Made a free BBQ field guide for Aussie conditions — brisket, pulled pork, ribs etc with actual temps and timings, not just vibes

Been deep in the smoker rabbit hole for a while and got sick of guides written for American cuts, American ovens, and American gear that isn't sold here. So I built my own reference site — Low & Slow.

What's in it:

- Cook guides for brisket, chuck, beef ribs, pulled pork and ribs — temps, timing, stall notes, rest times

- A run of sides (beans, mac and cheese, corn, cornbread, slaw, pickled onion)

- A wood flavour reference

- Gear reviews using stuff actually available in Australia (Bunnings links etc), not US-only products

It's free, no login, just a practical reference I wanted to exist. Would genuinely appreciate any feedback — especially if something's off on timing/temps, or if there's a cut or side you reckon is missing.

Heyy im looking for smoke up shesh with like minded people

Should I invest in a firebox upgrade for the Oklahoma Joe highland I’ve had for 15 years or should I invest that money into a better offset? The firebox that comes default isn’t very well insulated it’s also smaller than ideal because I use split logs so I have to cut the logs down to size to fit anyway.

I’ve been reading about how nicotine is mostly produced in the roots of Nicotiana and then transported up into the leaves. There are also documented cases of grafting tomato and other Solanaceae onto tobacco, and the scion ends up with measurable nicotine.
This got me wondering: has anyone experimented with grafting more aromatic or traditionally smoked nightshades (especially Cestrum nocturnum / lady of the night, or other fragrant Nicotiana species) onto regular tobacco roots?
The idea would be to keep the high nicotine from the rootstock while hopefully getting a smoother or more pleasant-smelling leaf from the scion.
Has anyone actually tried this? Did the graft take? And if you cured/smoked any of the resulting leaf, how did it turn out compared to normal tobacco?
Curious about both successes and failures. Any tips on technique for these kinds of softwood grafts would also be appreciated.
Thanks!
