Launching this coming Sunday 26 October at midday, a collaboration with Colonel Fatboy von Bootleg and the OCI. Come down and enjoy the smoked goodness!

Smoked onsite at Old Canberra Inn and working with the OCI kitchen team to serve smoked meat perfection.

“I’m wired for process, but BBQ’s the kind of chaos I live for. You plan everything — the fire, the meat, the timing — but nothing ever really goes to plan. That’s where I find the rhythm that keeps me coming back. I’ve been cooking low and slow for over fifteen years, and teaming up with OCI lets me share that obsession with the locals who love real BBQ.” Colonel Fatboy von Bootleg

Mark your calendars for every second Sunday the smoker will be fired up, smoked goodness will be prepared, cared for and watched to ensure the perfect temperature will be achieved and maintained. It’s the perfect smoked goodness paired with his secret sauces and rubs… smoked perfection is guaranteed!

There will be the option to buy one of his books, take home some secret sauce and all will unfold at OCI in the coming months.

Watch the OCI socials for each announcement!
