Downunder Hotplate

A total disappointment – Extremely disappointed with this bbq. Over the years we have happily had similar-sized Jumbuck's, bought for a similar price and each has easily lasted 2-3 years. Of course the black paint on the cooking plate gradually wore off but by keeping the surface oiled we had no problems. We bought this early this year and the thick black paint on… Read more

the plate started peeling immediately and now looks awful - it's horribly rusted where big 'scabs' have lifted off and oiling hardly makes any difference. This one is going to the dump.

Easy to Clean BBQ – This BBQ is easy to use and easy to clean. The legs keep going wobbly though and need regular tightening. You can’t use any metal bbq utensils or scraper as it scratches really easily. We are going to build a bbq base and put the bbq on this and throw out the legs as they are dangerous. We also bought the lid (sold separately) but it needs a lip… Read more

on the inside so it can hang at the back of the bbq and be a splash back. Because it doesn’t, you need to put the lid somewhere when cooking.

a small bbq you can take anywhere – We needed a bbq that we could take anywhere, and fit is the back of a normal car. We have used this bbq for 4 months every week and we take it in the back of the car. The thing that I like about it is that it still works great and I can handle it by myself.  Show details

Cheap and DO THE WORK BBQ but it doesn't last long – I bought my BBQ a few months ago at Bunnings. The BBQ is easy to assemble and once it's ready for grilling, the BBQ itself feels solid and robust. The problem is that after heating up the steel plate and left the barbecue outside, the grill plate started to rust and by now I will need another steel plate or a new BBQ for my home. It was as cheap… Read more

as $90 so for the number of parties I threw at home and how fast the BBQ plate got rusted, it was a good value for money purchase.

Simple BBQ works like a treat – Pros Simple to use Electric burner ignition Portable, reasonably light, fold up legs Nice wide hotplate Cheap Easy to keep clean Cons Just hotplate, no grill No hood Was looking for a portable flat plate BBQ that wouldn't break the bank for my club. This BBQ fit the bill. Took a little while to set up. But worked a treat for the… Read more

sausage sizzle we had planned. Used a furniture trolley to move it around and it was quite portable for one person to move but could be easily moved around by two people also without the trolley with supplied handles. Legs will fold up when you take out the supplied wing nuts. Low profile for a four burner BBQ means it is easy to also fold up and store.

Burners lit up quickly in windy area with electric starter and hotplate heated up reasonably quickly. Has smalll drip tray which empties into cup when you cook, leaving minimal clean up at the end. A quick wipedown of the hotplate cleaned up the mess. This is a simple BBQ and has no grill or fancy hoods. But has plenty of hotplate space for decent sizzle and is reasonably portable. Easy no fuss, no mess BBQ. Really like the improvements in BBQ design which have happened over years. Great price for good cheap BBQ.

Excellent simple BBQ – A BBQ doesn't have to be expensive nor fancy to be great. We sold our expensive 4 burner BBQ with a side burner which we never used and bought this instead. Now we can cook mass amounts of meat, and pancakes for the morning on 1 large hotplate. Yes you know you can get full hotplates for the fancy BBQs but for the price this beats them all in my opinion.
