What a weekend 🔥

I headed across the ditch this weekend for a pretty special reason, to surprise a mate I haven’t seen in ages, catch up with some good people, and do what I know best, fire up a BBQ and cook for everyone.

The only slight problem with flying to another country to cook BBQ is you can’t exactly throw the smoker in the overhead storage 😂

So before heading over, I put a post up in the NZ BBQ community asking for a little help, and honestly, I was absolutely blown away by the response.

The generosity, offers and willingness to help from people who had never even met me was incredible.

A massive thank you has to go to Steven Cook from Cook Cartel , who went above and beyond and basically made the whole cook possible. Steve sorted me out with everything I needed, a drum smoker, charcoal, temp probes and even Swift pork ribs. I pretty much just had to turn up and cook!

Mate, I genuinely can’t thank you enough for your generosity and for trusting some random Aussie with your gear 😂

Another HUGE thank you to Mapari Meats , who incredibly generously supplied the brisket and meat for the cook. The quality of the meat was absolutely unreal and it certainly didn’t go unnoticed by everyone around the table! Everything was perfect.

What started as a simple idea to fly over, surprise a mate and cook some BBQ for him and his friends turned into something much bigger for me.

BBQ has always been about more than just the food, it’s everything.

It’s about bringing people together, sitting around a table, having a laugh, sharing a beer and forgetting about everything else for a while.

This weekend was a pretty bloody good reminder of that. Met some pretty cool amazing people while over there too 😉 Thank you to all those who made this happen and kept the secret too 😆

To everyone in the NZ BBQ community who commented, messaged, offered equipment, meat, advice or simply wanted to help, thank you.

You made an Aussie feel very welcome on your side of the ditch 🇦🇺🤝🇳🇿

And most importantly, we got to put on one hell of a feed for a good mate.

That’s what BBQ is all about ❤️🥹

Beef rib anyone? 🤤

Well, this one has been a long time coming🔥

I’ve followed Michael and Big Box Barbeque for a few months now, watching from afar. We’ve chatted plenty over this time. The other week I finally got to meet the man behind the smoker, and well today, and more importantly, finally got to try the BBQ.

All I can say is, bloody hell!! 🤤

Every single bite was spot on. Brisket that melted in your mouth, incredible bark, perfectly rendered, awesome sides, just honest, proper BBQ, done the way it should be.

No gimmicks, no overcomplicating things, just letting great barbecue speak for itself.

If you ever find yourself in Canberra, do yourself a favour and go pay Michael a visit. You’ll leave full, happy, and already planning your next trip back.

Great food, great bloke, and absolutely worth the drive.

❤️ Thank You, Jindabyne ❤️

What an incredible few days it’s been.

When we made the decision and packed up the smoker in Newcastle and made the trip down, we hoped people would enjoy what we do. We never imagined we’d be welcomed the way we have.

To everyone who came out for a burger, a meat box, loaded fries, or simply stopped in for a chat, thank you. To those who came back a second or thirds even; you know who you are, shared our posts, recommended us to friends, or spread the word around town, you’ve made this trip one we’ll never forget.

As a small business, your support means far more than you probably realise. Every meal we served, every conversation we had, and every smile across the counter reminded us why we love doing what we do.

A huge thank you to the locals, the resort staff, everyone visiting the region, and our fellow food vendors Amigos Mexican Restaurant and wafflo_ who made us feel so welcome.

We truly hope we’ve brought something a little different to Jindabyne and created a few memories too. We truly can’t wait to fire the smoker back here again!! Watch this space and our socials

Until next time… thank you, Jindabyne ❤️🔥

We’re just getting the finishing touches on your BBQ fix tonight Jindy! The BBQ gods have delayed us a little bit so we’ll be ready from 4:30pm at The Village Church.

We’ll be here with Amigos Mexican Restaurant all night long!

You have smashed our BBQ so we are getting low on the bbq meaty goodness, so make sure you get down and see us before we run out!

The smoker is loaded, the fire is lit and blue smoke is rolling, and we’re settling in for an overnight cook ready for our first service tomorrow!

JINDABYNE… WE’VE ARRIVED! 🔥🐷

After the drive down from Newcastle, Smokin’ Swine BBQ has officially rolled into Jindabyne!

The smoker is in position, the wood is stacked, the lights are on, and tomorrow the fire gets lit as we spend the night cooking over fire, ready for our first service on Thursday.

This is our first ever trip to Jindabyne, and we’re genuinely excited to bring American BBQ to Jindabyne and the Snowy Mountains. There’s something pretty special about seeing the smoker set up with the mountains as the backdrop.

A big shout out to our neighbours, Amigos Mexican and WAFFLO - Catering & Food Trucks , who have also set up alongside us. It’s great to be part of a lineup of food vendors, giving everyone plenty of delicious options over the next few days. If you’re coming down, make sure you show them some love too! 👏

We’ll be tending the fires tomorrow, smoking our meat and giving it the love and passion we put into every single cook, the way it should be.

A huge thank you to everyone who’s shared our posts, tagged their mates and sent us messages over the last week. The support has honestly been amazing.

📍 The Village Church
3 Park Road, Jindabyne

📅 Open Thursday 16th through Sunday 19th

We’re looking forward to meeting plenty of locals, visitors and snowgoers over the next few days. If you see the smoke rolling, come over and say hello! 🔥🐷

🔥 ONE WEEK TO GO! 🔥 MENU IN PHOTOS

After the response to our announcement, we honestly can't wait to bring the smoker south.

For the last 6 years we've made the annual trip to Jindabyne chasing the snow. Every year we found ourselves saying...

"Imagine if someone brought proper American BBQ down here."

Well this year, we're making it happen.

And Mother Nature has finally decided to join the party.

The snow has finally arrived, now it's our turn. ❄️🔥

After a slow start to the season, the Snowy Mountains finally saw a fresh dump of snow last weekend, and with more forecast for the weekend we're arriving, it's shaping up to be the perfect time to warm up with some authentic Low & Slow BBQ.

So after a day on the slopes, skip the ordinary and grab yourself a feed that'll warm you from the inside out.

🔥 12+ hour smoked brisket
🔥 Pulled pork
🔥 Jalapeño cheese sausages
🔥 Loaded fries
🔥 BBQ meat boxes
🔥 Smoked over real hardwood

📍 The Village Church
3 Park Rd, Jindabyne NSW 2627

📅 16th – 19th July
🕓 4:00pm – 8:30pm (or until sold out each night)

We're bringing the smoke to the snow. ❄️🔥

See you in Jindy!
