Smaller, but Superior
I had a Beefeater 6 burner for close to 15 years and absolutely loved her, but the miles on the clock meant it was time to seek a new BBQ. The Beefeater 1200 4 burner might be smaller, but the individual grill plates are larger, so I'm really not losing that much cooking area. This is a very efficient beast and not overly difficult to put together, although the instructions for the gas connection section could be a bit clearer.

Beefeater 4 burner bbq
We owned a BeefEater bbq for almost 20 years and worked like a dream. We upgraded our outdoor area and thought it was time for a replacement. After reviewing all our options and viewing the latest range available we decided to purchase the new 4 burner with extra vegetable burner on he side with a trolley. Worked out perfect and very happy with the purchase and support provided by the Good Guys team.

Great everyday BBQ
We liked the size, the colour (black does not show marks as much as stainless steel finish), the lid was not too heavy and the cupboard is enclosed so that contents don't get dusty and is not a hiding place for snakes. A lot of other bbqs are fully open at the back.

Great, reliable BBQ - easy to set up and use
It was straight forward to build and use, good dispersion of heat, and side burner comes in handy.

Great style
The bbq has many features that are easy to access and easy to use. The metal rack inside is very handy for multiple uses. So far it is easy to clean 😊

At a glance
This full-size 4 burner gas BBQ is a strong choice for families and casual entertainers who want generous cooking space, a side wok burner and easy mobility on a trolley. Cast iron burners, a roasting hood and viewing window help with versatile outdoor cooking. Its main limitation is that it is geared to practical home use rather than premium barbecue enthusiasts seeking heavier-duty construction or advanced burner control.
What it’s great for
- Family BBQs
- Backyard Entertaining
- Weeknight Outdoor Cooking
- Grilling Meat and Vegetables
- Stir Fry Cooking
Where it works best
- Backyards
- Patios
- Alfresco Areas
- Courtyards
- Outdoor Entertaining Spaces
Who it’s for
- Family Households
- Home Entertainers
- Everyday Home Cooks
- First-Time BBQ Upgraders
Things to consider
It offers practical cooking performance and versatility, but premium BBQs may provide heavier construction, more refined heat zoning and longer warranty coverage.
Entertaining suitability
Well suited to family meals and small-to-medium backyard gatherings
Family size fit
Best for 3-6 person households
Outdoor space compatibility
Best suited to patios, courtyards and medium outdoor areas with room for a full-size freestanding BBQ
Ease of cleaning score
7/10 - drip tray and accessible cooking surfaces help, though cast iron components still need regular care
Portability rating
7/10 - trolley format and lockable castors make repositioning straightforward, but it remains a full-size BBQ
Key benefits
- 4 Cast Iron Burners: Four main burners provide ample cooking capacity for preparing multiple foods at once for family meals and small gatherings.
- 15MJ Burners: Powerful 15MJ cast iron burners help deliver strong heat for searing and consistent everyday grilling.
- Built-In Side Wok Burner: The side burner adds flexibility for stir fries, sauces or side dishes without taking up main grill space.
- Flame Tamer: Even heat distribution across the cooking surface helps reduce hot spots and supports more consistent cooking results.
- Roasting Hood with Temperature Gauge: The hood makes it easier to cook thicker cuts and roasts while monitoring heat more closely.
- Viewing Window: The large viewing window lets you check progress without lifting the hood and losing heat.
- Trolley with Lockable Castor Wheels: The freestanding trolley design makes the BBQ easier to move into position and secure when in use.
- Bottom Drip Tray: A bottom drip tray helps channel excess oil away from food and simplifies cleanup after cooking.
Q: Can this BBQ sit close to a wall on a patio
A: Yes. BeefEater BMG1241BB has a roll-away hood that lets the BBQ sit snugly against a wall, which helps in tighter outdoor layouts. It is still a full-size gas BBQ, so use it outdoors with airflow around the unit and nearby surfaces.
Q: Is the side burner only for wok cooking
A: No. The side burner works for wok cooking, but it is also useful for sauces, pans, and side dishes while the main grill stays free. It adds flexibility, though it does not replace the main cooking area when cooking a bigger barbecue spread.
Q: Are the cast iron burners strong enough for searing
A: Yes. BeefEater BMG1241BB uses 15MJ cast iron burners, which gives this BBQ solid direct heat for steaks, chops, and fast grilling. It is better suited to family meals and small gatherings than a larger entertaining setup.
Q: Does the viewing window make roasting easier on this model
A: Yes. The viewing window lets you check colour and progress without lifting the hood, which helps hold cooking heat more steadily. It is most useful for thicker cuts and roasts, rather than quick lid-up grilling where heat loss matters less.
Q: How difficult is the BMG1241BB to assemble at home
A: Assembly is intended to be straightforward, and the freestanding trolley design avoids any built-in cabinet work. You still need to allow setup time before first use, especially around the gas connection and the final safety check before lighting it.
Q: What care do the cast iron grill plates need
A: Cast iron holds heat well for grilling, but it needs regular cleaning and seasoning to stay in good condition. The bottom drip tray helps with excess oil, though the cooking surfaces still need more hands-on care than a simpler low-maintenance plate.
