We're BBQMate. We live for outdoor cooking, low and slow smoking, fire-lit weekends and everything that comes with the BBQ lifestyle - the gear, the rubs, the sauces, the American apparel, the community around the grill.

This is for people who take their BBQ seriously and want their mates to as well.

The story so far

From the American South,
to a British back garden.

Real BBQ is cooked over fire, not gas. It's low, it's slow, and it's a hundred years of southern American tradition. We're on a mission to bring that culture, that kit and that community to the UK - properly.

  1. 01
    225°F · The Origin
    Texas · Kansas City · Carolina

    American BBQ is patience, smoke and low heat. Brisket for 14 hours, ribs kissed with hickory, pork shoulder that falls apart with two forks. A backyard craft from Austin to Memphis.

  2. 02
    275°F · The Crossing
    Atlantic · via post, pit and pilgrimage

    We've crossed the pond to learn it properly. Trailing pitmasters, hoarding rubs, shipping back offsets. We know why bark matters, why smoke rings form, and why cheap gear will always let you down.

  3. 03
    325°F · The Arrival
    United Kingdom · your back garden

    Now we're bringing it home. Proper kit at proper prices. Rubs and sauces that don't cut corners. A community of British cooks who care about fire, wood and doing it right.

Fire. Wood. Smoke. Time. The four ingredients Americans have known about for a century. Now it's our turn.

Three things,
done properly.
