Barbecue international reflects my quest to discover as much as possible about barbecue. It takes me to the furthest outposts of the globe.

Coming soon - Iceland, Budapest, Patmos and Guildford.

NB: If there is anything unique to do with barbecue happening in your part of the globe, I would like to know the inside information - there is a form below to make it easy. Go to form.
