About this listen

Low & slow BBQ feels everywhere in New Zealand now — smokers in backyards, brisket on social feeds, and BBQ sections growing in hardware stores.

But it wasn’t always like that.


In this episode, I look at how low & slow cooking went from a niche hobby to something far more common across Aotearoa. From the influence of social media and overseas BBQ culture, to gear becoming easier to access, lockdowns giving people time to cook, and the quiet resurgence of hands-on hobbies.


More importantly, we talk about what happens next. Was this just a trend, or is something more lasting being built?


Because low & slow might have started as something we copied — but the people who stuck around are shaping what Kiwi low & slow BBQ becomes.
