{"title":"BBQ, Smokers \u0026 Accessories","description":"\n\u003cp\u003eCooking outside is close to a national habit, and the gear you choose shapes how you do it. A charcoal grill for quick weeknight cooking, an offset smoker for a slow Sunday brisket, a pellet grill that holds temperature while you get on with something else. All of it earns its place in a Queensland backyard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4 style=\"font-weight: 500; font-size: 17px; letter-spacing: 0.3px; color: #5a5044; margin: 34px 0 10px;\"\u003eChoosing the Right BBQ or Smoker\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eStart with how you actually cook. Charcoal gives the flavour and the heat for searing, and it suits people who enjoy the process. Pellet grills run on wood pellets with electronic temperature control, so you set a temperature and it holds it, which is what makes long smokes practical without babysitting a fire. An offset smoker separates the firebox from the cooking chamber for true low and slow barbecue, and it rewards a bit of patience. Multi function units combine a fire pit, a grill and a table, which suits a smaller yard where one piece has to do several jobs. Think about the cooking area against how many people you feed, and where the unit will live, since anything charcoal or pellet fired needs clearance and a non combustible surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4 style=\"font-weight: 500; font-size: 17px; letter-spacing: 0.3px; color: #5a5044; margin: 34px 0 10px;\"\u003eKey Things to Look for\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFuel type:\u003c\/strong\u003e charcoal for flavour and control, pellets for set and forget, gas for speed.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCooking area:\u003c\/strong\u003e matched to how many people you feed, not to the size of the yard.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTemperature control:\u003c\/strong\u003e vents and dampers on charcoal, digital control on pellet grills.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBuild and thickness:\u003c\/strong\u003e heavier steel holds heat steadier and copes with wind.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePortability:\u003c\/strong\u003e wheels for moving it around, compact designs for camping and touring.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMulti function:\u003c\/strong\u003e fire pit, grill and table combinations for smaller spaces.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCover:\u003c\/strong\u003e a fitted cover, since weather is what kills outdoor cooking gear.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch4 style=\"font-weight: 500; font-size: 17px; letter-spacing: 0.3px; color: #5a5044; margin: 34px 0 10px;\"\u003eWhat You Will Find in This Collection\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCharcoal grills and offset smokers, multi function fire pit, grill and table combinations in two, three and four in one designs, portable smart wood pellet grills, a charcoal spit rotisserie, a portable charcoal and propane grill with cart, and a wood burning camp stove with chimney.

Never use a charcoal grill or smoker inside a house, garage, tent, caravan or an enclosed patio, and never bring one indoors to keep warm or to finish cooking. Use it outdoors with open air around it, and let coals cool fully outside before disposal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\n\u003cdetails style=\"border-bottom: 1px solid #e5ddd2; padding: 14px 0;\"\u003e\n  \u003csummary style=\"cursor: pointer; font-weight: 400; font-size: 16px; color: #3a3226;\"\u003eWhat is the difference between a grill and a smoker?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n  \u003cp style=\"margin: 12px 0 0; line-height: 1.6; color: #554c40;\"\u003eGrilling is hot and fast with the food directly over the heat, suiting steaks, sausages and burgers. Smoking is low and slow with indirect heat and wood smoke over several hours, which is what breaks down tougher cuts like brisket and pork shoulder. Many units here do both.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\n\u003cdetails style=\"border-bottom: 1px solid #e5ddd2; padding: 14px 0;\"\u003e\n  \u003csummary style=\"cursor: pointer; font-weight: 400; font-size: 16px; color: #3a3226;\"\u003eHow does a pellet grill work?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n  \u003cp style=\"margin: 12px 0 0; line-height: 1.6; color: #554c40;\"\u003eAn auger feeds compressed hardwood pellets into a burn pot and a fan controls combustion, so a controller holds the temperature you set. It needs mains power to run. The result is wood smoke flavour with the convenience of an oven, which is why they suit long cooks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\n\u003cdetails style=\"border-bottom: 1px solid #e5ddd2; padding: 14px 0;\"\u003e\n  \u003csummary style=\"cursor: pointer; font-weight: 400; font-size: 16px; color: #3a3226;\"\u003eCharcoal, pellet or gas?