Modern Australian BBQ

[Gregg from Australia]

Australia is starting to find it's own BBQ voice. Although our knowledge is deeply rooted in trips to the US & books about BBQ in Texas & Kansas ect we are starting to put our own twist on things. For the same reason Mexican food is popular in the US, Asian dishes & lamb are popular here. Today I did a pulled lamb shoulder & it was awesome....All the BBQ comp guy's & BBQ restaurants are doing pulled lamb & it's quickly becoming a key part of BBQ down here. It will be very interesting to see how Australia responds to this wave of popular modern BBQ as you can see it happening all over Melbourne & Sydney these days....

Pulled lamb sounds very interesting. I may need to give it a try!

You won't be sorry!!! Above recipe or Meat Head's Kentucky Smoked Lamb or Mutton with Sunlite Black Sauce. Awesome!!!

Thank you for sharing! One thing I'd do different is dry brine that lamb longer than an hour, preferably overnight or even 24hrs. 1/2 tsp of Kosher salt per pound of meat, or in this case the "favourite savory rub" if it includes salt. This not only seasons it ahead of time but it helps the meat retain more moisture during the cook because the salt molecules will travel inward the more time you give it.

Sounds great. Yep in what ever country you are, you need to adapt to what kind of food is locally available.
I may just have to find me a Patagonian lamb to test this recipe out.

It appears, according to your avatar, that you and Jerod Broussard are fraternal twins separated at birth. Not identical, but close.

Yep, looks like we can both lay down a heavy smoke ring when needed.
