The Ranch Hand - Australia

Beautiful day, gates open shortly

Yesterday was great, today will be even better

Checking in to see if any Bulldozer or Ranch Hand fans out there were at all interested in a Dad's day class Sept 1, 2024 at The Ranch Hand (6 London Drive, Bayswater VIC).

We're thinking just a couple of hours on the day, 10am to Noon(ish). Dad and the kids all invited (up to 2 kids, plus a bit for extra kids)

It's just a way to do something together that Dad loves, and a nice lunch at the end. We'd be doing chicken wings two way, smoked in the ZGrills as well as coated and fried and everyone can make their own sauces - BBQ, honey soy and traditional buffalo - as hot or mild as you like. Also be doing some yum loaded potato skins and some brown sugar baked beans in the smoker.

Write and let me know if you're at all interested. If we get enough folks, we'll set it up.

Got a weekend cook coming up and a little short on supplies?

Our little BBQ milk bar is open today until 3ish.
6 London Drive, Bayswater Vic, Just off Dorset Road.

Grab your quality Australian or US made pellets, Misty Gully wood, braising pans, mallee root or ironbark charcoal. And of course, rubs and sauces

We've also got the original, inkfree pink butcher paper in rolls or packs. Blocks your brisket from getting oversmoked while still letting the steam out so you don't lose that nice bark you've been waiting all day for.

Back in Monday at midday if we don't see you today.

Have a great weekend and a great if you're cooking.

Hey you all! We've been a little quiet on Insta and here's why.

Been building out our new facility. Commercial kitchen for the creative and all that food safe work; warehouse for the business bits. After 13 years in business, it's a place to call 'home'.

We're throwing open the showroom weekday afternoons as something of a BBQ milk bar, too. A place where you can grab a bag of charcoal or quality pellets (Lumberjack or Aussie produced), woods, accessories, bacon cures, brines, inkfree Oren butcher paper. And of course, our own award winning bbq sauces and rubs.

Pull up a stool if you're in for a bbq chin wag. BBQ is life. 😆
