About
Me
Kilmore, Victoria.
Not sorry about it.
I’m Tim. Dad, partner, occasional thinker, and permanent BBQ enthusiast based in Kilmore, Victoria. I work in finance and have for the better part of 15 years, which means I know a lot about money and a surprising amount about how to sit on hold without losing my mind.
This site is the side of me that doesn’t live in a spreadsheet. Food, coffee, gear, the kids cartoons I somehow started making, the GBL basketball league I somehow started running — it’s all here. No filter, no brand strategy, no aspirational caption nonsense.
Kristie keeps everything functioning. Paddy keeps everything chaotic. The meat smoker keeps everything honest.

Things I write about
BBQ & Food
Brisket, ribs, anything that benefits from eight hours and a lot of patience. Recipes, reviews, and the occasional disaster.
Dad Life
Raising a small human in regional Victoria. The chaos, the wins, and whatever Paddy said this week that I wasn’t ready for.
Gear & Stuff
Coffee gear, kitchen gear, retro gaming gear. Things that actually earn their shelf space. Honest takes, no gifted rubbish.
