History of PEART BBQs and the Caribbean Cooker

Mick Peart, creator of Caribbean Cookers and the PEART BBQ.

On holiday in March 1996 at Negril, Jamaica, Mick Peart met Trevor Myrie and his son Megal. On the beach at Sun Set bar they stood cooking chicken on a grill made from an old oil drum. Although the drum worked well and cooked great food the traditional life span of these drums is only 1 year.

A year went by and in March 1997 another meeting was organised. Trevor's oil drum by this time was full of holes and rust. It was then that Mick decided to make an alternative that would last, Mick knew that the only material that would do the job was stainless steel.

In 1998 a fully stainless steel barbecue cooker arrived at Montego Bay and Trevor and Mick collected it together from the docks. The cooker is still in regular use most days with no sign of wear.

This was the start of Caribbean Cookers for home and commercial use, and Peart BBQs, as well as the original Caribbean Cookers are now available to all.

All models in the range are hand made, 100% stainless steel, charcoal fired barbecues. Each barbecue is built to order and due to the construction methods and materials used, will stand up to the rigorous of the UK winter (and summer!)

Unlike many other barbecues, the Peart models can be left outside all year round, instantly ready for use should an unexpected sunny day materialize.

With a Peart barbecue you need never miss the opportunity of an enjoyable British cook up again.
