Dave and Michelle

Welcome to Under the Hood BBQ! Dave and Michelle King run a family business based in Nelson, New Zealand. Our company has been forged out of our own passion for low & slow BBQ goodness. Our ever growing outdoor BBQ kitchen allows us to do what we love - to inspire, feed and educate by way of meal deliveries, catering and masterclasses.

We truly believe that food brings people together, so whatever you eat, make it good. Our recipes are tried and true and we are transparent about the way we make and create food, in fact we would love for you to join us online each day and follow our cooking journey and become part of the BBQ family.

You can follow the process of our food being cooked by checking out our daily stories on Instagram and Facebook. This way you can really build up an appetite and truly appreciate every hour of loving care that has been infused into our BBQ that makes it so delectable! Social media is also a great way for us to interact with our social followers.  We love hearing from you!

If you are thinking about attempting the low and slow game yourself, we give lots of how-to tutorials on exactly how to get amazing results at home. You can find these on our saved favourite stories on Instagram.

Our Masterclasses are offered 3-4 times per year and provide a fully immersive experience where we get you to join us in preparing, cooking and eating everything that is BBQ’d throughout the day. It is hands on learning at its best, as well as an amazing opportunity to meet other BBQ enthusiasts and learn from one another. The classes are suitable for everyone, whether you have yet to acquire your first BBQ or if you’re an experienced chef looking to expand your knowledge and pick up new tips.
