Best Gas BBQs

got ours on sale, works like a charm adn definitely got our money's worth. Shame it has been raining so much, but we use it to grill steaks and smoke every now and then. Meat comes out very succulent and juicy. Show details

Like many others have mentioned my Weber q2000 frame also melted and distorted during a fat fire when cooking a roast last night. It’s such a shame… Read more

as the rest of the BBQ has given me fantastic value over the 6 years we have owned it. The cook box, lid and burners are still in fantastic condition. Without a doubt it’s the best bbq I have ever owned. I did replace the griddle once as they started to rust. The rust may have been my fault in the way I was cleaning it. It is a shame webers frames are not as sturdy as they rest of the bbq as being plastic they are a real melting point. Sadly the BBQ is not worth fixing as the plastic frame components are 220 delivered. A new Weber q 2000 starts at $529. 6 years has been a decent life I guess I acknowledge the fat fire is my responsibility but it shouldn’t melt that quick.

Never mind

The Crossray is a great concept but execution is lacking. I have found there is limited temperature control. It is either full hot or off and there… Read more

is no real temperature control to create a slow cook and yes I have turned the knobs down to low.

No matter what I try I just can not get a nice low heat. I end up having to turn burners off just to try and find a way around creating lower heat.

In essence it is not the best product of you want to control the temp, rather disappointing

Great bbq however the circular vent on the top of the charcoal lid wasn't a great seal which made in impossible to choke the grill (put out the the… Read more

charcoal), I mentioned this to customer support who resolved the problem for me, so if you feel that the top vent is too loose then id recommend reaching out to them. The customer support I received was great.

The barbeque module itself was great. No problem there. It does what it says on the tin. However, the trolly, which is bought separately, is made of… Read more

a fairly cheap and narrow gauge steel which is prone to rust around the feet. My unit was kept out of the weather for most of its life. I've had the bbq for about 2 years. During that time, the legs have rusted right through. My Webber, with plastic legs on the trolly is still going strong after a decade. If you buy one of these, keep a close eye out for rust.

Great portable BBQ suitable for small apartments or camping. Gets really hot and is pretty easy to setup and clean as well. Very impressed with the quality and construction. Show details

I recently purchased a Weber Genesis EP-335 from the Weber Moore Park SupaCenta store and wanted to share an honest account of my experience. … Read more

Firstly, the sales service was good. When my wife and I visited on 12 November, the staff were friendly, knowledgeable, and gave us confidence in the product. The store layout is great with a wide range of BBQs well displayed, and our initial interaction left us with a really positive impression of Weber.

I was originally told the store would price match, but when I returned on 28 November with a verified 15% offer from another Weber store, I was suddenly told they only match up to 10%. This inconsistency was disappointing and felt like a step back from the professionalism shown earlier.

Then, while free delivery was offered, I was told it wouldn’t be available for more than two weeks. Needing the BBQ sooner, I had to transport it myself, including removing and reinstalling child seats and wrestling a very heavy box (60-80kg) out of the car and into my backyard.

On emptying the box I spent hours trying to locate the bolts/screws to enable assembly. Weber Customer Support were terrific and make sure that I was supported. I have to take my hat off to the Weber Customer Support function who went above and beyond.

The Weber Genesis EP-335 is not an easy BBQ to assemble, so if you don't use the Weber service to assemble it for you, be prepared to spend a significant amount of time doing it yourself.

Really well made and easy to assemble. Awesome bbq for the price and the side burner is quite handy too Show details

The Everdure Force 2 is a great barbecue but unfortunately doesn't do the main thing I bought it for, slow cooking joints of meat. I need a… Read more

temperature of 110-130 C, but even using just one burner at the lowest setting the temperature soon climbed to 180-200 C. This is in Tasmania in March, temperature 15 C. So, it's back to my Bosch oven to complete the process. Disappointing !

veggies.

No flare ups, great flavour and good enough app for moisturising internal temp with probes.

Used the side burner a bit, rotisserie a couple of times (dual roast for large crowd) and enjoyed the simplicity and effectiveness of this unit.

Default cover ID getting some sun damage on Velcro.

Weber brush was crap. Bought a premiala bbq brush ($39 Australian company, from Amazon) as a replacement.

The lining of the cavity is melting, seriously that is coming up into my food that I’m cooking! It looks like plastic ffs! Show details

Might be a decent bbq but the base is an utter disgrace. Poor design and has taken me over an hour just to assemble the legs and they still aren’t… Read more

secure. No matter how hard I tighten the bolts the legs are all over the place. The instructions are a disgrace as well. I’ve had to google a better copy of the instructions. I’d recommend looking at other options.

The good and the bad review – The burners are ceramic with a glass dome which makes a great oven . I've cooked chicken and pork on the rotisserie and came out perfect. I also… Read more

cooked a cheese cake and puddings also great. But when cooking a steak, no good on the aluminium grill ( doesn't hold the heat to give the steaks that score makes ) the burners don't let out enough heat like the old one's. l cook my steaks and sausages in a skillet on the side burner. Also on the side burner the rack where the pot sits is too low on the flame, hard to regulate heat ( I raised the rack about 15mm perfect) The fire box is black enamel easy to clean, love it. The out side is stainless steel and also easy to clean ( I use a anti corrosion lubricant called Inox that you can buy from any boat shop ) The glass domes you must clean them after every cook otherwise the will stain and very hard to get off. I love my Ziegler and brown it looks great as a outdoor kitchen and cooks the the way I like it.

