I just received an email telling me my expected gas bill for this year will jump from $1400 to $2000 pa.
I think we need to get used to higher prices for fossil fuels, the idea is to phase them out.
The stupidity is in aiming for net Zero when you still sell fossil fuels to other countries, if we are going to be a carbon neutral country then we need to stop selling fossil fuels.
That said, we are ideally suited to sell solar produced power and Hydrogen, methane is probably also an option.
As far as BBQ is concerned, I see a need for a versatile device with a variable heat source that uses fan, direct and indirect as well as infra-red. There are other ways to make the smoke.
The Ninja “Woodfire” is pushing in that direction, a couple of the BBQ Gurus have them for promotional purposes and like them (but of course, paid endorsement is dodgy as hell).
