New Yoder Wichita in Melbourne Australia

Hi everyone,
Just a quick email on the arrival of my new pride and joy to Lara, Victoria in Australia - a (nearly fully loaded) Wichita.
I have been cooking with a Kamado Joe for about 18 months and felt it time to graduate to an offset smoker and I couldn't be happier.
There's some great resources on this site, incl. Fire Management which is something new (compared to the Kamado).
I'm on my fourth cook, focusing on running a clean hot fire (great link on Fire Mgmt on this site) and I'm getting a deep smoke ring, without any bitterness or off flavours.
BBQ is a little different here in Australia as imported Hickory and Mesquite are *way* too expensive, but we have some local hardwoods (red gum, grey box) that are working out very well.
So just a quick intro, and looking forward to reading posts on this site and perfecting the art of BBQ.
Cheers, Wayne.
