Hi everyone. I am a Californian who transplanted himself to New Zealand 11 years ago. One of the things I miss about home is the food...namely BBQ. New Zealander's, like our Australian mates, love to Q. However, the only comparison is the word BBQ and meat. That's where the comparison ends. In this part of the world, everyone uses gas grills (except my father in law who uses a Weber to smoke his meat.
I am in search of some plans on how to build a good smoker BBQ. I have seen the "Big Smokey" plans and, to be honest, the system is too costly and too big for me. If we talk about cost; the conversion kit is aropund $130. Tha's no biggie, but then I have to add freight and duty, would be close to the cost of the conversion kit). I also have to purchase a couple of other bits, which drive the price up even more.
I am in dire need of teaching the people of this country what real BBQ is all about as well as being able to get my "Fix" whenver I get the hunger...which is usually every week.
A few years ago I visited a nice littel palce in Austin called Stubb's. :) I was in town for a couple of days and coupldn't get enough of them "Pig Cicles".
Can someone please help?
Cheers
Scott
