Walking back from the beach my hunter's senses were suddenly alerted to the presence of meat slowly cooking on a primitive BBQ.... I belive the catalyst for this sensory awakening TOMO was the sheer volume of wood smoke billowing out of the roof which in part managed to enter my nasal cavity, causing previously said internal meat orgasm and me to release the beast from whithin and devour as much as possible using only my hands and teeth whilst sat at the table with my vegetarian friend

That was a great program ,especially the restaurant at the end where matey was cooking on about 7 different types of open fire, even the token veggies just got laid on hot coals ,flat bread cooked on coals ,simple but end result was mouth watering!

I must admit that I was quite surprised as well at the lack of charcoal/wood for barbies the first time I went to Aussie. My son even had one of those double gas ones, which I got to use. You don't quite get the taste that we are used to with charcoal but if you oil the grill bars well and put chicken 'skin side down' you start to build up some good smoke and 'spitting' when the oil and fat drip onto the diffuser and then rises to flavour the meat. Where they fall down IMO is when people put on skinned chicken breasts, prawns, scallops, steak, chops etc DRY.

I liked the easy clean up of them as opposed to lumpwood ash. I even bought one when we came back home, mainly because I had been replacing the BBQ about every 2-3 years because they were made of crap and started rusting after about a year, and the Aussie style ones had cast iron burners, hot plate and grill bars. Have had no problems with it for over 8 years now, although I did built a hot/cold smoker next to it to replace the wood taste, which I missed.

 

Ideally I would like to have bought the steel and fabricated a heavy duty one which incorporated a smoker, but am quite happy with what I currently have, and it gets used at least once per week throughout the year, even winter, as it is under cover.

This is true tomo, most here have fancy, super expensive gassy things that wouldn't fit on a mack truck, but rest assured we aren't all so civilised and taste illiterate. Many of us use a Webber (my personal choice for roasting beasts)which char grills just about as good as anything. There are times a few rocks some hardwood and a grill has resulted in some of the finest feeds I have ever eaten. I am also happy to hear from a friend who owns a BBQ shop the best sellers these days are woodfired ovens and charcoal fuelled slow cookers. I have noticed a worrying trend of Aussies trying to pretend they are civilised but I am confident the tide has turned and we are going back to our barbaric, carnivorous ways. Atvb.

they cook a whole rake of stuff in the pit along with the pig .i recon its just a very efficiant way of cooking a whole feast in one hit ,i recon it comes from the days when they cooked stuff on the hot volcanic rocks instead of an open fire ,,

What impressed me a lot was the municipal barbecues in the public parks that were never vandalised and when people finished using them they cleaned up after themselves.
