Great BBQ
Bought as a replacement for a 20 year old beefeater signature , these bbqs last a billion years and dont rust which is perfect for coastal homes. This bbq is cheaper than the Signature but I have not noticed a difference with our basic cooking. Very happy with it, the enamel coating is why I choose these bbqs.

At a glance
This built-in 4 burner LPG BBQ is a solid choice for households creating a permanent outdoor kitchen and wanting strong everyday grilling and roasting performance. Its cast iron burners, roasting hood window and warming tray make it well suited to family meals and casual entertaining. It offers good value for a built-in model, but it is less flexible than a freestanding BBQ and needs planned bench installation.
What it’s great for
- Family BBQs
- Outdoor Entertaining
- High-Heat Grilling
- Roasting
- Built-in Outdoor Kitchens
Where it works best
- Permanent Outdoor Kitchens
- Covered Alfresco Areas
- Family Patios
- Entertaining Areas
Who it’s for
- Home Entertainers
- Families
- Renovators
- Outdoor Kitchen Planners
- Regular BBQ Cooks
Things to consider
Because it is a built-in LPG model, it requires a suitable bench cavity and ventilation planning, and it is not as portable or reconfigurable as a freestanding BBQ.
Entertaining suitability
High - suited to family meals and casual entertaining with four burners and a warming tray
Family size fit
Medium to large families
Outdoor space compatibility
Best for permanent outdoor kitchens and built-in alfresco installations
Ease of cleaning score
7/10 - drip tray and porcelain enamelled surfaces help, though cast iron parts still need regular care
Portability rating
1/10 - built-in design is intended for fixed installation rather than moving around
Key benefits
- 4 Cast Iron Burners: Four burners provide flexible cooking zones for grilling multiple foods at once.
- 75MJ/hr Output: Strong total heat output supports searing steaks and handling larger family cooks.
- Double Layer Roasting Hood: Helps retain heat for roasting thicker cuts and more even hood-down cooking.
- Glass Viewing Window: Lets you check progress without lifting the lid and losing as much heat.
- Integrated Temperature Gauge: Makes it easier to monitor cooking temperature while roasting or grilling.
- Quartz Start Ignition: Delivers fast, straightforward burner lighting for quicker starts.
- Porcelain Enamelled Cast Iron Hotplate and Grills: Provides even heat with a durable cooking surface designed to resist rust.
- Bottom Drip Tray: Draws excess oil away from the cooktop to make cleanup simpler after use.
Q: Is this BeefEater BBQ designed for a permanent outdoor kitchen?
A: Yes. BeefEater BBG1240BB is a built-in LPG BBQ made for bench cavity installation, not a freestanding trolley setup. It suits a fixed outdoor kitchen where the cavity, gas connection and ventilation are planned before the BBQ is fitted.
Q: Can the four burners cook for a family BBQ service?
A: Yes. The four cast iron burners deliver 75MJ/hr in total, which suits cooking multiple foods across different zones at once. That makes it a practical fit for medium to large family meals rather than quick single serves.
Q: Can this built-in BBQ handle both searing and hood-down roasting?
A: Yes. BeefEater BBG1240BB combines high heat from its cast iron burners with a roasting hood, so it can sear steaks and cook thicker cuts under the lid. It is more flexible for mixed menus than a flat-plate-only outdoor cooker.
Q: Does the hood window actually help when roasting thicker cuts?
A: Yes. The glass viewing window lets you check progress without lifting the hood, so more heat stays inside during longer cooks. Combined with the double layer hood and temperature gauge, it is better suited to hood-down roasting than open-lid checking.
Q: How much upkeep do the cast iron grills need?
A: The porcelain enamelled cast iron grills and hotplate are built for even heat and added rust resistance, but they still need regular care. This model is easier to wipe down than bare cast iron, though it is not a low-maintenance stainless cooking surface.
Q: Will the warming tray reduce the main cooking area?
A: No. The roll away warming tray is designed to keep cooked food aside without taking over the main grill space while you finish the rest of the meal. It is useful for staged serving, though it is for holding food rather than high-heat searing.
Q: Is ignition on this model manual or push-button start?
A: This model uses quartz start ignition for fast burner lighting, so you are not relying on a separate hand-held lighter for normal start-up. It is a convenience feature, but the BBQ still needs the usual gas supply and safe lighting checks.
