Sometimes BBQ plans get interrupted—and this week was one of those times. In this ad hoc episode, Steve and Dec sit down to talk about the difficult decision to postpone the Big BBQ Community Cookout after Storm Amy hit the UK with full force.

We break down the reasons behind the postponement, from health and safety concerns to looking after everyone in our community. The good news? The event is now confirmed for Saturday 11th October—and it’s going to be bigger and better than ever.

As always, we bring you the usual favourites:

• 🔥 What We’ve Been Cooking – our latest cooks on the grill and smoker

• 📰 Community News & Shoutouts – celebrating the BBQ family and what’s happening around the scene
