At a glance
This built-in 4 burner gas BBQ is designed for outdoor kitchen installations and family entertaining, offering strong heat, a large 3840 cm2 cooking area and durable cast iron cooking surfaces. The viewing window and hood thermometer make roasting and lid-down cooking easier. It best suits permanent alfresco setups, but as a body-only built-in model it is not portable and requires cabinetry planning.

Things to consider
This is a body-only built-in BBQ, so it needs a suitable custom installation and does not include the mobility or all-in-one convenience of a freestanding trolley model.
Entertaining suitability
High - well suited to regular family meals and casual outdoor entertaining
Family size fit
Medium to large families
Outdoor space compatibility
Best for built-in alfresco kitchens and permanent outdoor cabinetry
Ease of cleaning score
7/10 - porcelain enamel coated cooking surfaces help with cleanup, though cast iron parts still need regular care
Portability rating
1/10 - built-in body-only design is intended for permanent installation rather than moving around
Key benefits
- 4 Burner Cooking System: Four separate burners let you run different heat zones for searing, grilling and gentler cooking at the same time.
- 3840 cm2 Cooking Area: The spacious cook surface gives you room to prepare multiple foods in one session for family meals or entertaining.
- Cast Iron Burners: Cast iron burners provide strong heat output for reliable everyday grilling.
- Porcelain Enamel Coated Cast Iron Grill And Hotplate: These cooking surfaces retain heat well and help resist rust for long-term use.
- Double Layer Rollback Hood: The rollback hood design helps the BBQ fit neatly into built-in spaces while supporting lid-down cooking.
- Glass Viewing Window: You can check on food without lifting the hood as often, helping maintain cooking temperature.
- Integrated Temperature Gauge: The hood-mounted gauge makes it easier to monitor roasting and slower cooks.
- Quartz One Start Ignition: Reliable push-start ignition helps get the BBQ going quickly each time you cook.
Q: What does body only mean for this built-in BBQ?
A: Body only means the barbecue unit is supplied for a built-in outdoor kitchen and is not a freestanding trolley BBQ. It suits custom cabinetry or masonry setups, so plan your bench cut-out, surrounding materials and gas access for a fixed installation.
Q: Can this BBQ sit close to a wall or splashback?
A: Yes. The rollback hood is designed so the BBQ can sit more snugly in a built-in layout without needing as much lid clearance behind it. It still needs appropriate heat-safe surrounding materials and space planned into the outdoor kitchen design.
Q: Is the cooking area large enough for family entertaining?
A: Yes. BeefEater BBG1640DA has a 3840 cm2 cooking area, which gives you room to cook mains and sides in one session for regular family barbecues. The four-burner layout and elevated warming rack also help when serving food in batches.
Q: Can you roast with the lid down on this model?
A: Yes. The double layer rollback hood, glass viewing window and integrated temperature gauge make lid-down cooking practical for roasts and slower cooks. You can monitor progress without lifting the hood and dumping heat each time you check the food.
Q: Are cast iron burners and grills hard to maintain?
A: No. The hotplate and grill are porcelain enamel coated cast iron, so they hold heat well and are made to resist rust better than bare cast iron. They still need regular cleaning and drying, especially in outdoor areas exposed to moisture.
Q: Does each burner adjust separately for different cooking zones?
A: Yes. Separate rotary knob controls let you adjust each of the four burners individually, so one side can run hotter for searing while another stays gentler for finishing or warming. That gives you more control than a single overall heat setting.
