COMMUNITY

We’re proud to be a locally owned and operated business, and supporting our region is a big part of who we are. At BBQs Direct, it’s not just about great BBQs - it’s about backing the people, clubs, and causes that make our community such a great place to live.

Here you’ll find the organisations we’re stoked to support and sponsor.

Thanks for being part of our community — we couldn’t do it without you!

RAMS BASKETBALL – Basketball and BBQs go hand in hand if you ask us! We’re proud to back the Canterbury Rams and Mainland Pouākai teams, supporting the game we love right here in our region.

CANTERBURY BASKETBALL

We’re proud to support local talent by sponsoring the referees who keep our community basketball games running smoothly.

A Canterbury BBQ Revolution!

Since starting BBQs Direct in 2010, we’ve watched Cantabrians’ passion for BBQ explode - from a smokey “Renaissance” into a full-blown Revolution! More and more people are firing up charcoal, wood, and pellet grills, and BBQ has grown from a summer backyard tradition into a mad keen, year-round (and highly competitive) pastime.

We’re stoked to back this movement by hosting, supporting, sponsoring, and promoting BBQ competitions, teams, expos, and events - both here in Canterbury and beyond.

Canterbury BBQ Pitmasters Facebook Group

After the very first Meatstock BBQ Festival in Auckland in 2017 (and a casual chat here at BBQs Direct), the Canterbury BBQ Pitmasters Facebook Group was born. Today, it’s home to over 4,000 members sharing advice, tips, and plenty of smokey inspiration.

SOCIAL SMOKERS BBQ TEAM

We’re proud to be a principal sponsor of the Social Smokers BBQ Team, backing them as they fire it up in competitions both here in Canterbury and across New Zealand.

2 GIRLS AND A GRILL BBQ TEAM

We’re enthusiastic sponsors of the 2 Girls and a Grill BBQ Team, proudly supporting them and celebrating their successes as they compete at BBQ competitions here in Canterbury, around New Zealand... and the world!

DIRT FLIRT RACING

When she’s not busy at work, Kimberley Yeatman is out on the track unleashing her inner speed demon! We love supporting Kimberley and cheering on the Dirt Flirt Racing Team as they chase success and have plenty of fun along the way.

HAREWOOD GOLF CLUB

The club’s passion for fundraising is just as strong as their passion for golf. Their BBQ Hut has become a much-loved gathering spot for players, families, and supporters. We’re proud to support the club’s regular fundraising and activities — and to have supplied the new BBQ that keeps the sizzle going.

The House That Helps Chase the Clouds Away

At BBQs Direct, we’re proud to support our nominated charity: Ronald McDonald House South Island. This incredible organisation provides a “home away from home” for South Island families while their children receive hospital care in Christchurch.

When a child is seriously ill, being together as a family makes all the difference. But for many, the added stress of being far from home in an unfamiliar city can feel overwhelming. Ronald McDonald House takes that pressure away by offering a warm, supportive place to stay — so families can focus on what matters most: their child’s recovery.

❤️ Every contribution helps. To learn more or make a donation (big or small), visit the Ronald McDonald House South Island website and help keep families together when they need it most.

Save Lives – Give Blood

It’s not every day you get the chance to save a life — but that’s exactly what happens every time you donate blood. At BBQs Direct, we regularly roll up our sleeves to donate plasma at the Christchurch Donor Rooms.

Blood is a priceless gift, and it’s always needed. Book an appointment, give a little of your time, and make a life-changing difference.

HALSWELL UNITED AFC

From humble beginnings more than 50 years ago, Halswell United Football Club has grown into a true community hub, with players aged 4 to 70 — men, women, boys, and girls — all sharing the love of the game.

The club’s passion for fundraising is just as strong as their passion for football. Their weekly sausage sizzle has become both a vital source of income and a much-loved gathering spot for players, families, and supporters. BBQs Direct is proud to support the club’s fundraising efforts and the community spirit that comes with them.
