Welcome to the very first Shack Bites — your new midweek hit of BBQ chat.

Shorter, looser, and all about what’s been happening around the fire lately. No big deep dives. No heavy agenda. Just proper BBQ conversation.

In this episode, Steve and Dec dive into:

• The first proper cooks of the year

• What’s been hitting the grill lately

• Any wins, tweaks, or “that actually worked” moments

• What we’re itching to cook next

Early season cooks always hit different — fresh charcoal, longer evenings, and that feeling that BBQ season is officially back.

We chat about:

• Dishes we’ve seen online that we want to try

• Flavours we’re excited about this year

• Any techniques we’re working on improving

• Things we’re keeping simple

This is the episode where we talk honestly about what’s realistic, what’s inspiring us, and what we’re probably overthinking.

A bit of kit chat — but keeping it grounded.

• What we’ve been using recently

• Anything we’ve rediscovered in the shed

• Reminding ourselves that you don’t need loads of fancy gear to cook good food

Skill, fire control, and good ingredients always win.

We talk about that shift in the air — lighter nights, more people cooking outside, events popping up, and the buzz building across the UK BBQ scene.

It’s that time again.

Shack Bites is built around conversation, so we want to hear from you.

• What are you cooking right now?

• What are you struggling with?

• What should we try next?

Drop us a message on socials and we’ll start bringing more of your cooks into future episodes.

Next week we’re back with a full-length episode of From the Shack.

Until then — keep the fire lit 🔥
