𝗕𝗕𝗤 𝗧𝗜 𝗣: 𝗖𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗺𝗶𝗰 𝗕𝗕𝗤 𝗰𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗛𝗮𝗰𝗸 ⠀ This is my only complaint about owning a larger BBQ, it takes longer to clean the outside and it's a bit of a labour of love ⠀ Well it was, but not anymore‼️ ⠀ I grabbed my cordless screwdriver, ordered a rotating brush set from Amazon for less than £11 and grabbed the some pink stuff. ⠀ In next to no time (about 30 mins), I had a fully restored KamadoJoe Big Joe all nice , clean and shiny. Now i’ll try and keep it clean..... But life happens, so this is great to hack for a quick clean. ⠀ Run your drill/screwdriver on a low speed otherwise the pink stuff will go everywhere and it’ll take you ages to clean that off everything 😉 ⠀ 𝗜𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗮 𝘂𝘀𝗲𝗳𝘂𝗹 𝗹𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗖𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗺𝗶𝗰 𝗕𝗕𝗤 𝗢𝘄𝗻𝗲𝗿𝘀❓ ⠀ 🔥🔥🔥 ⠀ 🔔Turn on notifications (𝗦𝗧𝗢𝗣 𝗺𝗶𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗽𝗼𝘀𝘁𝘀) ⠀ 𝗚𝗿𝗶𝗹𝗹: @kamadojoe Big Joe 2 𝗗𝗿𝗶𝗹𝗹: @makitauk 𝗕𝗿𝘂𝘀𝗵 𝘀𝗲𝘁: Amazon 𝗖𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗻𝗲𝗿: @cleanwithpinkstuff ⠀ If you’ve enjoyed this cook follow me: @grate_smokin ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ #bbqtipsuk #bbqtipsandtricks #bbqcleaning #bbqhacks #bbqhack #kamadojoebigjoe #kjbigjoe #bbqfoodies #eaaaaats #bbqskills #bbqclick #bbqlifestyle #barbecuetips #barbecuehack #grate_smokin

Final construction day Really pleased with all the work the team have put in. So from a construction point of view, the shack and shed is now complete. The sparks is onsite tomorrow to connect up the lighting and power. A few things will go in after the power is connected like fridge and freezer. We had a last minute challenge to overcome how to prop open the hatch and allow for the hatch to close properly. I cannot wait to fire up. What do you think now the main construction is complete❓ #bbqshacks #bbqshackbuild #gardenbbqarea #gardenbbqideas #bbqproject #myshacklifestyle #myshackgarden #myshack #grate_smokin

Day - 6 more progress today Now we have roofing 👌🏻👌🏻 The roofing will work well on a brighter days. The floor will be screeded tomorrow and the front panel will be completed. Over the weekend, I’ll install the racking in the shed area and get some of the things back into their new home. Josie, the Kamadojoe Big Joe will be moved in on Monday. There will still be some fitting out internally to do. But starting to see the end of the project emerging from the mist. I’ve decided on a glass fronted beer fridge and we’ll have the small chest freezer moving down once power is connected (due 19th Nov). Getting excited about christening the shack really soon. What are you thinking, what would you add at this stage❓ #shacklifestyle #bbqshacks #bbqshackbuild #bbqshackproject #ukbbqscene #ukwinterbbq #winterbbquk #ukbarbecue #bbqshacklife #canseetheend #barbecueshack #grate_smokin

Shack Build Day - 5 Today, the shack started to come alive. The shed was manufactured by the team off-site yesterday. Today, many of the panels were put in place. The armoured cable which will supply to power and lighting is in place, ready for when the sparks is on site 19th Nov. More panels will be installed tomorrow. The final decisions about the storage will be made tomorrow. The floor will be screeded with self-levelling compound for the smooth movement of the Big Joe. It’s beginning to look a lot more shack like. What do you think so far❓❓ 🔥🔥🔥 #bbqshacks #bbqshackbuild #bbqshackproject #ukbbqscene #ukwinterbbq #winterbbquk #ukbarbecue #adaptandovercome💪 #bbqshacklife #grate_smokin

