'BBQ transformation 2020 ?? Research only

Are these the BBQs of the past?

 

 I know that this is male territory and perhaps I shouldn't go there but...

This is not a 'takeover' tactic - it's RESEARCH.  Why do I need to know! 

 'ALFRESHCO - foreshore flavour'  is a historical and elusive search for an Australian Cuisine, given that we have access to wonderful local produce.  

Picnics are featured and BBQ's of course; it is acknowledged that Aussies try to claim the BBQ as our own, where it is considered traditional, if not sacred.  Therefore, I need to keep up with trends  -  will this more portable trend create more balcony space and perhaps more taste???  

A recent article by Richard Cornish, informed how "The great Aussie barbie is undergoing a transformation.  Those hefty, hooded gas-burning behemoths?? are being pushed aside by a wave of charcoal-fuelled grills, mostly portable."  

 Jumbuck Mini Spit Society

A charcoal barbeque that has a fan page with 12,000 Facebook followers.   Jumbuck society founder, Matt "Crackleman" Jackson says   "There is something about smoke, fire and cooking meat that brings people together."
There's too much to research in one post and there are important tips such as "You do not want lots of white smoke coming off the charcoal.  that is unburned fat that will form a bitter, sooty layer on your food."
So, I'll continue to document my research and pass it on.  Your thoughts on this would be valued.
