This page is a tribute to David Brown. Sadly no longer with us, he was a big part of the UK BBQ Community.
He put together an extensive list of links for all things BBQ, eloquently known as Brownz Bible.
We have gone through and updated as much as possible while retaining what David built as a list and want to provide this so that the memory of David lives on.

About the Author

So, a brief hello from me.

I’m David W Brown, Dave to many, or just simply Brownz to many more.

I’ve been a keen amateur BBQer for about 10 years now.

Like most, I fell totally in love with the kiss of flavour that fire and smoke can impart to pretty much any food you care to choose.

I qualified as a Kansas City Barbecue Society Certified Barbecue Judge in early 2019 after having volunteered at various events for a couple of years. I also completed the Certified Table Captain course at the same time.

I love to travel, read, cook and socialise, so I don’t think there is a better hobby to have than BBQ.

If you want to get on this list then just ping us an email at the address below. This list is strictly “not for profit” and “ad free”, and that is how it shall remain. David put it together to act as a resource for all, from those taking their first steps on their smokey journey, to the seasoned competition pros. This list is kept up to date just for the love of “Que”.
