Nice job on the Roo! It all looks so good.
Thanks,it is a good product but its taken a while to shake its pet food image. Char grilling is my favourite way to cook it I figure its just Aussie venison. We have millions of them truly millions,the only species allowed to be shot are Western Reds & Eastern Greys,all the wallabies are protected,good thing. 

In dry years theres a lot of road kill as they graze near roads,they also move right to the edge of country towns,onto golf courses anywhere theres green feed,army reserves,highschool fields you name it.Not much of a hunting challenge.
 
 
any updates on the camel?
Rang him during the week ,only burgers turned up . Hes got people who are howling at him that want pallets of boxed cuts so he is ringing Alice Springs every day.Its all killed ha'lal so our Arab community are big consumers.Im in a big Arab /Turkish suburb tomorrow because thats where they put Sydneys first Cosco! Canadian wife wants to go see. I will have a snoop around & see if theres anybody holding out with some hidden away. But I  want a cut that gets close to a beef cut so I  can do something that you guys can relate to. 

I will post as soon as it lands.

cant wait to see the results of this smoke. plz dont forget to qview this
I will Qview it I just need the camel catchers of the central desert to get off their ### & catch us some camel. Camel dude is getting his balls busted by all the ha'lal butchers in Sydney who are out of stock with holidays approaching. I dont want ground meat,I figure that you guys would prefer to see a cut like brisket,chuck or sirloin that is a bit of a challenge. Ground is going to be from big camel not recommended.

We are having a wet year so camels are harder to catch,thats what Im being told but then again its the same sort of reasoning you get from fisherman

. I will post when I  get my hands on it.

Not to hijack this thread, but Camel meat is widely available here, so this weekend I will see if I can smoke some up for you guys who have been waiting on results. I may do Camel Burgers as I have never eaten it just to give it a try.

Picture from the local market "Camel Section", also next to this is Bison which is eaten heavly by the Indian community.

Camel here is $3.69 per Kilogram

Mate go right ahead & good luck with it. I got dicked around something shocking down here.Part of it is definitely weather related its been really wet so camels are dispersed & harder to catch.I dont know how much of the story I got was legit .I was pretty excited about it then just got excuse after excuse.
 
So it is Aussie Shariz with Roo, what wine with Camel?
Good question! So much of Middle East is no alcohol but the shiraz grape supposedly came from Persia way back. I might try a blend what we call here a GSM ,grenache ,shiraz. mataro or something with a Spanish feel ,maybe grenache,temperanillo,touriga,shiraz mix. I have absolutely no scientific or historical basis they are just grape varieties that grow in relatively hot dry climates.You could also go with a diavalo nero from Sicily or what you guys call zinfandel & Italians call primitivo.

Looking forward to what comes next.

Hijack away mate you can get it way easier than me despite the promises made by suppliers here. Good luck looking forward to your efforts.

Thanks, I know allot of people get offended when their threads are hijacked. Let you guys have an update this weekend.
 
You are better placed to do it than me. Camel here is caught in the wild in the central deserts. Calmed down for a week or so then killed then processed .This all happens a hell of a long way from me. We have had completely off the scale rainfall nation wide its bucketing now,flooding evacuations in some places etc.Its made the wild harvest very difficult  also our dollar is pretty strong making the export trade difficult.

I do whats around me here

both in product & cooking styles rather than just imitate the stuff that the guys in the states do.Except bacon I love doing the bacon.

 And I will do ribs.No brisket to speak of here anyway & no tradition of American BBQ be it Carolina"s ,Kansas City or Texas style.  A lot of good raw material & good kitchens ,a big melting pot of ethnicities just like the States but different mix.

Anyway go get em on the camel. Im down the coast for a few days checking on my weekender for storm damage.So I will get back in front of computer on 5th.
 
Go to Google search engine, type in camel recipes, they have quite a few or at least you'll get some ideas or leads.  One interesting one is, whole cooked camel.  I'd like to see the size of the cooker for that one.  LOL.

This is a Moroccan tradition, hell they stuff the camel with whole lamb, and stuff the lamb with veggies. I would love to see it in action, but the process is beyond my current capabilities. Camels in the GCC are very expensive, some sell for upwards of a million USD.
