Once upon a lockdown, furloughed estate agent Ben, a rather plump fellow, found himself facing a fridge that called his name a bit too often. With nothing but time and a growing appetite, Ben transformed his kitchen into a smokehouse, to the delight (and slight despair) of his family.

As the smoke cleared and with the weight off of his shoulders it was clear Ben’s cooking was more than a hobby; it was a calling. Fed up with the corporate jungle, Ben swapped his suit for an apron and created SMOKED BBQ, aiming to bring joy through perfectly smoked BBQ that makes you want to slap your knee and thank the heavens.
