DON'T Be a Silly Sausage!... you might want that tender smoky meat. But put the beads down.
It’s Friday. It’s a Total Fire Ban. It’s Catastrophic fire weather.
Somewhere, there is a mate staring lovingly at their offset smoker or weber. They are holding a bag of charcoal. They are thinking, "Low and slow isn't really a fire, is it?"
⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️STOP⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️
Let’s be crystal clear: Solid Fuel BBQs (Wood, Charcoal, Briquettes) are BANNED today. No exceptions. No "just a quick sear."
If it burns solid fuel, it stays cold. If you light it, we have to come over. And if we have to interrupt our lunch to put out your lunch, we won't be polite about it.
Gas or Electric? Maybe. But there are strict rules you need to follow (like having a hose ready and a clear area).
Solid Fuel? Absolutely not.
Check the rules before you turn a k**b or strike a match: 👉 https://www.cfa.vic.gov.au/warnings-restrictions/fire-bans-ratings-and-restrictions/can-i-or-cant-i
Do you know a silly sausage who needs to accept that today is their salad day. 👇
