This is the second episode of Season Five. This season covers the 2019 Australian Competitive BBQ Circuit and includes recordings from some of the biggest and best festivals from all over this beautiful wide brown land of ours. In short, I'm going to be spending the year flying, driving, eating, walking and talking my way around Australia and I'm bringing you along for the ride! This episode is another first for me - this time it's Adelaide, South Australia. I drove from the Gold Coast up to Brisbane airport, flew down to Adelaide, spent two days at Up in Smoke and then did the reverse home again. It was a big weekend, but totally worth it. I'd seen Up in Smoke the last few years in other people's Facebook posts and had always wanted to get down there. This year there was a new promoter running the event, a new location, and a new partnership with the Let's Go Caravan and Camping Association. We had 30,000 people through the gates over the weekend and it was a fantastic opportunity to showcase some of the best BBQ in the country. Before we get started, I'd like to let you know that my new ebooks are now available on the website. There is the second edition of my well-loved '27 Lessons Learned from Competition BBQ' and also the deliciously new 'Bacon Manifesto'. The 'Bacon Manifesto' includes what you need to know about making bacon at home and then some incredible recipes to give you an idea of what to do with it. I'd also like to invite you to join us at the Smoking Hot Confessions Community on Facebook. If you're looking for a BBQ group full of open-minded people who just love to help each other out, the Smoking Hot Confessions Community is a great place to continue the conversation. Finally, however you're listening to this episode, please subscribe, rate and review the show. It really helps me spread that BBQ love. So without further ado, grab yourself a custard apple jaffle covered with crunchy toffee and something on ice and join me as I explore the Great Outdoors at Up in Smoke 2019!
