Warehouse gascraft bbqs

Hey all,

As fart as cheaper bbq's go, gas craft are one of the better options. They used to be NZ made, not so sure now..
Jumbuck ones seem to be crappy and dont last.
Just keep it out of the weather when not in use.

I have a gas craft 4 burner bbq with hood. Now 4-5 years old and rusted badly. almost dead. I live near the beach (lyall bay wgtn) so this is probably expected. Cost $400 so $100 per year. Requires scrubbing on the cast iron grill and the coating has come off (sometimes on food if not scrubbed). All in all I think it's ok for $400. Will replace with another $400 bbq rather than expensive jobbie. Temp control is good for hot smoking and slow cooking as well as grilling. 

Depends how often you are going to use it, I bought a BBQ in 05(Think it cost me $450)  had to bin it at easter last year, however we BBQ all year round, in the summer almost everyday and winter mainly weekends and the old thing was not covered over and we lived next to the sea.

I never, never ever cleaned it and every so often it would catch fire and burn all the crap , one day when it was on fire the temp gauge went off the scale (never worked again), the wood side trays caught fire, the food was f----- , and had to turn it off and spray the wood with water

I now have a new cheapish one, a jumbuck 4 burner bought for me a pressy from a dear friend and I have decided to look after it. After few times of  use i give the plates a scrub down and a quick wipe down.

A couple of tips to stop the black surface peeling off spray it well with oil before heating it and buy cheap cat litter to put in the tray to catch the crap, wish i had known this year ago.

Unless you want to pay mega $ go for it

hope this helps