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n  \u003cp style=\"margin: 12px 0 0; line-height: 1.6; color: #554c40;\"\u003eCharcoal gives the best flavour and the highest searing heat, but takes time to light and manage. Pellets give consistent temperature and good smoke with minimal attention, though they need power. Gas is fastest to start and easiest to clean, with less flavour. Choose based on how much you enjoy the process.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\n\u003cdetails style=\"border-bottom: 1px solid #e5ddd2; padding: 14px 0;\"\u003e\n  \u003csummary style=\"cursor: pointer; font-weight: 400; font-size: 16px; color: #3a3226;\"\u003eHow much cooking space do I need?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n  \u003cp style=\"margin: 12px 0 0; line-height: 1.6; color: #554c40;\"\u003eFor a family of four, a modest grill area is plenty. If you regularly cook for a crowd, size up, since crowding the grill drops the temperature and everything steams instead of searing. For smoking, what matters more is having room to keep food away from the direct heat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\n\u003cdetails style=\"border-bottom: 1px solid #e5ddd2; padding: 14px 0;\"\u003e\n  \u003csummary style=\"cursor: pointer; font-weight: 400; font-size: 16px; color: #3a3226;\"\u003eHow far from the house should it sit?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n  \u003cp style=\"margin: 12px 0 0; line-height: 1.6; color: #554c40;\"\u003eWell clear of walls, eaves, timber decking, fences and anything overhead, and never under a low pergola or shade sail. Stand it on a stable non combustible surface. Radiant heat and stray embers are the risk, and synthetic turf, decking oil and outdoor rugs all mark or melt readily.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\n\u003cdetails style=\"border-bottom: 1px solid #e5ddd2; padding: 14px 0;\"\u003e\n  \u003csummary style=\"cursor: pointer; font-weight: 400; font-size: 16px; color: #3a3226;\"\u003eWhat wood pellets should I use?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n  \u003cp style=\"margin: 12px 0 0; line-height: 1.6; color: #554c40;\"\u003eFood grade hardwood pellets only, never heating pellets, which contain binders not meant for cooking. Apple and cherry are mild and suit pork and poultry, oak is a good all rounder, and hickory and mesquite are stronger and better with beef. Keep pellets sealed and dry, since damp pellets swell and jam the auger.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\n\u003cdetails style=\"border-bottom: 1px solid #e5ddd2; padding: 14px 0;\"\u003e\n  \u003csummary style=\"cursor: pointer; font-weight: 400; font-size: 16px; color: #3a3226;\"\u003eDo I need to season a new BBQ?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n  \u003cp style=\"margin: 12px 0 0; line-height: 1.6; color: #554c40;\"\u003eYes, for anything with steel grates or a steel cooking chamber. Run it empty at temperature for a burn off to clear manufacturing residue, then oil the grates lightly. It protects against rust and stops food sticking from the first cook.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\n\u003cdetails style=\"border-bottom: 1px solid #e5ddd2; padding: 14px 0;\"\u003e\n  \u003csummary style=\"cursor: pointer; font-weight: 400; font-size: 16px; color: #3a3226;\"\u003eHow do I stop it rusting?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n  \u003cp style=\"margin: 12px 0 0; line-height: 1.6; color: #554c40;\"\u003eA fitted cover and keeping it dry does most of the work, and in coastal or bayside air that matters more than inland. Clean out ash after each cook, since ash holds moisture against the steel, and oil the grates after cleaning. Store it undercover through a wet season if you can.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\n\u003cdetails style=\"border-bottom: 1px solid #e5ddd2; padding: 14px 0;\"\u003e\n  \u003csummary style=\"cursor: pointer; font-weight: 400; font-size: 16px; color: #3a3226;\"\u003eHow do I dispose of ash safely?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n  \u003cp style=\"margin: 12px 0 0; line-height: 1.6; color: #554c40;\"\u003eCoals can stay hot for well over a day after they look dead. Let ash cool completely, or douse it with water, then put it in a metal container rather than a plastic or wheelie bin. Ash bins going into wheelie bins is a common cause of bin and shed fires.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\n\u003cdetails style=\"border-bottom: 1px solid #e5ddd2; padding: 14px 0;\"\u003e\n  \u003csummary style=\"cursor: pointer; font-weight: 400; font-size: 16px; color: #3a3226;\"\u003eCan I use one at a campsite?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n  \u003cp style=\"margin: 12px 0 0; line-height: 1.6; color: #554c40;\"\u003ePortable charcoal and camp units are made for it, but check local fire restrictions before you travel.
