Fade School

At Fade Projects, our philosophy is simple: life tastes better outdoors, especially when cooking over fire.

With so many options on the market, choosing the right equipment can feel overwhelming. For us, a Komodo-style BBQ is the ultimate investment, incredibly versatile and built to last a lifetime when cared for properly. At Fade, we favour Big Green Eggs for their performance, build and reliability, but our Fade School courses can be tailored to suit a wide range of brands.

We’re also captivated by the artistry of Somerset Grill’s Asado rigs, part of the exciting open-fire movement redefining the outdoor dining experience. And of course, there are pizza ovens, far more versatile than their name suggests, opening the door to an entire repertoire of wood-fired creations.

For flexibility, we use the portable editions of our favourite equipment: the Big Green Egg MiniMax, Somerset Grill Asado Go, and the Gozney Roccbox. These compact powerhouses allow us to showcase the same performance and versatility you’d expect from their full-size counterparts. If you’d like to experience any of these products in action during your session, simply let us know when completing your booking form.
