Australians collectively spend millions of hours at BBQs every year, and the quality of the grill makes a direct difference to the food and the experience. A grill that heats unevenly, runs out of temperature under load, or rusts after one season is more frustrating than not having one.

Gas grills are the most popular choice in Australian suburban backyards. The ability to start, control and stop heat instantly suits casual cooking and families where timing matters. Modern gas grills with quality steel burners and a hood provide the high, controlled heat needed for a wide range of cooking — from a quick sear to indirect slow-roasting. Our gas grills range from compact 2-burner models for smaller balconies and patios through to generous 6-burner configurations with side burners, rotisseries and warming racks for serious outdoor cooking setups.

Charcoal grills produce cooking results that gas genuinely struggles to match — the high, dry heat and smoke contribute flavour that has driven charcoal BBQ culture globally. The trade-offs are preparation time (charcoal takes 20-30 minutes to reach cooking temperature) and mess (ash management). Kettle grills in the classic round design remain the most versatile charcoal format; kamado ceramic eggs are the premium end of charcoal cooking.

Portable grills — lightweight gas or charcoal designs that fold for transport — are purpose-built for camping, tailgating and beach trips, where Australian outdoor lifestyle demands a grill that goes where you go. Look for robust construction that handles transport without deforming.

Electric grills suit apartment balconies where gas and charcoal use may be restricted by building rules.
