Over the last couple of years, BBQ meat smoking is becoming more popular with more Australians trying to replicate the delicious smokey flavours they experience American BBQ restaurants in their very own backyards.

And who can blame them!
There's something primal about a piece of meat cooking low temperatures under 120 degrees for 12 hours over fire. It brings out the primal caveman in all of us!
 
The problem that a lot of our customers have when they delve into looking at BBQ meat smokers is that there are so many different types available, the choice can be a bit overwhelming.
