We were stoked to donate some of our Butchers Axe BBQ rubs to the Clyde CFA for their annual dinner at Tooradin Sports Club!
The CFA do an incredible job supporting and protecting our local community, so we’re more than happy to throw a few of our rubs into the raffle
Thanks to them for the opportunity to help with the raffle and a massive thanks to all the volunteers at Clyde CFA for everything you do!
BBQ brings the community together 🔥

Competition Barbecue is all about "those moments"
When you hear your name called you feel like King of the world for that moment in time.
Sharing it with good friends makes it worth it 🤝🏻
This was our 3rd place lamb from the recent Grampians BBQ competition

Kangaroo Valley Craft B**r and BBQ Festival!
-
Another year has passed (flown by!) And once again this coming weekend we will be heading to The Friendly Inn in Kangaroo Valley for our favourite event of the year!
It really is a cracker and highly recommended. So if you are in the area make sure to get yourself tickets and head down.
We hope that we can have the luck we had in 2024 and bring home the win but it is a tough field of great competitors!
Wish us luck!

Grampians BBQ Competition 2026
7 months between comps…
7 months since we fired up the pits for a proper practice…
And what a bloody weekend.
🐑 Lamb — 3rd
🐖 Pork Ribs — 7th
🐷 Pork — 4th
🥩 Brisket — 4th
🏆 4th OVERALL
Not quite the result we wanted, but considering we’ve been sitting on our arses for 7 months, we’ll take it! No excuses though... 2 weeks until we have another hit out at Kangaroo Valley.
Huge thanks to our family, friends, Luke our Butcher, fellow teams (Big Smoke on GC and Dusty Que on RGC), judges, sponsors and everyone who came past to have a yarn and say g’day. Also special shout out to our boy Gazman for coming to hangout this weekend, you're a legend mate!
BBQ comps are bloody hard work, but having a great bunch of people around makes it all worth it.
See you at the next one!

I don’t think people realise how easy doing pulled meat is…and the actual effort involved…next to nuddah!
Check it…
fire up smoker, trim off any hard fat, season, put in the smoker, maybe give it a spritz, wrap it & put it back in the smoker, shred it…and you’re done!
If that sounds like too much effort…can skip the spritz and wrap!
And if that still sounds like too much effort … you’re no fun.
My go to trio of seasonings that slap with pork Butchers Axe BBQ Basecamp, Ranger, and Original BBQ Sauce.

Brisket Sanga! 🐃
-
Went for a quick freezer dive and found some old vac sealed, cooked Sher Wagyu brisket. It was gently reheated and honestly came out like it was fresh off the pit. The brisket slices were slapped in a slider brioche roll with some pickles, burger slaw, red pickled onion, burger cheese and some Butchers Axe Original BBQ sauce. This was an absolute flavour bomb!

HECTOR’S DELI — FITZROY!
Beef & Pickles — 10/10
This was seriously bloody good.
A great mix of flavours with a perfect balance — beef pastrami, American cheese, hectic sauce, mustard pickle spread, dill pickles and kraut on light rye.
Smokey
Acidic
Salty
Savoury
A hint of heat
Everything worked together without one flavour overpowering the other.
Absolutely smashed this one.

Who loves Lamb? 🐑 (we do and so should you!)
We started with a beautiful lamb shoulder from Kellys Meats.
💉 Injected with Butchers Axe Lamb Injection
🧂Seasoned with Butchers Axe combo-
🧄 Woodlands Garlic
💚 Hunter Lamb & Game Seasoning
🔥 Cooked at a steady 300°F (pellets from Charcoal Kings)
Wrapped with butter, fresh rosemary, and another dusting of Hunter to finish it off.
The result? Incredibly juicy, packed with flavour, and pull-apart tender. This one disappeared fast!

LEFTOVERS PIES... BUT MAKE THEM INSANE
This one turned out next level.
Leftover beef rib and ribeye steak, folded into a rich mushroom & jalapeño sauce, loaded with cheese, then baked inside a golden flaky pie.
The sauce started with a béchamel-style base, then got taken up a notch with: Mushrooms, Jalapeños
💛 Butchers Axe Bullseye Rub, Worcestershire sauce and a dob of Maggi gravy
The result? Creamy, cheesy, smoky and packed with flavour. Proof that leftovers don't have to be boring.
Would you smash one of these?
