My day job is in IT as a cloud architect with VMware and in the software world when you learn a new language the first thing you do is write some code to say “Hello World”.

So this is my “Hello World” – On a non-IT topic that inspires and excites me everyday – BBQ.

For as long as I can remember I have loved to fire up my Weber Genesis 410 gas grill to cook the basics (Sausage/burger/Steak) but in the last 4 years I have expanded my skills by moving to charcoal cooking with a Kamado Joe Classic II, and more recently with a Weber Jumbo Joe.

Ireland is not know for all year-round BBQ weather but I have never let the weather get in the way of a cook so I have cooked in the rain, used umbrellas & popup gazebos or just got wet. More recently I’ve added a fully covered outdoor kitchen to my garden but more on that in another post.

I hope you find my content useful and I’m always open to suggestions on how to improve so please get in touch.
