Discover the Evolution of Australian BBQ Culture with BBQAroma
Since 2010, Australian barbecue culture has evolved significantly, paralleling the rise of the Australian dollar and increased travel to the USA. Aussies discovered and fell in love with authentic American-style low and slow BBQ, including smoked brisket, sweet BBQ pork ribs, and pulled pork butt.
Upon returning home, Australians craved the rich, smoky flavors of authentic BBQ. Initially, there were challenges, such as limited meat cuts, smoker pits, and hardwood varieties like Hickory, American Oak, and Mesquite. However, the BBQ scene quickly grew, with Adelaide hosting Australia's first BBQ event in 2012. The momentum continued in 2014 with Port Macquarie's competition and Melbourne's first US-sanctioned KCBS BBQ event in 2015. By 2016, major competitions spread across Australian cities and country towns, blending American BBQ with Australian tastes.
Top American smoker brands like Yoder Smokers, Green Mountain Grills, Bradley Smokers, and later the Big Green Egg Ceramic Kamado joined the Australian market, alongside local brands like Hark BBQ. Today, competition pitmasters and backyard enthusiasts alike still seek premium meat rubs, sauces, injectors, thermometers, smoking hardwoods & wood pellets to perfect their barbecuing ambitions.
