Season 3 Episode 2 - Jon Wilson - The Community Cookbook
This week we’re joined by friend of the show and all-round top bloke Jon Wilson, author of the BBQ Community Cookbook — a project that perfectly captures what the UK BBQ scene is all about.
Steve and Dec both feature in the book, so this one feels especially close to home.
We dive into:
Where the idea for the cookbook came from
What made Jon decide to actually go for it
The process of pulling together contributors from across the community
The challenges of turning an idea into a finished book
Why this project is about more than just recipes
This isn’t just another BBQ cookbook — it’s a collaboration that showcases the people behind the grills.
A huge part of this project is giving back.
Jon talks about:
The charities the book supports
Why those causes are important to him
How the BBQ community continues to show up when it matters
It’s proof that live fire cooking can do more than feed people — it can make a real difference.
We also chat about Jon’s journey over the last year:
Starting out with a demo at the Community Cookout
Stepping into the public eye
Building confidence in front of a crowd
Now having multiple demos lined up for this year
It’s a great insight into what happens when you say yes to opportunities and lean into the community.
As always, we catch up on what’s happening across the BBQ scene:
Event updates
Upcoming demos
Community projects
What’s shaping up to be a busy year ahead
The UK BBQ calendar is filling up fast.
Alongside the main interview, we also cover:
What’s inspired us recently
General BBQ ramblings
Honest takes and a few laughs along the way
Because it wouldn’t be From the Shack without it.
If you haven’t already, go check out the BBQ Community Cookbook and support the incredible causes behind it.
Follow us on socials for updates, guest announcements, and event news — and keep the messages coming. We love hearing what you’re cooking.
Next week we’re back with another Shack Bites.
Until then — keep the fire lit 🔥
