🔥 BBQ & Outdoor Cooking

Australia has one of the highest per-capita BBQ ownership rates in the world, and for good reason — our summers demand outdoor cooking at scale. Whether you are feeding two or twenty, the right BBQ makes all the difference.

For Australian backyards, gas BBQs are the dominant choice: they light fast, run clean in our heat, and handle everything from a weeknight snag to a Sunday roast without the hassle of managing charcoal. Charcoal and kamado-style cookers have a passionate following for flavour, but expect to spend more time managing heat in our summers. Pellet grills offer a happy medium but require more maintenance and shelter from rain.

Price guides: budget gas models start around $150, solid mid-range units with two-burner setups sit $300–$600, and serious entertainer setups with four+ burners, side burners, and high-grade stainless run $800–$2,500+. If you are entertaining regularly, a quality three-burner gas BBQ in the $500–$800 range hits the sweet spot for Australian suburban backyards.
