Get Your Grill On

As you can see, we don’t mess about with the quality of our meat in Australia. If it’s good, it must be famous. If it’s hard to sell, it just might be famous too.

Here’s a quick quiz…can anyone name the odd meat out, and why? There are two possible answers, kudos to anyone who gets […]

My mate Leigh was peering over my shoulder as I wrote an article for Get Your Grill On. “I’ve got some pictures you can use” he said and downloaded pictures of one of his many campfire cookout breakfasts he and his mates regularly make by the bank of the mighty Murray river, Australia’s biggest and longest.

My nephew went fishing a couple of weeks ago and landed a whopper, a 3.5 kg salmon. He was never going to miss, fishing as he was in a trout and salmon farm at Buxton. Not only did the fish bite hard at his bait, it also bit hard at his parents wallet, costing a […]

Feeling peckish? Come over for a no fuss barbie. I’ll just nip outback and spear a kangaroo, then build a whopping great fire. No rubs or fancy marinades, in fact we don’t even bother to skin the beast (that’s him just behind the pile of coals, […]

In a recent post, I mentioned something about barbequed octopus and received an email about how to go about it. Well the first bit of advice I have concerning octopus is make sure it’s dead…very dead. There is a rather notorious post written by Eddie Lin of Deep End Dining that captures every wiggle and […]

A couple of weekends ago, we went to a barbeque at my wife’s sisters for which we bought the meat, some rump steak and a few bratwursts. When we all sat down to the steaks the compliments started rolling, not for me who cooked the steaks, but for the meat itself. It didn’t really surprise […]

I’ve got a friend who invites me to his place for a barbeque and says that there’ll be some steaks, bbq lamb chops and sausages and as a casual afterthought some chicken for the vegetarians! He’s not the sort of bloke to contaminate his grill with vegetables, which is kind of a pity for there […]

Sitting as we do at the bottom of the world, Australia is in a unique position due to our close proximity to South East Asia and our Western outlook on life. It is strange to realize that we are not as close to our near Northern neighbours as we are to say England or the […]

As barbequers, we love love to feed a crowd, right? We cook on our rigs with the love oozing through our bodies, constantly searching for new and better ways to prepare our food for families and friends, so that we can think to ourselves, we fed them and fed them well. What if I was […]

Editor’s Note: Get Your Grill On is going international, please welcome our newest writer Neil Murray from the “land down under.” I’m really looking forward to reading Neil’s articles. We’ve had some interesting email exchanges about barbeque in Australia. It’s very different from what I’m used to in New York. I’ve got so much […]
