In the Season 2 Finale, Steve and Dec sit down for a reflective, honest, and heartfelt episode to close out an incredible year in the UK BBQ community.

We cover all the usual segments — community news, recent cooks, shoutouts, gear, events, and what’s been happening in our world of BBQ — but this one carries some extra weight and meaning.

We look back at our favourite memories, moments, cooks, collaborations, and events from the 2025 BBQ season. From live fire sessions to community meetups, this year truly showcased the growth and passion of BBQ lovers across the UK.

We chat about new plans, events we want to attend, dishes we want to master, and how we want the podcast — and the community — to continue evolving next year.

In this episode, we pay tribute to our dear friend Wayne Entwistle, a huge character in the UK BBQ & festival scene who sadly passed away this year.
Wayne was an incredible presence — warm, generous, hilarious, and always the first to help others. His love for food, fire, and community made him a true legend in the BBQ world.

He will be missed massively, and this episode is dedicated to him.
