Hang Fire Southern Kitchen 5.43

Samantha Evans and Shauna Guinn traveled to America in 2012 - 2013 on a roadtrip of epic proportions to find out 'what exactly is american bbq?'. Their mission was to attend masterclasses, listen to pearls of wisdom from backyard and competition 'cuers' alike and try as much bbq as possible.

Their adventures saw them help cook for a rodeo in Houston (50 briskets, 300 chickens and 200 racks of spare rib!) to helping an old mountain man repair his even older drum smoker deep in the Appalachians' and being entrusted to spice rub secrets that they have to 'take to the grave'. They attended masterclasses by competition winning barbecuers and traveled around eating the very best (and sometimes the very worst) barbecue in the world.

Having experienced all the major State variations, they're not only confident that they are able to recreate authentic southern style bbq, but are equipped to elevate it to the next level using British produce with unique flavour profiles.

Things are about to get very hot and smokey around here...
