People |
| Nick Kelvin: |
Our Pit Boss
(Managing Director). Nick planned on opening an authentic barbecue restaurant in
the UK and spent four years travelling to the USA, meeting with the owners and pit
masters of over 30 leading BBQ joints in 11 States (as well as eating in
many more), and learning the art of commercial barbecue from luminaries such as
Mike Mills and Ed 'Fast Eddy' Maurin. He is a KCBS Certified Barbecue
Judge.
Having extensively researched the types of commercial smoker
best suited to the UK market, he was in the process of purchasing Cookshack
equipment from Jackie when he was offered an opportunity to buy into the company.
It was his Remington Moment! Nick now spends 100% of time working
with our clients and developing the company.

American BBQ
[uh-mer-i-kuhn bahr-bi-kyoo]
-cuisine
Cooking ‘low-and-slow’
over smoke to create mouth-wateringly tender and flavourful food. Typically, succulent meats or
seafood with a smoky. spicy crust (or “bark”), served with a tangy sauce; vegetables like you've
never tasted before. One of the world’s great cuisines, increasingly adapted by UK-based chefs and
backyard cooks to add their own unique twist to more familiar dishes. If you don't know barbecue
then you owe it to yourself to go out and find some! Better still, do it
yourself!!
-equipment
An apparatus called a
smoker that draws hot, flavour-giving smoke past meat and other foods by
convection for very slow cooking. Smoke is generated by hardwood logs
or BBQ pellets made with flavour-woods such as hickory, apple, or mesquite The heat source
is separated from the cooking area by way of an offset firebox or
a heat diffuser. Some barbecue smokers have cold-smoking options for smoking foodstuffs
such as cheeses, fish, tofu, garlic, salts…
A pellet grill smokes and grills, burning hardwood
BBQ pellets made with flavour-woods such as hickory, apple, or mesquite to generate heat and create
smoke. Pellet grills are extremely versatile; they smoke, they grill, they even bake bread or pizza
(think wood-fired stove) and are designed to be used all year round. Your money and eating
experiences go so much further than with other types of outdoor cooking equipment. Some even have
remote control, which means you can cook outside from inside!
-Company,
the
Championing 'low-and-slow' and smelling of smoke since
2005! As dedicated to establishing this fantastic cuisine throughout the UK as
it is to providing the best American Barbecue equipment to catering professionals and backyard
cooks alike. Run by people who really love, understand, and specialise in real
barbecue!
