G'day guys
I guess that you can tell from my accent that I am a "True Blue" (Australian).
AZJohnnyC dropped in and signed up on the Aussie BBQ forum and said Hi, he posted the link to this forum so I thought that I would return the favour.
I am a Moderator/Admin on the Aussie BBQ forum. I am also the VP of the ABBQA (Australian BBQ Association)
I obviously love barbecuing and have 9 BBQs altogether - 4 gassers, 4 charcoal and a pellet grill.
I demonstrated cooking for Weber Australia for 7 years - every Saturday and some Sundays between the end of September and end of December each year (peak BBQ retail time).
I have written an unpublished recipe book for the Weber Q series which I have started to re-write. i am semi-retired (lets face it no-one really retires, their wives just find other unpaid jobs for them to do) and travel around in my Winnebago. Australia is a big country About the same size as mainland USA not including Alaska. It's a 4 1/2+ hour flight from east to west and a 3 1/2+ hour flight north to south I still have a lot to see.
In Australia most people grill using a gasser and a hotplate. Through the Aussie BBQ Forum and the ABBQA we are starting to change a lot of people over to Charcoal and low and slow, sometimes it is pretty hard work.
I look forward to reading some of the topics on your forum to get a better understanding of what you all do.
Cheers
Phil aka Captain Cook
