BBQ & Smoker Recipes (UK Guide for Beginners & Pros)

Welcome to the Kitchen Sizzlers BBQ and smoker recipe collection — written specifically for UK home cooks using electric smokers, gas BBQs, charcoal kettles, and even oven finishes where needed.

Whether you’re cooking low-and-slow pulled pork, hot-smoking salmon, or experimenting with dry rubs and marinades, every recipe here includes clear temperatures in °C, realistic cook times, and safe internal temperature guidance.

If you’re new to smoking, start with our Beginner’s Guide to BBQ & Smoking (UK) to understand indirect cooking, temperature control, and wood selection. You can also use our BBQ Smoker Time Calculator to estimate cook times for brisket, pork shoulder, ribs and more.

Many of these recipes are written with electric smokers in mind — including the Masterbuilt 710 WiFi — but they can easily be adapted for charcoal or gas BBQ setups using two-zone cooking.

Whether you’re feeding the family midweek or planning a weekend cookout, these recipes are designed to be practical, reliable, and repeatable.
