G’day Ya’ll

[Lrwoz]

New as of today to Smoked Meat Forum and looking forward participating. From Central Georgia (Macon) but now live in Australia.... came here 20 years ago. Amazing that what I grew up with has taken off down under. Use a Primo Oval XL and a Weber... all wood no gas! Use Hickory, Apple, Cherry and Mesquite when I can get it (imported only...) or Aussie Red Gum. Look forward to talking to you guys! Cheers Ya’ll.

Hey DCecil..... In Georgia Hickory and Pecan was the go to wood when I was a kid... Then I learned about the merits of apple for Pork... then Mesquite. Have seen a lot of comments about the toxicity of Eucalyptus, but that’s the leaves only... perfect for those little Koalas but not for me!. The wood of Eucalypts (there are a bunch of species) are generally really dense hardwoods. Red Gum in particular comes in at 55lb/ft3 compared to Mesquite at 51lb... but the hardness is about the same. Flavour profile to me, is nearer to Mesquite than Hickory.. It’s a good wood and really plentiful here in Victoria (SE state in Australia) and burns really hot.

I got a few net buddies down in Australia and they don't believe me BBQ is good stuff. Think it would taste burnt ;)
