Jungmeister Down Under

[Jungmeister]

Gidday from Down Under. I just thought I would let you know that I have received the Food Temperature guide. What a comprehensive reference! I am relatively new to Low and Slow BBQ but a long time outdoor cooker. My first experience was in the Aussie Outback probably 60 years ago when we went on a "Chop Picnic". My Uncle used an old plough disk with three legs welded on. He placed it over a wood fire and we cooked lamb chops and sausages all with a liberal amount of onions, buttered white bread and tomato sauce while the kangaroos hopped past our camp. Now I use a Weber Q for quick gas cooking and a small WSM to learn the art of Low and Slow. I have had success with pork ribs, small brisket, pork scotch (Butt) and various chicken cuts. It is quite tricky to get the meat cuts by name from local Aussie butchers but we are all learning. Costco is a big help because they sometimes package local meats with USA names. It is great fun and the family loves it!

G'day mate, quite a few of you Aussies showing up here lately! The BBQ scene has taken off down under. Whereabouts in OZ?

[Jungmeister]

Gidday mate. I am from Adelaide, South Australia. A nice place to call home. Yes indeed the smoking style of BBQ is taking off -slowly though. It will take decades to wean the locals off grilled sausages and chops and half inch thin steaks.

haha! snags and those 10 dollar pub steaks are a staple! Looking forward to seeing some of your cooks!

Welcome aboard Jungmeister. I see a trend developing. Two of the hottest Pit spots are DownUnder & Chicago. What's the connection?
Great story of the "chop picnic". Looking forward to more, enjoy the ride!

[Jungmeister]

You have me there, mate. No obvious connection! I have visited the windy city years ago. Nice big lake!
