Barbecue hunt goes viral
Chef Greg’s hand-built BBQ smoking rig.
Chef Greg Adams had his livelihood returned to him last month when his stolen barbecue was recovered by members of the community after a social media manhunt.
Greg’s custom-built meat smoking rig was brazenly stolen from the Red Beach Surf, but the thieves were caught on camera using bolt cutters to cut the chain securing the rig and driving off with it on a trailer.
Greg turned up the next day with 100kgs of meat ready to smoke only to find his prized barbecue missing. He put up a social media post about the theft and, to his surprise, it received more than 5000 shares and 550,000 views.
