ABOUT THIS EXPERIENCE
Fire up the forge and create a handcrafted BBQ tool set you'll be proud to use for years to come.
Perfect for barbecue enthusiasts and complete beginners alike, this immersive one-day experience will guide you through the traditional blacksmithing techniques used to transform raw carbon steel into three beautiful, practical tools. With every stage demonstrated live by our expert instructors, you'll forge each piece using our signature step-by-step teaching method, ensuring you leave with a finished set you can genuinely be proud of.
During the day you'll create:
BBQ Fork
Perfect for handling larger cuts of meat with confidence.
BBQ Spatula / Flipper
A versatile tool for flipping burgers, steaks and everything in between.
BBQ Meat Turner
Designed for lifting, turning and serving meat straight from the grill.
Our designs provide the perfect starting point, with opportunities to personalise elements of each tool to suit your own style and preferences.
No previous blacksmithing experience is required—just bring your enthusiasm, and we'll guide you every step of the way.
By the end of the day, you'll leave with a complete handcrafted BBQ tool set forged entirely by you. Every barbecue that follows will be a reminder of an unforgettable day at the forge.
