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?
