As you all know, steak has been my passion ever since miles’ first day out of hospital after being born where I took 2nd place in my first ever solo SCA. A special mention to Derrick Paull, he has been there for me since that day, and has believed in me and pushed me to keep going ever since. Mate to earn 1st place at your competition, where we started as Ques and Clues 5 years ago was an epic achievement and one ill cherish forever, and I think the hug said it all! Ill never forget our little midnight steak cook on the Saturday night, what a perfect way to thank you for everything that you have done and founding Smoke On The Coast! You leave it in safe hands, and we will be there to help continue the legacy for you!

Right-o! Saturday results!

Huge thanks to Ribs NZ, and Waitoa free range chicken for the premium supplied products.

NZBA
Overall, 5th out of 36 teams! ☺️

Chicken, finally making noise in the top spots, tied 3 ways for 11th (290/300)

Ribs, ran the exact same profile as the day before and got 2nd (297/300) 🥈

Pork, every day working on this one! 3-way dead tie for 4th (298/300)

Brisket, ok this gutted me, and I’m still kicking myself, oh how much different things could have been! I burnt it, I’ll be honest. 22nd (277/300) 🤦

All and all we are super proud of our achievements over the weekend. It was a mammoth task, but we did it! See you at the next one! Roll on Jack N Smoke

And this my friends is fomo all summed up! Steak eggs and chips..

Firstly, congratulations to everyone that cooked their hearts out today over in Fort Worth, Texas for the SCA World championship. You have done us all proud! Good luck to those who made their way into the finals tomorrow!

We Popped onto Mapari Meats yesterday and walked out with this STUNNING scotch fillet and decided It needed the full treatment!

Ran my award winning process on the Weber G.A including being rubbed down with Rum and Que intensify, bulldust and finished with garlic butter

The best damn steak I've eaten in some time! So damn tender and perfectly cooked. Honestly the quality of meat rolling out the doors at Mapari is next level! Get in there and find out what it's all about!

Of course the perfect steak could not be achieved without the help from the Team Bbqwar steak weight and riser, FireBoard NZ keeping a close eye on temps making sure it comes off at the exact right temperature and of course Cutty Sharp Knife Services making sure the trimming is carried out with razor sharp knives, sharpened the right way, old-school with stones and a careful hand.

Served up with some southern style coleslaw, garlic bread and a brisket, jalapeño and cheese kransky.

Good luck to all our kiwi brothers and sisters of the grill competing at the Steak Cookoff Association World championship in texas today!

We are all behind you back home, go well!

I'm not here to put socks on centipedes!!

Happy 40th wedding anniversary mum and dad!

Good luck and God speed to everyone competing over the weekend in nz and america!

Gutted to be missing Brewtown Barbecue Competition this year!

Fomo is at a mouth frothing level and we will experience the weekend through all of your posts!

Do us all proud

On a day like this, nothing beats coming home and cooking up a perfectly tender, perfectly Medium Juicy Scotch fillet steak from Mapari Meats sprinkled with Rum and Que intensify and given the rough comp treatment!

I may have got saturated cooking it bit it was so worth it!

Smashed potatoes, mix veg and pork sausages on the side

I'm off for seconds ;)
