Outdoor kitchen setup

Fired Up Feast

The story so far

I started building an outdoor kitchen. Then I couldn't stop cooking on it.

About Fired Up Feast

I’m Tim — a home cook based in Dorset, UK who got slightly obsessed with outdoor cooking and decided to document it. What started as a project to build a proper outdoor kitchen in the garden turned into a full-on live-fire habit: wood-fired pizza, long brisket smokes, reverse-seared steaks, and everything in between.

Fired Up Feast is where I write it all up — the recipes that worked, the ones that didn’t, the kit I actually use, and what I’ve learned building a cooking setup from scratch. It’s a nerdy corner of the internet for people who care too much about leopard-spotted crust and brisket bark. You’ll fit right in.

The person behind it

I’m Tim, based in Dorset, UK. My setup centres on a Gozney Dome — it gets more use than is probably reasonable for a home cook.

I got into outdoor cooking properly when I started building a dedicated kitchen in the garden. That project is still very much in progress — and so is this site.

How recipes are tested

Every recipe on this site gets cooked at least twice before it goes up — once to nail the method, once to check the write-up actually makes sense to follow. I note what went wrong each time and fold that into the pro tips.

Gear guides and equipment picks are based on what I own and cook on regularly — not affiliate sponsorships or products I haven’t touched.
