We catch up with Ian “The Barbecue King” on life after retirement, the seven‑grill line‑up, and how a hobby turned into demos, brand partnerships, and feeding crowds without losing the fun. Travel, community, and a few honest fails shape a smarter, calmer approach to live fire.

• retirement, part‑time work, grandad life and more time at the grill
• seven‑grill set‑up, two pizza ovens and why each tool matters
• sustainable charcoal, Green Olive ambassadorship and fuel quality
• live demos with local butchers, fast formats and crowd tasting
• catering by accident, menu planning and service flow for 60 covers
• thermometers, rest and heat control as everyday discipline
• travel inspiration from Thailand to Abu Dhabi, pizzas and skewers
• barbecue fails that teach: scallops, overcooked steak, bad sauces
• community wins, charity book, events and steady Instagram growth
