123 Trent Barrett from Smoked BBQ Co

The key principle of entrepreneurship is finding a need, recognising the opportunity and seizing that opportunity. Trent Barrett is one of these people. He and his wife Cassie have just opened the Gold Coast’s first dedicated low’n’slow BBQ store - Smoked BBQ Co. Located in Miami, Smoked BBQ Co is soon to become a familiar haunt for BBQ aficionados from all over South East Queensland. And it’s easy to see why. There’s products to suit every BBQ’ers need, with an unprecedented emphasis on Australian products, including rubs and sauces from all the big Aussie players and the whole suite of incredible woods from Ministry of Smoke.  In this Episode, recorded during the Grand Opening weekend of the store, Trent and I explore what led to the opening of the store, how the process went, what the store has for customers, and what makes it different from the rest of the BBQ stores. We close out the episode with a bit of a lesson from former chef Trent on how backyard BBQers can put on a perfect 5 course BBQ degustation! Check it out now!
