Meet the Man Behind the Smoke
Hey there, welcome to my backyard!
I’m Sven Cultiaux, nickname Svenny, a (cyber)security guy by day, but a true grill, barbecue, and pizza freak the moment the weekend hits.
My obsession with outdoor cooking started just like it does for many: experimenting in the backyard with good music on, a cold beer in hand, and friends hanging around the fire. What began as a hobby quickly got out of hand. Today, my dedicated outdoor kitchen in Hoensbroek is my absolute happy place. It’s where the Kamado runs for hours to get that perfect bark on a low & slow brisket, and where my gas pizza oven gets cranked up to blistering temperatures.
Chasing Perfection
I don’t believe in cutting corners when it comes to flavor. Whether it’s selecting the right wood chunks for a deep smoke ring, fine-tuning custom marinades, or obsessing over a 72-hour cold-fermentation process for the ultimate Neapolitan pizza crust—I love the science and the patience behind great food.
Why This Site?
Grilling & Chilling with Svenny is all about sharing that passion. I wanted a dedicated place outside of Instagram to document my favorite recipes, share step-by-step guides, and look back at the epic food sessions and events we host.
This space is built on fire, fueled by passion, and always meant to be shared with friends. So look around, grab some inspiration for your next cookout, and let’s turn up the heat!
Cheers, Svenny
