Workshops

Six people, one fire, a whole Saturday.

You will not be watching a demonstration. You light your own pit, you make the calls about when to wrap and when to wait, and you take home whatever comes off it.

Two pairs of hands over a charcoal grate, one turning pork with tongs, the other holding a thermometer.

What is on

All three run from our yard in Utrecht. Bring a coat that can smell of smoke afterwards.

First Fire

For people who own a kettle and have never got past burgers. Fire management, indirect heat, and why your chicken keeps drying out.

€95

Sat 27 September · 4 hours · 2 places left

Low & Slow

Brisket and pork shoulder, cold grate to carving board. The long one. Lunch, a beer and a tin of rub to take home are included.

€165

Sat 11 October · 9:00–18:00 · 3 places left

Whole Animal

A lamb over coals, butchered in front of you and cooked across the day. Two of us, six of you, and a lot of standing around talking.

€240

Sat 8 November · fully booked

Whole Animal is full

It usually goes within a week of being announced. Leave your address and you will hear about the next one before it goes on the site.

You are on the list. We will write before the date goes on the site.

Last time

We gave away two places

Forty-seven people entered and we drew two winners with a committed seed and a public randomness beacon — so anyone can check afterwards that nobody was picked to favour them. The proof stays online.
