The Brisket Mini is the same handcrafted quality as the bigger boards, sized for the kitchen bench.
At 400mm × 400mm, the Mini is the entry point to The Australian Brisket Board range and the most versatile size in the lineup. Compact enough to live permanently on the bench, big enough to handle smaller briskets, Boston butts, roasts and steaks. Every Mini comes with the same big juice groove, heavy-duty rubber feet and finger grooves that the larger boards are built around. Nothing has been stripped back. The size is the only thing that has changed.
Big Juice Groove
A deep, full-perimeter channel catches every drop of jus when you slice. Nothing runs off the bench.
Heavy-Duty Rubber Feet
The board stays planted while you slice. Bench surfaces stay protected from scratches and moisture.
Finger Grooves
Cut-away grips on the underside make the board easy to pick up, even with wet or oily hands.
Reclaimed Australian Hardwood
Built from salvaged Spotted Gum, Blackbutt, River Red Gum, Sydney Blue Gum, Tallowwood and Jarrah.
Why We Stock This Brand
Timber that already had a life before this one.
Every Australian Brisket Board is built from ex-demolition Australian hardwoods that have already lived decades as floorboards, beams, railway sleepers and structural timber. That timber gets milled, sorted and rebuilt by hand at the family-owned workshop in Brisbane.
The result is density, weight and grain character that new timber cannot match. No two boards look the same. Spotted Gum runs chocolate brown. Blackbutt is blonde and honey-toned. River Red Gum runs deep red. Whichever timber yours arrives in, the board is built to outlast the next several generations of pitmaster in your family.

How to care for your board

- Never put the board in a dishwasher and do not soak it in water.
- Store the board on its edge, not flat, when not in use.
- Reapply a food-safe board oil or board butter every few weeks, or whenever the timber starts to look dry.
- Apply with a soft cloth, leave to soak in for a few hours, then buff off the excess.

Frequently asked questions
What size brisket can I fit on the Mini?
The Mini comfortably handles smaller briskets and brisket flats up to around 3 to 4kg. For full packer briskets (5kg and up), step up to the Medium or Large. Most home cooks find the Mini ideal for everyday kitchen prep and smaller BBQ cooks, then add a larger board when they get more serious.
Will my board look exactly like the photos?
No, and that is the point. Every board is built from reclaimed timber, so shades, grain patterns and colour vary from board to board. Some lean honey-blonde, others run deep chocolate brown or rich red. The photos show the style and construction. Your board will be uniquely yours.
What timber is the board made from?
Mixed reclaimed Australian hardwoods sourced from ex-demolition timber. The blend typically includes Spotted Gum, Queensland Blackbutt, River Red Gum, Sydney Blue Gum, Tallowwood and Jarrah. Each board uses whatever timber the workshop is working with at the time, which is why no two boards look identical.
Is there a warranty?
Yes. The Australian Brisket Board comes with a lifetime warranty on materials and workmanship. Cared for properly with regular oiling and hand washing, these boards do not wear out.
Can I pick up from the BBQ Republic showroom?
Yes. Pickup is available from our Wetherill Park showroom Monday to Friday 10am to 5pm and Saturday 9am to 2pm. Sydney metro delivery is also available. Call 0434 010 411 to arrange.
