Three Powerful 15 MJ/hr Cast-Iron Burners
At the heart of the BMG1230BB are three cast-iron burners, each producing:
15 MJ/hr
For a combined output of:
45 MJ/hr
Cast iron provides excellent heat retention, while having three separately controlled burners gives you flexibility across the cooking surface.
Turn up the heat for steaks and burgers, or create different cooking zones when preparing multiple foods at once.
Spacious Cast-Iron Grill & Hotplate
The Beefeater 1200 Series includes both a cast-iron grill and cast-iron hotplate.
Beefeater highlights the ability of its cast-iron cooking surfaces to retain and evenly distribute heat, while the coated surfaces provide long-lasting rust resistance.
Use the Grill For
- Steak
- Chicken
- Lamb
- Burgers
- Kebabs
- Fish
- Vegetables
Use the Hotplate For
- Bacon
- Eggs
- Sausages
- Onions
- Smash burgers
- Prawns
- Breakfast cooking
- Smaller foods
Having both surfaces lets you grill and hotplate-cook simultaneously.
Cook with the Hood Up or Down
The BMG1230BB isn't limited to traditional open grilling.
Its porcelain enamel roasting hood allows you to close the BBQ and use it for hood-down cooking and roasting.
Use it for:
- Whole chicken
- Roast meats
- Larger cuts of meat
- Indirect cooking
- Slower BBQ cooking
- Hood-down grilling
This makes the 1200 Series a versatile option for customers who want one gas BBQ capable of handling both quick weeknight grilling and longer weekend cooks.
Large Glass Viewing Window
One of the standout features of the Beefeater 1200 Series is its large viewing window.
Rather than repeatedly opening the roasting hood to check your food, you can look through the window and keep more heat inside the BBQ. Beefeater specifically highlights this as a way to monitor your cook while retaining heat under the hood.
It's particularly useful when cooking whole chickens, roasts and other foods that spend longer periods under the closed hood.
Integrated Temperature Gauge
The roasting hood also features an integrated temperature gauge.
This provides a quick reference for the temperature inside the BBQ during hood-down cooking.
Combined with the viewing window, it makes monitoring longer cooks easier without continually lifting the hood.
Roll-Away Warming Rack
The Beefeater 1200 Series includes a clever roll-away warming rack.
It provides additional space for keeping food warm when required, but can be rolled out of the way when you want unrestricted access to the main cooking surface.
Use it for:
- Keeping sausages warm
- Holding cooked meat
- Warming burger buns
- Resting cooked food
- Moving food away from direct heat
Stainless Steel Vaporisers for Flame Control
Above the burners are two stainless steel vaporisers.
Beefeater's flame-taming system is designed to help prevent fat from dripping directly onto the flames, providing more even heat while reducing the risk of burning caused by flare-ups.
This is particularly useful when cooking fattier foods such as burgers, sausages and some cuts of meat.
Quartz Start Ignition
Fire up the BBQ quickly with Beefeater's Quartz Start ignition system.
The one-press ignition system is designed for quick and straightforward starting, getting you cooking without unnecessary fuss.
Fully Welded Burner Box
The burner box is fully welded and designed to withstand the high temperatures generated during regular BBQ cooking.
This provides a solid foundation for the burners and cooking surfaces inside the barbecue.
Black Cabinet Trolley
A key difference between the BMG1230BB and the stainless version of the 1200 Series is the trolley finish.
The BMG1230BB uses a black powder-coated steel cabinet trolley with:
- Two cabinet doors
- Enclosed storage
- Stainless steel side table
- Lockable castor wheels
The combination of black cabinetry and stainless steel creates a contemporary appearance that works particularly well in modern alfresco and patio areas.
Lockable Castor Wheels
The cabinet trolley sits on lockable castor wheels, making the BBQ easy to reposition when required and secure once you've got it where you want it.
This gives you more flexibility than a permanently installed built-in BBQ.
Easy Grease & Oil Management
The Beefeater 1200 Series is designed to simplify cleanup after cooking.
Oil is drawn away from the flames, while built-in channels direct excess oil towards the collection system. A bottom drip tray catches grease from the grill to help minimise mess.
The grease catchment tray is positioned at the front of the BBQ for easier access.
LPG with Natural Gas Conversion Available
The BMG1230BB comes configured for LPG.
For homes with Natural Gas available, Beefeater confirms that an NG conversion kit is available separately through its spare-parts range.
Gas conversion and installation should always be completed in accordance with Beefeater's instructions and applicable Australian gas requirements.
A Great Size for Everyday Family BBQs
A three-burner BBQ strikes a useful balance between cooking capacity and overall size.
The Beefeater 1200 Series is well suited to:
- Couples
- Families
- Weekend entertaining
- Everyday dinners
- Steak and burgers
- Sausages
- Chicken
- Seafood
- Breakfasts
- Roasting
At 1,380mm wide, it provides a complete freestanding cooking station without moving into the larger footprint of many four or five-burner BBQs.
BMG1230BB vs BMG1230SB – What's the Difference?
The BMG1230BB and BMG1230SB share the same core 1200 Series three-burner cooking platform.
The major difference is the finish.
BMG1230BB: Black powder-coated steel trolley with black/stainless finish.
BMG1230SB: Stainless steel version.
If you're looking for a darker, more contemporary appearance for your alfresco or patio, the BMG1230BB is the black option.
