Adventurer’s Notes

When the DragonFire pits burn low and the smoke fills the air, this is the marinade the pitmasters reach for. Sweetness, smoke and savoury depth work together to build flavour from the inside out, while the sugars help create a rich, sticky glaze that’s impossible to resist.

Storage

Store in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Discard any marinade that has been used with raw meat.

Merchant’s Tip

For the best barbecue finish, reserve a small amount of unused marinade before adding the meat. Brush it over during the final few minutes of cooking to build layers of sticky, smoky flavour without cross-contamination.
