[chilliman64]

I think it's part of the rotisserie

[bentalphanerd]

I think it's part of the rotisserie

lol yup that makes sense :doh:

[stillmanz]

Yep thats the rotisserie rail you can see above the side gas burner in the bad night photo. I love this bbq the grill is one of the best I have ever worked on and I've workedin a lot of char pubs and restuarants I love the plates. easy to cook on easy to clean. Its the best "early" christmas present I can remember.

[POTAWIE]

Spoken like someone who has never been here :P Here we actually call them 'prawns' & the best I've seen were caught fresh off Nth Stradbroke Island and were 7 to the kg (about 3 prawns to the lb)...they were like steaks :drooling:

[chilliman64]

we do like bbq'd seafood in OZ but I don't think it's as popular as Paul Hogan has made everyone believe

[billyboy]

Except maybe, freshly caught off the trawlers headless green medium king prawns @ 20bucks a kilo, done in freshly picked chopped chilli on the BBQ!

[bentalphanerd]

...then theres that w/end I spent in Yamba where the trawlers come in...mmmm $4/kg

[chilliman64]

mmmmmmmmmm... fresh prawns rule!

[stillmanz]

Did I mention I own a seafood cafe/takeaway you poor fish Junkies LOl
...heres "I'm waiting for the man" playing off in the distance.

...what you need I can get it (if you can get to Sandgate that is lol)

Mick

[chilliman64]

now that's a bit below the belt

I like your style!

[bentalphanerd]

How is 'Blue' coping with the stress of going from showroom floor to workaholic?

[stillmanz]

I love Blue...he's like a good working dog.. always up formore. We tried the rotiserrie (jerk chicken) its awesome I have a friend from Jamaica whoes comming over for my jerk chicken. gotthe smoker amd marinade ready.


When I grow up I'm going to move to the Northern territory and open a jerk and ribs bar

[bentalphanerd]

[stillmanz]

Butch

[stillmanz]

That sounds good - Unfortunately I'm going to be doing it tough on a deserted beach just north of Hervey Bay eating fresh caught fish & hopefully a few muddies. *Sigh* oh well.
You're welcome to come up & visit for a day or two if you get the time.
