lemon myrtle meringue (store bought or homemade)
– ½ cup macadamias (crushed)
– Fresh cream (or whipped cream)
– Honeycomb (fresh)
– White chocolate (shaved)
– Rosemary flowers (or tiny rosemary tips)
⸻
🔥 METHOD
1️⃣ Get the fire right
You want a steady bed of coals and medium heat. (Pan hot, not nuclear.)
2️⃣ Start the caramel
Add butter to an @solidteknics pan. Once foaming, stir in brown sugar + pinch of salt. Let it melt into a glossy caramel. Or, add peaches (see below, and slowly add brown sugar)
3️⃣ Peaches cut side down
Place peaches cut-side down into the pan. Let them sit and caramelise 3–5 mins without moving.
4️⃣ Baste + soften
Flip peaches and spoon that brown sugar butter over the top. Cook another 3–5 mins until soft but still holding shape.
5️⃣ Plate it up
Spoon peaches + caramel over the plate.
6️⃣ Finish like a weapon
Top with:
• Lemon myrtle meringue
• Fresh cream
• Crushed macadamia
• Honeycomb
• Shaved white chocolate
• Rosemary flowers
⸻
🔥 PRO TIP
If the caramel starts to tighten up, add 1 tbsp water or a splash of cream and stir it back to silky