Day - 4 Grate Smokin HQ As expected today we have the base of the shack and shed being poured. All mixed by hand and levelled. Day off tomorrow for the team, so there won’t be a progress update while the concrete cures. This is the first time you can appreciate the actual size, I should get plenty of usable cooking and storage space. So important when you have lots of cooking options, like the sloroller, Joetisserie, DoJoe, cast iron grate and deflectors etc. We’ve been thinking about the remainder of the project to level the remaining part of the garden to turn it into usable space, rather than the steep slope it is at the moment. We’re close to finalising the plan, which will take place after the main part of the project is complete. Great to see it starting to come out of the mist 🔥🔥🔥 #bbqshacks #bbqshackbuild #bbqshackproject #ukbbqscene #ukwinterbbq #winterbbquk #ukbarbecue #adaptandovercome💪 #bbqshacklife #grate_smokin

Shack Build Day 3 After a bit of last minute tweaking we have panels up, giving us privacy and will tie the garden together with the shack. It might not be visible, but we have a 3mm gap between each wooden slats. The shuttering is almost complete, a bit more digging required before the slab pour takes place on Monday. I’m planning lighting, which will be two 4 or 5ft fluorescent workshops strip lights in the shack section, to provide enough working/functional light (IP65) rated there will be a separate light for the shed. After looking at the potential footprint of the shed, the fridge and freezer will move into the shack, as they take up too much space in the new shed. I am also planning rack out as much as the shed as possible and use clear plastic watertight boxes for storage. Sparks is booked for 19th Nov.

Shack build Day 2 We’ve found rocks, stones and tarmac. Unfortunately, no treasure or roman antiques or coins. The team have cracked on with the ground work fuelled by tea and biscuits. We’ll have to get some bacon butties on the go next week 👌🏻👌🏻 Shuttering going on tomorrow. Ready for the concrete pour on Monday. 👌🏻👌🏻 Sparks booked and a high-level plan has been hatched power and lighting. Any recommendations for suitable shack lighting for cooking and photography ❓I need functional light not pretty fairy lights 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 🔥🔥🔥 #bbqshacklife #shackbuild #shackbuilding #gardenproject2021 #shacklifestyle #ukbbqscene #ukwinterbbq #bbqobsession #bbqobsessed #grate_smokin

Shack Build build. -1 day Tomorrow, the shack build will start. I’ll be pretty quiet over socials with no cooking. Here is brief overview of how things look before we start, a high-level plan landscaping. Just to be clear, I’m not building the shack, I’ll be involved in the fit out once built. It will have both power and functional lighting. It should have storage and work space for prep and photo’s. We are really excited to get this project underway. 🔥🔥🔥 #bbqshacks #bbqshackbuild #bbqshackproject #ukbbqscene #ukwinterbbq #winterbbquk #ukbarbecue #adaptandovercome💪 #bbqshacklife #grate_smokin

These have been on my to-do list for a while now. I pleased to make them for day 4 of UKBBQWEEK Two offerings this evening, chicken lollipops and bacon wrapped thighs. Which ones do you fancy? Chicken lollipops where french trimmed, with a very liberal dusting of A&O Feather Duster rub. The chicken thighs had A&O Feather Duster rub applied both sides, pork sausage in the centre, with two types of grate cheese, then wrapped in smoked bacon, with more rub dusted over. Cooked indirect at 170-180°c, with deflector plates on in the Kamadojoe Big Joe, over Green Olivewood pro she oak lumpwood. Probed and removed at 80°c internal temp. Two chucks of hickory wood and a chunk of cherrywood for colour and flavour. The chicken, sausage and bacon was from my local butchers tender cut butchers. Both were glazed or dunked in a combination of Tennesse Red BBQ glaze mixed with Bullseye Smokey Chipotle BBQ sauce. Served up with air fried chips dusted with A&O want fries with that rub. Chicken lollipops or bacon wrapped chicken thighs❓ 🔥🔥🔥 🔔Turn on notifications Cook and 📸 by @grate_smokin 𝗕𝗕𝗤: Kamadojoe Big Joe 2 𝗥𝘂𝗯: @angusandoink 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗰𝗼𝗮𝗹: @greenolivefirewood 𝗦𝗮𝘂𝗰𝗲: @bullseyebbq @blueshognation 𝗧𝗲𝗺𝗽: @Thermapen If you’ve enjoyed this cook follow me: @grate_smokin #bbqchickenlollipops #bbqchickenlovers #bbqchickenporn #bbqfoodies #kamadojoebigjoe #baconwrappedchickenthighs #bbqchickenthighs #ukbbqweek #ukbbqweek2021 #grate_smokin
