In this first episode of Low & Slow Aotearoa, I’m setting the tone for what this podcast is all about — slow food, real smoke, and the backyard way of doing things here in New Zealand.

I’m not a pitmaster or a professional. I’m just an average backyard smoker who’s learned a lot through trial, error, and a few long cooks that didn’t go to plan.

This podcast is about sharing those lessons, the stories that come with them, and celebrating low and slow cooking the Kiwi way.

If you’re into BBQ, smoking meat, learning as you go, and enjoying the process as much as the result, you’re in the right place.

Pull up a sit, let the fire settle, and enjoy the time.

A taste of what's to come.

Launching Jan 5 2026 with 3 episodes.
