Hi Everyone, I',m Mark from Australia. Been learning about American style BBQ the last few months, hopefully I can pick up some valuable tips tricks and info on authentic American BBQ. Being in Australia we are somewhat starved for good information particularly on different regional styles.
I look forward to being part of the community, Thanks

Mark.ibbo yes they are a nice machine. More adapted to the Aussie way of BBQ maybe. Here in the States they really push the tops with them--All the Aussies I know kind of prefer the open grill cooking and don't bother with the lids.
I upgraded my Beef Eater to the brass burners and used the thing for years-gave it a good cleaning before passing it to my son and he'll be using it for years too.
The piezo igniters on the thing just freak me out--10 years and never had one that failed.
Scotch: Current favorite- The Arran (anything by them), Glenmorangie 12yr Lasanta, sherry cask finished. The Balvenie Double Wood, also like Oban 18yr, and The Glenlivet Nadurra (Oloroso sherry cask finished) among others. Neat please.
