About

Welcome to All Fire All The Time! We’re here to help demystify barbecue, bringing you the best in smoking and grilling recipes, barbecue how-to’s and guides, and over-fire cooking techniques.

If it involves fire, smoke, and food, we’ve got you covered.

Our Story

All Fire All The Time (also lovingly known as AFATT) began in 2014 when a shoulder injury left founder Ben Isham-Smith with a lot of time on his hands. Luckily, barbecue is where he turned to.

With a lot of time on his hands, he started getting to grips with all things BBQ: From perfecting the art of the smoke ring to perfectly reverse-seared steaks.

From here, Ben wanted to document his journey and show that good barbecue can be achieved by anyone. That’s when AllFireAllTheTime.com was born.

From its humble beginnings as a small blog chronicling tips and techniques learned along the way, AFATT has grown into a trusted resource for fire-cooking lovers everywhere. Now in our tenth year, we’re proud to reach tens of thousands of fellow enthusiasts every day, all of whom share our passion for outdoor cooking.
