The predominate choice is to go with an LPG cylinder but more and more customers are now connecting their barbeques to Natural Gas. Charcoal barbeques are also on a wave of popularity so keep them in mind as well.<\/p>\n<p><strong>PERFORMANCE<\/strong> \u2013 This is the \u201cLid Up or Lid Down\u201d area. Of course, when you\u2019re roasting it\u2019s Lid Down always, but who wants to always cook an amazing BBQ with the lid down? Make sure that the new BBQ can cook both ways.<\/p>\n<p><strong>CONSTRUCTION<\/strong> \u2013 With us living in a coastal (or close by) location what do you need the BBQ to be made of. Either full or part stainless steel? Will enamel be ok? Well all quality BBQs will stand the test of time, just like your car, you need to be mindful of the elements and still perform some routine care and maintenance.<\/p>\n<p><strong>BBQ SIZE<\/strong> \u2013 We don\u2019t all cook for a grand final size party every week but at least keep that family occasion in mind. Just make sure the new unit has burner options. And don\u2019t forget you will need a hood big enough for roasting<\/p>\n<p><strong>POWER<\/strong> \u2013 Most BBQs of quality now come with built in lights and 240V rotisserie options so it\u2019s best to think about its location.<\/p>\n<p><strong>HAPPY WIFE<\/strong> \u2013 More and more of the girls want meat cooked outside. No more cooking smells in the house. Fact! So, don\u2019t go light on with the options and quality. This should be a purchase that is looked at as equally as buying a new oven for inside.<\/p>\n<p><strong>AND WHAT ARE YOU COOKING<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>ON AT HOME?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>MIKE \u2013 I have a Gasmate Galaxy 6-burner for when the family head down. And a Beefeater Bugg is a fantastic BBQ for when there is just the two of us.<br \/>\nBRUCE \u2013 Well I\u2019m doing a lot of low and slow charcoal cooking on my Primo ceramic cooker now. Getting great brisket results and the grandkids love the pizza nights, plus a 4 burner Beefeater and like Mike a BUGG. You can\u2019t get a better portable BBQ than a Bugg as well.<\/p>\n<p>So, there you have a few tips. And most of all, the guys are happy for you to call in and talk \u201cabout\u201d anything BBQs, outdoor kitchens, and even heaters for both inside and out.<\/p>\n<p>Check out the Buschbeck outdoor heater while you are there! about barbeques &amp; fireplaces is at 31 Baines Crescent Torquay (next to the pool) or visit aboutbbqs.com.au.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>WITH BRUCE AND MIKE\u00a0FROM ABOUT BARBEQUES\u00a0&amp; FIREPLACES The time has finally come!
