Bought a BBQ but have no idea how to light it? Don’t worry, it happens to the best of us. Even the most enthusiastic grillmasters have stood there swearing over a half-burnt firelighter. Time for a BBQ workshop at Vuur & Rook, then—and you certainly don’t have to be new to the world of BBQ. Everyone is welcome, from curious beginners to seasoned charcoal enthusiasts.
We’ll teach you step by step how to handle your BBQ with ease. Whether you have a ceramic BBQ, a classic kettle BBQ, or a rugged smoker, we have a workshop to suit every style. You’ll discover how to light, control and use it properly for different preparations. No dry theory—just hands-on from the start.
Together with a group of like-minded people, you’ll dive into the basics, as well as the fun extras: smart techniques, useful tools, must-have gadgets and, of course, the advanced skills that will impress everyone at your next backyard gathering. You’ll learn to play with temperature, smoke, timing... and above all, flavour.
On this page, you’ll find our complete and varied range of workshops. Choose the one that suits you and sign up easily. Before you know it, you’ll be lighting your BBQ like you’ve been doing it for years… and serving up dishes that will have your neighbours spontaneously leaning over the fence.
