Re: Does anyone have any thoughts on this BBQ store.

I can also vouch for Doug. He's well known among the bbq community here in Perth and was the first person authorised to sell Yoder smokers here in Perth I believe. It is a legit business and would highly recommend him. He runs other businesses so his bbq business is purley online but I'm sure there'...

Re: ProQ vs Hark Trip Fire

Can't speak on the bullet smokers as I've never used one but I'm a happy evil stickburner. Haven't had a problem with dry meat from the Hark, although I do cook with a water pan as well. As far as hoping the thicker metal will mean less playing with fire, the offset might not be what you are after. ...

Re: 3 Spices finding hard to Find

You could always make maple crystals yourself, not too hard. And if you are looking for other uses for them after making a batch they go great when added to some pancake batter :wink:

I like adding a bit of dried shitake mushroom to my rubs lately for a bit of an umami boost!

Re: Perth Meat Suppliers

Thanks Bucs and Bob - will give the Beef Shed in Malaga a crack. If they also have proper Boston Butt then it will be worth the drive! If not, it will have to be Maddington and dropping Buc's name :D You won't find any Boston Butt there. Will have to go see the Beef Shop boys about that, or speak t...

Re: Perth Meat Suppliers

Back to Drivers yesterday and the young fella said they stopped stocking brisket some time back. :cry: No plans to get it back in a far as he knew. :cry: Will have to find another regular, easy source. The Beef Shed had a heap when I was up there the other week in Malaga. About 20 - 25 minutes from...

Re: How Do You Do Hamburger?

I normally ground up some chuck and add a bit of salt, pepper, garlic and then what ever I feel like at the time... Some times some chili flakes (actually I add chili most of the time :p ), onion powder, maybe some herbs and a splash of Worcestershire. Mix it up and have a play with what ever you ha...

Re: Pellet burners becoming more popular in Perth

I also use Jarrah in my offsets...It's easy to get! When I'm doing Chicken, I have a smaller red hot fire so there is next to no smoke when I put a new piece of wood on. Chris Aye, that would work, with maybe a bit of Banksia on the outside. Didn't mind the chicken I cooked up using only charcoal a...

Re: Pellet burners becoming more popular in Perth

Jarrah and pork is a great combo.

I started using Jarrah as it was the cheapest way to run my offset on wood and I've been pretty happy with everything it turns out. The only thing I probably wouldn't use it on would be chicken or seafood, but I haven't tried yet so can't rule it out ;)
