G'day Paul,

Welcome to our fold of happy bbqers....great to have you here.

I've seen those smokers that you make and sell on Ebay and they look nice...I was the one who actually posted the ebay link in smokers to show others what I found.

Everyone agreed that they looked like a nice bit of kit.

I don't know if you've noticed recently but there was a big batch of Traeger woodpellet smokers which sold on ebay and there were quite a few here that were the buyers...including myself. They are good gear......now if you could make and design woodpellet smokers, you might just create yourself a market because no-body makes them here and they are very big in USA.
We have in Australia a Mill which makes woodpellets on the North Coast and I beleive that there is another one in the making in South Australia....the pellets are heavily compressed sawdust so all the wood is natural.

Great to have you hear mate and looking forward to many posts and learning about your smokers.

Cheers

Davo

By all means you can make people aware that you manufacture the big Texas smoker in the BBQ Gadgets/Products and Suppliers section of this forum. Especially if you post a few photos, Man that is a great looking BBQ. Some of us are moving away from Charcoal fired smokers and getting into wood pellet BBQs such as the Traeger.
However we speak all forms of BBQ here.

Welcome to the forum, We hope to see a lot more of you.

Regards

Get photo bucket account, Upload your pics to that from "My Pictures". Then Copy and paste the Img to your post.

I love the look of your BBQ,s They look like a quality product.
I would not mind knowing what sort of quotes you get for freight to SEQ?
Also what kind of prices are you asking?
Pics would be good of all the ins and outs and of any cook outs?

Hi Paul (great name); as the other guys mentioned please don't hesitate to promote your product in the "BBQ Product/Gadgets/Tools Suppliers" section. That's what it's there for!
I didn't realise you are loacte in Melbourne I somehow thought you were in QLD??
Anyway welcome to the board and please share your smoker experiences!!! I've got a Komodo Kamado and should really BBQ more low-and -slow!!!

your on the ball chris , yer thats basically it ,the only difference is the damper in the fire box door,if you see the trailer pit on the link its the same as that ,works really well,
lots of draw if you need it and the temp guages might be different ,cant get that type any more but there all roughly the same

cheers paul
