Greetings from Oz!

[Bumper]

Hi

Bumper here signing in from Canberra, Australia (3 hours south of Sydney, and, well, the capital but not many folk internationally know this). Keen amateur cook, bbq and brewer. I have a weber kettle and a PBC. Ordered a copy of Meathead after being a site lurker for a while, great book mate, learnt lots and I keep going back to it.

Looking forward to getting to know you all and sharing some Q!

Cheers

B

Thanks! There are approximately 6 dealers in Australia now, so didn't need to ship direct, bought it from a dealer in Sydney, so shipping was approx $15 US

[lschweig]

Cool beans! Am glad it was such a modest price for such a big bang.

[Bumper]

Ahh that was the shipping. Everything from America is generally double in $AUS and then some local dealer profit added to the final price. Still a couple of hundred under a WSM though so still relative. And you can't put a price on good Q, right?

Welcome to the Pit. We are happy to have you. Hope all is well down under.

[Bumper]
