Five Powerful 15 MJ/hr Cast-Iron Burners
The BBG1250BB uses five cast-iron burners, each producing:
15 MJ/hr
Together they deliver:
75 MJ/hr Total Burner Output
That gives you plenty of power across the large cooking surface while allowing you to create different cooking zones for different foods.
Use higher heat for:
- Steaks
- Burgers
- Lamb
- Kebabs
- Seafood
Or reduce selected burners for:
- Chicken
- Vegetables
- Sausages
- Indirect cooking
- Larger roasts
Large Cast-Iron Cooking Surface
The BBG1250BB includes:
- 1 cast-iron hotplate
- 2 cast-iron grills
Beefeater coats the cooking surfaces for long-lasting rust resistance and highlights cast iron for its ability to retain and evenly distribute heat.
Use the Grills For
- Steak
- Chicken
- Lamb
- Burgers
- Fish
- Kebabs
- Vegetables
Use the Hotplate For
- Bacon
- Eggs
- Sausages
- Onions
- Smash burgers
- Prawns
- Breakfast cooking
The combination makes it easy to grill and hotplate-cook at the same time.
Black Enamel Finish
The BBG1250BB is the black enamel version of the Beefeater 1200 Series 5 Burner Built-In BBQ.
The darker finish makes it a strong choice for outdoor kitchens featuring:
- Black cabinetry
- Charcoal cabinetry
- Dark stone benchtops
- Black sinks and mixers
- Dark compact laminate
- Contemporary alfresco colour schemes
For customers who don’t want the traditional all-stainless BBQ appearance, the BBG1250BB gives the outdoor kitchen a more integrated dark finish.
Double-Layer Roasting Hood
The BBG1250BB features a double-layer stainless steel roasting hood, allowing you to move beyond conventional open grilling.
Use the hood down for:
- Whole chicken
- Roast meat
- Larger cuts
- Indirect cooking
- Slower BBQ cooking
- Hood-down grilling
That gives the 1200 Series significantly more versatility than a flat open grill.
Large Glass Viewing Window
A standout feature of the 1200 Series is the large glass viewing window built into the roasting hood.
It lets you check your food without repeatedly opening the hood and releasing accumulated heat.
That is particularly useful for:
- Roasts
- Whole chickens
- Larger cuts of meat
- Longer hood-down 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 monitoring longer cooks much easier.
Stainless Steel Vaporisers
The BBG1250BB uses stainless steel vaporisers above its cast-iron burners.
Beefeater’s flame-taming system is designed to help prevent fat from dripping directly onto the flame, supporting more even heat and reducing flare-ups that can burn food.
Large Removable Warming Rack
A large removable warming rack provides additional cooking space above the main grill and hotplate.
Use it for:
- Keeping cooked food warm
- Warming burger buns
- Holding sausages
- Moving food away from direct heat
- Resting cooked meat
When you don’t need it, the rack can be removed to give you better access to the main cooking area.
Quartz Start Ignition
The BBG1250BB uses Beefeater’s Quartz Start ignition system.
Beefeater describes it as a one-press ignition system designed for fast, simple starting.
Easy Grease & Oil Management
Beefeater has designed the 1200 Series to make post-cook cleanup simpler.
The cooking system draws oil away from the flames, while built-in oil channels direct excess grease towards a disposable tray. A bottom drip tray catches fat from the grill to help minimise mess.
Compact 1017mm Built-In Width
Despite being a full 5 Burner BBQ, the BBG1250BB measures just 1017mm wide and 573mm deep overall.
That makes it a strong choice for:
- Custom outdoor kitchens
- Medium to large alfresco areas
- Stone benchtops
- Customers wanting five burners without moving to an oversized BBQ
- Outdoor kitchens where preserving some bench space still matters
Its 1017mm width gives you a genuinely large cooking platform while remaining manageable in many custom kitchen layouts.
LPG with Natural Gas Conversion Available
The BBG1250BB comes configured for LPG.
Beefeater confirms that the BNGB001 Natural Gas Conversion Kit is compatible with the BBG1250BB.
Gas conversion and connection should always be carried out in accordance with Beefeater’s instructions and applicable Australian gas requirements.
BBG1250BB vs BBG1230BB – 5 Burner or 3 Burner?
Both belong to the black Beefeater 1200 Series built-in range, but they suit different outdoor-kitchen sizes.
BBG1250BB – 5 Burner
- 5 × 15 MJ/hr burners
- 75 MJ/hr total output
- 1017mm wide
- 1 hotplate
- 2 grills
- Best for larger families and entertaining
BBG1230BB – 3 Burner
- 3 × 15 MJ/hr burners
- 45 MJ/hr total output
- 697mm wide
- More compact outdoor-kitchen footprint
The BBG1250BB is the better choice when you want substantially more cooking space, while the BBG1230BB makes more sense when preserving benchtop space is the priority.
