Too hot to BBQ
Some like it hot. Well in Sydney it is now 107F at 1:30pm and expected to rise to 109F later this day. There are a number of out of control bush fires on out Eastern Seaboard. We have a total fire ban. So only enclosed BBQs but with the heat it better inside.

I thought you OZ guys where a hardy lot. that's a typical day 6-9 months out of the year in Tx. Pop a top and burn some meat mate.

Sizzlin'!! Over the summer I did a cook when in the triple digits and I much prefer to cook in the winter now. Its easier to stay warm than to stay cool!
|
I say this with all the love in the world for a fellow brethren: Sc)/!w You!
In "balmy" West Bend, Wisconsin we have a sweltering 32 degrees Fahrenheit as I speak. |
Blue took the thoughts right out of my head. You guys typically don't get a lot of wildfires out there? I figured that would be a typically seasonal thing. The heat sounds like what I'm used to dealing with. About 95º in the shade, but we do get a lot of humidity here... I imagine it's more of a dry heat where you are.

I cooked a pork butt in 33 degree weather with 30 mph gusts of wind today.
Windchill was 17 when the butt went on. I have bbq'd in temps over a hundred here and very humid. I live in Michigan......gotta go with the flow here. |
wait!! so the fire ban means you can't even BBQ?

The heat in Sydney is a humid heat. Today is likely to be the third highest on record. This evening I will be BBQing a marinated boned leg of lamb so I am not wimping it out altogether. Great sharing the responses - lots of fun for a new member. |

you can keep yer heat ! i get enough to last me till feb-march. then i start wanting the heat back. sorry to read about the fires.

My State, NSW, has 141 reported bush fires currently burning with over 40 out of control!!!!! We need a rain storm but that is unlikely soon.
Tasmania has been suffering from many fire for around a week with lots of homes lost. The Red Cross (always in action early) has an appeal running for the Tasmanian victims. Australia is a land of extremes! Bush fires, floods, feast and famine - and we like to play/follow many sports. Great place to live. |
I Live in Phx. Az and our summer temps are very similar ...I Love Firing the smoker in summer ..I get the most steady temps and good burn rates .
Its hot but Im amazed at the the steady temps the cooker holds. Hope you guys get those fires under control. |
Yeppers, I'm with ya, keep it to the evenigs in a nice covered/shaded area, Glad to hear you're not stopping the Q altogether, the lead-in almost scared me a little bit!:razz:
