G'Day Y'all

[Carolina_Dundee]

North Carolinian now residing down under, N Beaches, Sydney. Long time disciple of this site, finally ponied up for a membership because this place is so awesome, and I need the brisket e-book.

Grew up with Eastern NC tradition, vinegar sauce, whole hog . . . love Lexington, I know, I know - AND SC Mustard (whole fam is from SC). Now enjoying incredibly high quality meats down under - their stuff is fantastic. Just did lamb shoulder pulled pork style and used the Kentucky 'black BBQ' sauce recipe to rave reviews from my native Aussie friends.

Left my beloved Primo XL back in the states - 'making do' with a L BGE. Oh and they love their gas flat plate 'grills' down here - still getting used to that. Getting better at cooking on them, but still prefer fire, duh.

Anyway - American style 'Q is really taking off down here and I love to see it.

Welcome. Northern Beaches ain’t a bad spot to end up, although I guess you’re not unfamiliar with beaches if you’re from the Carolinas.

Irony of your post is that I’m trying hard to find a good quality flat plate cooker (like Blackstone or similar) here in Kiwiland but I can’t find a good one for love or money. Fire is great, but whacking up some yeast pancakes and maple bacon on a slab of solid steel has its place as well

Welcome from the northern Virginia suburbs of Washington, D.C.! I got to spend three years in Sydney during my second postdoc from 1992-95, sure did love it there. We were out near Macquarie University, where my fellowship was, in the North Ryde suburb. Australia is fantastic! Hope you have fun here.

One of my daughters in law received her Masters from the University of Melbourne. She loved it there.
