Hello from Melbourne

Long time forum member, but almost as long off-line.  I had a BGE given to me by a few friends back in 2003.  Still have it, but it's moved from Toronto, to Ottawa, and now in Melbourne Australia.

I used to joke I moved to Australia to teach Aussies how to BBQ, but the days of an Aussie BBQ meaning frying on a flat plate outside is starting to be replaced by proper hardwood charcoal direct and off-set BBQs.  

The characteristics of the charcoal here are different than I was used to in Canada.  Maple hardwood charcoal out of Quebec is hard to beat.  Most of the wood here is a variant of gum trees, tends to take longer to light and has a much higher ash content.  Now that I'm used to it, it's fine.

Cheers,

DR
