Four Powerful 15 MJ/hr Cast-Iron Burners
The BMG1241BB uses four cast-iron main burners, each rated at:
15 MJ/hr
Together they provide:
60 MJ/hr Total Main Burner Output
Four independently controlled burners give you flexibility to create different temperature zones across the cooking surface.
Use higher heat for:
- Steak
- Burgers
- Lamb
- Kebabs
- Seafood
Or create lower-temperature zones for:
- Chicken
- Sausages
- Vegetables
- Indirect cooking
- Roasting
Cast iron provides strong heat retention and is well suited to repeated high-temperature barbecue cooking.
15 MJ/hr Built-In Side Burner
One of the main reasons to choose the BMG1241BB is its 15 MJ/hr built-in side burner.
Beefeater specifically promotes the burner for wok and stir-fry cooking.
Use it for:
- Stir-fries
- Fried rice
- Noodles
- Curries
- Sauces
- Vegetables
- Saucepans
- Boiling water
- Side dishes
The side burner also uses Quartz Start ignition and has a cast-iron trivet.
Cast-Iron Grill & Hotplate
The BMG1241BB includes:
- 1 cast-iron hotplate
- 1 cast-iron grill
Beefeater describes the cast-iron cooking surfaces as rust resistant and designed to retain heat effectively.
Use the Grill For
- Steak
- Chicken
- Lamb
- Burgers
- Fish
- Kebabs
- Vegetables
Use the Hotplate For
- Bacon
- Eggs
- Sausages
- Onions
- Smash burgers
- Prawns
- Breakfast cooking
The combination gives you the traditional flexibility of an Australian gas BBQ.
Black Enamel Finish
The BMG1241BB is the black version of the Beefeater 1200 Series 4 Burner Freestanding BBQ with side burner.
Beefeater lists the product finish as Black, with a black powder-coated steel cabinet trolley.
That darker appearance works particularly well in:
- Contemporary alfresco areas
- Patios
- Black or charcoal outdoor settings
- Dark outdoor furniture schemes
- Modern backyards
It is a good alternative for customers who prefer black over a traditional stainless steel BBQ.
Porcelain-Enamel Roasting Hood
The BMG1241BB features a porcelain-enamel roasting hood, expanding the barbecue beyond basic open grilling.
Close the hood for:
- Whole chicken
- Roast meats
- Larger cuts
- Indirect cooking
- Slower BBQ cooking
- Hood-down grilling
Large Glass Viewing Window
A large viewing window lets you see what is happening under the hood without repeatedly opening it and losing heat.
This is particularly useful for:
- Roasting
- Whole chickens
- Larger cuts
- Longer indirect cooks
Integrated Temperature Gauge
The roasting hood also includes an integrated temperature gauge, giving you a quick indication of the cooking temperature inside the BBQ.
Combined with the viewing window, it makes hood-down cooking easier to monitor.
Roll-Away Hood Design
The BMG1241BB uses Beefeater’s roll-away hood design, which allows the BBQ to sit more snugly against a wall than a conventional rear-swing hood.
That can be particularly useful in:
- Patios
- Alfresco areas
- Courtyards
- Narrow outdoor entertaining spaces
Always maintain the clearances specified in Beefeater’s installation instructions.
Stainless Steel Vaporisers
The BMG1241BB uses stainless steel vaporisers above the cast-iron burners.
These help:
- Spread heat across the cooking surface
- Shield burners from grease
- Reduce flare-ups
- Support more consistent cooking
Beefeater describes its flame tamer as helping spread heat evenly while the cast-iron grill and plate retain it.
Quartz Start Ignition
Both the main BBQ and side burner use Quartz Start ignition.
The one-push system is designed to make firing up the BBQ quick and straightforward.
Fully Welded Burner Box
Beefeater specifies a fully welded burner box, designed to withstand high heat over time.
This provides a durable structural foundation around the burner system.
Easy Grease Management
For easier cleanup, excess oil is directed into a bottom drip tray.
This helps:
- Reduce grease around the burners
- Simplify post-BBQ cleaning
- Keep the cooking area cleaner
- Make regular maintenance easier
Black Cabinet Trolley
The BMG1241BB is supplied with a black powder-coated steel cabinet trolley.
The trolley creates a complete freestanding cooking station and provides space underneath for BBQ accessories and gas-bottle storage.
Lockable Castor Wheels
The trolley sits on lockable castor wheels, allowing the BBQ to be repositioned when required and secured once in place.
This gives you much more flexibility than a permanently built-in BBQ.
LPG with Natural Gas Conversion Available
The BMG1241BB comes configured for LPG.
Beefeater states that Natural Gas conversion is available through its spare-parts range.
Gas conversion and connection should always be completed in accordance with Beefeater’s instructions and applicable Australian gas regulations.
