Myth: Basting keeps your roast juicy.

Truth: Every time you open the oven to baste, you’re letting out heat and moisture, and that’s the juiciness escaping. Basting only makes the surface look nice. It does nothing to keep the inside tender.

Our tip? Pick a nice bit of meat with a good fat cover that’ll baste itself. Keep the door shut, hold a steady temperature, and let it do its thing.

Next time you’re roasting, think of that.

Meet Sean — the Irish Egg

We’ve been working with this fella for a while, and we can’t recommend him enough. Sean runs the best barbecue day courses around — so if you want to up your BBQ game, he’s your man.

Great teacher, great company, and he sources his meat from local butchers 😉

Thinking about smoking your first brisket?

This flat brisket is ideal for the smoker — packed with flavour and perfect for feeding a crowd. But if you’re just getting started, we’d actually recommend trying short ribs first. They’re more forgiving, easier to cook, and still deliver incredible results.

Briskets aren’t cheap, so you want to get the most out of them 👌

If you’re planning a summer smoke-up, get in touch to reserve yours early — we don’t always have brisket and short ribs available in stock.

Everyone wants to throw a brisket on the smoker… but don’t run before you can walk.

Brisket is one of the hardest cuts to get right, so start with something more forgiving like a Jacob’s Ladder. More fat, more marbling, more flavour — and a much easier cook.

Trimmed right, leave enough fat for that crispy finish, and let the smoker do the work.
