Slim Ricks BBQ School

🔥 It came, it saw, it conquered 🔥 The mighty @leviathanpits 🤘 Been wanting to cook on this ever since it arrived and also been wanting to link up with the lovely guys at @cutthemustardbbq for ages so smashed both in the same day. We opened our doors and just allowed people to follow their noses and see what we’re all about. We went for the flatiron top blade and dino ribs from @idevour.meat and @cutthemustardbbq brought one of their signature beef shins along with some very tasty salts they’re working on. The shin fell apart, the broth was beefy goodness and the combo with the salt was pure 🔥. Felt like we could’ve stayed chatting to Indi & Andy all night as they’re such warm, genuine people. Thanks so much for making the trip. We cooked a load of other stuff but we ended up talking to all the lovely people who came to see us and not getting any other footage. Oh, and because my eldest needed to watch Minecraft build tutorials on YouTube 😂. Really nice for @certifiedbyjay_ to stop by and chat about his new venture. Exciting stuff happening with him too so keep an eye out. Anyone who’s met him knows he puts everything into what he does. Thanks to Travis for helping out, keeping track of the fires and avoiding the washing up 😁. Here’s to a jam packed season of good food, good people and fun times 🤘. If you’re ever at @scottsofsouthendgardencentre and you can smell smoke, it’s usually us 😶‍🌫️. If we’re not hosting a class, come say hi.

This week has been a tough one. We lost my mother in law a few days ago, and it’s been full of sadness for all of us. Marion was a huge part of our lives and the kindest most supportive Mother-in-law I could ever have ask for. 💔 She passed on a Tuesday 24th, my birthday, my 40th, which made it hit even harder. I honestly wasn’t sure I had it in me to face today’s class. But I showed up. And I’m so glad I did. The people who came today lifted me more than they probably realise. Proper good people. The kind you don’t forget. I smashed out an oval shaped smash burger, overcooked the short-ribs a bit, my head was a a bit of a mess tbh, but not one person made me feel anything other than that they were happy to be there and be part of the day. That meant everything. Thank you to everyone who came today and gave me the strength to get up and do what I love. It didn’t go unnoticed ❤️ 🤜🤛 #biglove #bbqcommunity

🔥 When @bigkproductsltd come to play 🔥 Had a lovely catch up with @alexbigk7 at the BBQ School yesterday. Ate some food, talked about coal (naturally) and played some darts. It was awesome to learn about the family history and where it all began. A tight, family run business with a passion for what they do 🔥. Was great catching up with him and testing out some of @bigkproductsltd products. Thanks for visiting mate 🤜🤛. Stocked at @scottsbackyard at @scottsofsouthendgardencentre . #bbq #bbqschool #cooking #outdoors #bbqlife
