The fantastic Redesdale Tavern Camp Oven (aka Dutch oven) Cook Off held on September 6th from 11am to 5pm will be fuelled by Heat Beads® BBQ Briquettes.

Everyone is encourage to form teams, devise a plan to decorate their ’site’ in the most inventive fashion (prizes are offered) and work on those secret recipes to win over the judges. As in previous years, the tavern will be providing the teams with basic ingredients: lamb or beef, carrots, onions and potatoes.

The Redesdale Tavern is situated just an hour and a half from the Melbourne CBD so if you’re on the Calder Highway/Bendigo region, why not come along?

The Aussie BBQ Ban in Beijing
Internet access isn’t the only thing that is hard to come by in Beijing at the moment. With the opening ceremony of the 2008 Olympics just two days away, the great Aussie BBQ has been banned!

The Australian Olympic team has been told its traditional team bonding BBQ will have to wait until London. This is due to fears that the pollution in Beijing would seriously contaminate food cooked outside – and its not only food cooked outside! Even taking warm meat that has been cooked inside is not permitted to be eaten outdoors. This great tradition has now been reduced to cold meats and salad! John Coates, the head of the Australian Olympic team said, ‘it might be false or misleading to call it a barbecue…we aren’t able to cook meat outside the dining room’ (http://www.news.com.au/heraldsun/beijing_olympics/story/0,27313,24116320-5017275,00.html).
