Really enjoying these videos and will be trying some out very soon. Love the saucepan by the way.

Great video. Hi,from USA.
At least 10 minutes resting time will elevate it even further .
Totally over the top all that charcoal
Outstanding once again, I can’t wait for the weather to slightly improve and try out these great ideas.
Didn't know there were any meat eaters in Bristol.
Great video Gen, please keep these coming and you will have 10 million subscribers and retire in some warm country where no fuck’s are given …. 👍🏻😆
Wonderful tutorial! I'm hoping to attend one of your classes; maybe 2027? Thank you for your tips and techniques!
Really enjoying these series Gen. I have a few hanger steaks lurking in my freezer and this video has inspired me to get a couple out and fire up over the weekend . Hope to join you at Bristol Fire School again later in the year . Big love 🔥
