Need help ozbargainers,
The wife has give me a budget of $2000 for a new bbq. So many brands that say their the best! (I’m not a Weber fan)
So what I want is:
4-6 burners
Side burner
Back strip (for a spit)
Natural gas
Any advice would be great. Im based in Sydney if it helps.
Thanks!
She's probably cheating on you to let you spend that much on a bbq
Personally, BBQ’s are pretty basic things, which more or less utilise a hot plate rather than specific fan forced cooking technology. If I had $2K as a budget for a barbie I’d probably get a decent one second hand, and either save the rest, or go on a holiday, or something. It’s not to say that I’m trying to say that you’re wrong for wanting a good barbie, no I completely understand, I’m just saying that I think they’re a bit overpriced for what they are, and you can get something quite good for not that much outlay.

I did find a place years ago in Sydney (online) that sold Japanese grade BBQ plates. You will never cook things better than on a quality plate and it will last a lifetime.
Unless you run a Texas BBQ restaurant you’ll never use all the features of a $2000 BBQ. Be smart and visit a good specialist store that will guide you through this decision.
New to this site but really a bargain site spending $2000 on a BBQ ? I picked up a BBQ on hard verge collection never been used now
in second summer just added a gas bottle !!
kamado joe
it ticks none of your requirements but its going to better than whatever gas burner you spend 2k on ;)
Seconded that or a green egg
Charcoal is superior taste to gas and you can do so much more with it
Go a beef eater
I think your budget is too small for all the features you want- especially if you are going for the latest tech with radiant quartz burners
Mate I was in the same situation. Tossed up on the Ziegler & Brown Turbo Classic and the Bunnings Matador 6 Burner Titan Hooded BBQ With Side Burner. Lots of love and hate for the Ziegler. Product reviews ranged from best ever to hating it. I ended up going for the Titan and I'm really happy with it. Generates a consistent high heat, natural gas conversion kit available in store (even though they say they aren't). Allow 4+ hours for assembly if you get one.
Visit a Tucker BBQ outlet and you might get some change for $2k
Save $1500 and buy something a bit simpler?
