BBQ & Outdoor Cooking

Coals lit, lid off, a handful of chips on the heat: that's when a barbecue stops being burgers and starts being something worth talking about. Our BBQ and outdoor cooking range is built for flavour, from stainless steel smoker boxes and smoke generators to a deep spread of wood chips, apple, cherry and hickory among them, in coarse grades made for BBQ smoke boxes. There are complete hot and cold smoking kits, a ProQ cold smoke generator for the serious cook, and grilling baskets so nothing slips through the bars. It's all equipment and fuel, never the food itself. For ideas on what to throw on, our BBQ tips and ideas guide is full of coastal know-how.

Smoker boxes and wood chips

A smoker box holds chips over the heat and lets them smoulder, lending fragrant smoke to fish, meat or veg. The match matters. Lighter woods like apple and cherry suit delicate seafood, while hickory and oak give a stronger, classic BBQ flavour. Our which wood chips do I need? guide helps you match the chip to the dish. Many of these smoker sets also feature in our Gifts for Food Lovers range, for the keen barbecuer.

Hot and cold smoking at home

Hot smoking cooks as it flavours, the way to go for mackerel, chicken or sausages. Cold smoking flavours without cooking, for things like smoked salmon. Our starter kits cover both, and our home smoking guide explains the difference so you can pick the method that suits what you'd like to make. Honest, capable gear for the garden cook, chosen by people who'd rather be outside.