King of kings, this bbq is great in size and fabulous to work with. Kings go hard or go home Show details

I really wanted to like this BBQ beacuase it looks modern and stylish, but it’s been a major letdown. The heat distribution is terrible, it cooks… Read more

unevenly, with some areas way too hot while others barely heat up.You end up constantly shifting food around just to try and get things cooked properly, which takes the joy out of barbecuing. For the price, I expected much better design and performance.

Definitely not what I’d recommend if you’re after reliable, even cooking. Disappointing experience overall.

Modern and Party Centrepiece – I purchased one of the Alfresco 4 from Barbecues Galore a year ago and have been impressed with it's performance. Good all round heat with a hood… Read more

which allows you to slow cook roasts on a Sunday arvo. Cleaning and upkeep is a must as the stainless steel bar grills do brown and darken over time. A good purchase for the price I paid.

I've owned this Bbq fir almost 3 years now and ts brilliant. I have owned a weber too but this is next level – Cooks food very well hood or down the QRT burner make it easy to clean and no flare us Show details

A total disappointment – Extremely disappointed with this bbq. Over the years we have happily had similar-sized Jumbuck's, bought for a similar price and each has easily… Read more

lasted 2-3 years. Of course the black paint on the cooking plate gradually wore off but by keeping the surface oiled we had no problems.

We bought this early this year and the thick black paint on the plate started peeling immediately and now looks awful - it's horribly rusted where big 'scabs' have lifted off and oiling hardly makes any difference. This one is going to the dump.

Upgraded from a Weber Q to this model more like a downgrade from the beginning assembling it I found parts not marrying up and very primitive… Read more

alignment where joins needed to be forced. Then first use starter issues, Weber were good to post new starter unit without question possibly they knew this to be a design fault. On this subject the gas bottle sits on the axle so you can never get a proper reading of how much gas is left on the weigh scale. Weber has obviously done a lot of cost cutting as they have discontinued the grill thermometer. The most annoying thing are the wheels after moving it one metre the split pin falls of as does the plastic wheel cover, I took to it with a hammer tonight. As for heat do not cook on two burners you will have uncooked meats and uneven cooking you have to use all three burners even for small quantities. Overall this is the Jeep of BBQs you are buying a name no longer synonymous with quality. The model is built in China which might explain poor quality control.

We were given this BBQ with our caravan… I can now see why they were giving them away. We have been on the road for 10 months and believe I am… Read more

adequately informed and educated enough after using this to leave a review.

First problem - the slightest breeze it won’t get to temperature. If you open the lid the flame will go out. Makes it impossible to grill on in the wind.

Second Problem - un even cooking, centre back over cooked, left and right edges still raw.

Third Problem - if you are travelling you cannot get parts for this BBQ. Webber is sold everywhere including Bunnings.

Fourth Problem - cleaning, it has this unscrew drip tray with rubber seal. It’s nearly impossible to get off, then if the seal comes off when cleaning it’s take a forever to get back on.

Things I like… we’re nearly at the end of the trip and I won’t have to use it anymore.

It does light well, and has a lid locking feature.

Incorrect fitting – Gas fitting is incorrect as hose won't connect to it. Even the bloke at Bunnings acknowledged the issue and accepted the return and refunded. Gasmate… Read more

said they've looked into the issue and can't find a problem. I suggested that they send their sales representative to my local bunnings store to inspect the faulty item because there's obviously a faulty batch in circulation. No further replies from them. Disappointed.

Matador Titan 900 series after 5 years – Great BBQ, only 1 or 2 negatives, the rear burner is no good and I need to replace it, it is difficult to clean the fat tray. That being said great bbq for the dollar you pay. Show details

Cooks well, but rusts better – We had a Masport Supreme Plus for about 8 or so years. It cooks well, has nice features… buuut it’s a rust bucket. Even covered, it’s completely… Read more

rusted through - as in, the base has rusted clean off.

Also not the easiest BBQ to clean.

I would not recommend.

only, as soon as I unpacked it, I knew I was in for a frustrating time.

1. Contents packing list is wrong. It listed items which were not to be found because they had been pre-installed, clips to hold the lid on (searched everywhere) nuts to hold the wheels on were already on the axel.

2. The assembly instructions show you how to attach the lid/hood ( it was already attached).

3. It describes how there are 4 pre-installed screws and which need to be loose. However the bits which should be attached only have 2 keyholes so you have to remove the pre-installed screws for 2.

4. Trying to refit 2 of the screws the threads were damaged in the socket - I had to go to Bunnings to by 2 x M6 12mm screws as the 15mm were not able to be screwed in the whole way.

5. Fitting the axle was a joke, its tapered, not intentionally, just poor quality. I got it fitted and attached a wheel, so far so good. The second wheel the hole to the axle was not only off-centred, it didn't fit because the axle was thicker at this end. I had to drill out the hole in the wheel to get it to fit.

6. The little plugs to fit and cover screw holes are another joke, The holes are not centred and the hole too big so the plugs fall out.

7. The cutout to take a standard gas bottle (8.5/9Kg) is too small so you can't place the gas bottle underneath; you have to leave it to the side. You can't place it on the solid shelf to use as the heat shield is on the wrong side.

Overall the design is OK, but the quality of the components are awful.

No I don't recommend this product unless you love frustration.

Easy to assemble, arrives well packed and easy to unbox. Cooking on this BBQ is a pleasure, no hot spots and burner controls cover a wide range. Show details

line up perfectly). It does cook evenly and the slide out gas bottle holder is a nice touch. Feels a little cheap for the price. Fairly easy to clean. The 240V lights are good for cooking at night.
