Care & maintenance

Treat the book like any frequently used cookbook: keep it away from direct heat and heavy grease, wipe hands before turning pages when possible, and store in a dry spot. Because many recipes involve marinades and sauces, photocopy or bookmark the favourites for outdoor use.

Using the book with your grill

• Read the method fully before you start and prepare all ingredients.
• Follow fuel and temperature notes for each recipe to match the intended result.
• Make use of the regional tips to vary rubs, wood choice and sauce balance.

Choosing the right option

If you're comparing options in this range, focus on how it will fit your space, how often you’ll use it, and what matters most day-to-day. For many households, the best choice is the one that’s easy to live with — straightforward to use, simple to keep looking good, and suited to Australian conditions. When you’re weighing up your shortlist, consider your layout, traffic flow, and whether you want something that’s more entertaining-focused or more everyday practical. If you’d like a second opinion, our team can help you narrow it down based on your space, style and how you plan to use it. A quick way to decide is to ask: does “this barbecue” describe what you’re actually trying to achieve in your outdoor area? Once you’re clear on the goal, this barbecue becomes much easier to compare across different options and configurations.
