Top effort mate, great looking build.

Now whats in the VW collection......

Good to hear all the positive feedback on this place, I will check it out when in Melb next. Was in Melbourne a couple of weeks ago at went to Bluddso's too. Let's just say I followed my nose there as I'd never heard of it. I hope they open in Syd soon is all I can say. The best BBQ pork ribs I've e...

My main go to unit is the Yoder YS1500 but have been cooking a lot on the Weber smokey mountain lately too (same as pro q)

I'd keep smoke on it for at least 4 hours or so... that helps make your bark too, just add those chunks as you need to!

There is simply no right or wrong answer on this.. I have cooked good brisket in 4 hours and I have cooked it in 20 hours and everything in between. You just have to find a technique that works for you & your type of cooker, I don't like cooking beef at 225*F don't get me wrong, you can and I ha...

I am never taking fire safety advice from you ^^

It looked like a good event mate... nice looking venue.

Have cooked it, it's pretty good considering how cheap it is... Can't really compare it to grass fed Cape Grim though, that's like apples and oranges.

Terrible news.

Vale Mountain Mick, may he rest in peace

Will think of him as I raise a glass too

It definitely makes sense with the exchange rates & economy to go with local manufacture!

I do have some product manufactured in China, some from Thailand but majority USA. Not BBQ related mind you. The biggest thing about doing business in China (well Asia in general) is connections & relationships... you really need to have them and have good ones at that. I would start by approach...

That is cool Bentley! ^^ I hope that comes here.

Well built pits for the $$ those Louisiana's

Yes, but it would be fun to do a fact-finding mission! Actually, one of the reasons I was drawn to the Rec Tec was that I was going to get their mini (got as far as paying for it with a delivery fee of $US99 all the way to Oz, which their website allowed me to do, to my absolute amazement - how sad...

Not that I am aware of.

Currently you're Australian pellet options are:

• Traeger
  Yoder Smokers
  Green Mountain Grills
  Cookshack
  And soon, Louisiana Grills

My advice, go kick the tyres on all of em and see what you like best.

Take a look at Green Valley Spices, they might have what you are after or close.

I started that list last year but since starting it everyones editing privileges got removed, I left it to mods to maintain, there is no current mods (that I'm aware of) and I've been banned (not long back) SO I...

That is a very well thought out build Andrew, well done mate!

There is a lot of familiar features that I think take it up a notch! The trap door next to the fire box is a great one for instance, there will be times you're glad you put it there, that is for sure.
