Heavy duty
Great bbq, easy to clean. Love the big resting tray on top. Only issues it didn't come with a T connector for the gas for the side hot plate so there is an added extra cost there.

New Beefeater BBQ
We had to wait about 4 months to receive delivery after buying and paying for it This was very annoying It was delivered and the Good Guys delivered to up to our house 47 steps they didn't complain they were good Assembling it was time consuming and the holes for the screws were a little too tight and had to be redrilled slightly larger to allow being able to be screwed all the way down The final setup is a lovely BBQ and it was replacing an identical one I had for many years in short a lovely BBQ wouldn't buy anything else

At a glance
The BeefEater 1200 Series 5 Burner BBQ & Trolley is a freestanding gas BBQ designed for family cooking and larger outdoor gatherings. It suits households wanting generous cooking space, a practical side burner and easy mobility. Cast iron cooking surfaces and a roasting hood support versatile grilling and roasting. One limitation is that it carries a more basic feature set and finish than premium built-in or higher-end stainless models.

Entertaining suitability
Excellent for medium to large gatherings
Family size fit
Best suited to medium to large families
Outdoor space compatibility
Best for patios, alfresco areas and backyards with enough room for a freestanding trolley BBQ
Ease of cleaning score
7/10 - drip tray helps with oil collection, but cast iron cooking surfaces still need regular care.
Portability rating
8/10 - lockable castor wheels make repositioning straightforward for a full-size trolley BBQ.
Key benefits
- Five burner cooking: gives you the capacity to cook multiple foods at once for larger family meals and gatherings.
- Side burner: lets you prepare sauces, stir fries or side dishes without leaving the BBQ area.
- Roasting hood with temperature gauge: helps you roast and monitor heat without constantly opening the lid.
- Viewing window: allows you to check cooking progress while keeping more heat inside.
- Cast iron grills and hotplate: retain heat well for consistent searing and reliable cooking across different foods.
- Flame tamer: spreads heat more evenly across the cooking surface for more balanced results.
- Cabinet trolley storage: gives you a practical place to keep BBQ accessories and essentials close by.
- Lockable castor wheels: make it easier to move the BBQ for cleaning or entertaining, then secure it in place.
Q: Can this BBQ sit close to a wall on a patio?
A: Yes. The roll-away hood design lets this BBQ sit closer to a wall than a hood that lifts straight back. It still needs open outdoor placement and sensible clearance around the sides and rear, so it is not a flush-against-the-wall design.
Q: Is the side burner useful for more than just heating sauces?
A: Yes. The side burner is handy for sauces, stir fries and side dishes while the main burners handle meat or veg on the grill. It adds flexibility, but it does not replace a full indoor cooktop if you need several pans going at once.
Q: Will this suit a small courtyard or compact outdoor area?
A: It can, if the space comfortably fits a full freestanding trolley BBQ and allows safe airflow around it. This model is better suited to patios, alfresco areas and backyards than very tight spaces where movement and ventilation are limited.
Q: Does the viewing window really help when roasting with the hood down?
A: Yes. The viewing window and hood temperature gauge let you check progress without lifting the lid as often, which helps keep heat more stable for roasting. It is useful for monitoring, but it does not replace opening the hood when food needs turning.
Q: How hard is the cast iron cooking surface to look after?
A: Cast iron holds heat well, but it needs more routine care than a lighter, lower-maintenance surface. Regular cleaning, drying and a light coat of oil help protect it, so it suits buyers happy to do basic upkeep between cooks.
Q: Can it handle both weeknight cooking and bigger family BBQs?
A: Yes. BeefEater BMG1251SB has five main burners plus a side burner, so it can split the cooking area for different foods and timings. That makes it practical for quick meals as well as larger gatherings, provided outdoor space is not too tight.
