Three Powerful 15 MJ/hr Cast-Iron Burners
At the heart of the BMG1230SB are three cast-iron burners, each producing:
15 MJ/hr
That gives you a combined:
45 MJ/hr total burner output
The separate burners allow you to control different sections of the cooking surface depending on what you're preparing.
Turn up the heat for steaks and burgers or use different heat zones when you're cooking several foods at the same time.
Cast-Iron Grill & Hotplate
The Beefeater 1200 Series comes with both a cast-iron grill and cast-iron hotplate, giving you the flexibility to cook different foods simultaneously.
Beefeater highlights cast iron's ability to retain and evenly distribute heat, while the coated surfaces provide long-lasting rust resistance.
Use the Grill For
- Steaks
- Chicken
- Lamb
- Burgers
- Kebabs
- Fish
- Vegetables
Use the Hotplate For
- Bacon
- Eggs
- Sausages
- Onions
- Smash burgers
- Prawns
- Breakfast cooking
- Smaller foods
This traditional combination of grill and hotplate makes the 1200 Series a versatile everyday Australian BBQ.
Roast with the Hood Down
The BMG1230SB isn't limited to conventional open grilling.
Its porcelain enamel roasting hood allows you to close the BBQ and use it for roasting and hood-down cooking.
Use it for:
- Whole chicken
- Roast meats
- Larger cuts
- Indirect cooking
- Slower BBQ cooking
- Hood-down grilling
This gives you considerably more versatility than an open flat-top barbecue.
Large Glass Viewing Window
One of the standout features of the Beefeater 1200 Series is the large viewing window built into the roasting hood.
It lets you see what's happening inside the BBQ without continually lifting the hood. Beefeater specifically highlights this as a way to monitor food while retaining heat inside the cooking chamber.
It's particularly useful when roasting larger cuts or whole chickens.
Integrated Temperature Gauge
The roasting hood also incorporates an integrated temperature gauge.
This gives you an easy reference for the cooking temperature inside the BBQ when using the hood down.
The combination of a hood thermometer and viewing window makes it easier to monitor longer cooks without constantly opening the BBQ.
Roll-Away Warming Rack
The Beefeater 1200 Series includes a clever roll-away warming rack.
Use it to keep cooked food warm while you continue grilling, then move it out of the way when you need unrestricted access to the main cooking surface.
It's useful for:
- Keeping sausages warm
- Holding cooked steaks
- Warming burger buns
- Resting cooked food
- Moving food away from direct heat
Stainless Steel Vaporisers
The BMG1230SB uses two stainless steel vaporisers above the burners.
Beefeater's flame-taming system is designed to prevent fat from dripping directly onto the flame, helping provide even heat while minimising the risk of food burning from flare-ups.
This is particularly useful when cooking fattier foods such as sausages, burgers and some cuts of meat.
Quartz Start Ignition
Starting the Beefeater 1200 Series is simple thanks to Quartz Start ignition.
Beefeater describes it as a one-press ignition system designed to get the BBQ fired up quickly and reliably.
Fully Welded Burner Box
The burner box is fully welded and designed to withstand repeated exposure to the high temperatures generated during BBQ cooking.
This forms the durable foundation around which the 1200 Series cooking system is built.
Stainless Steel Cabinet Trolley
Unlike the built-in version of the 1200 Series, the BMG1230SB comes complete with a stainless steel cabinet trolley.
The trolley features:
- Stainless steel construction
- 2 cabinet doors
- Enclosed storage
- Stainless steel side shelf
- Lockable castor wheels
The cabinet gives you useful storage underneath the BBQ for accessories and cooking equipment while creating a complete freestanding outdoor cooking station.
Lockable Castor Wheels
The trolley sits on lockable castor wheels, allowing the BBQ to be moved around your outdoor area when required and then secured in position while cooking.
This makes the BMG1230SB a good option if you want a full-size BBQ but don't want it permanently installed in one location.
Easy Grease & Oil Management
Beefeater has designed the 1200 Series to make cleanup straightforward.
The cooking system draws oil away from the flames, while built-in channels direct excess oil towards the collection system. A bottom drip tray catches grease from the grill, helping minimise mess after cooking.
The catchment tray is positioned at the front of the BBQ for easier access.
LPG with Natural Gas Conversion Available
The BMG1230SB comes configured for LPG.
If you have Natural Gas available at your home, Beefeater confirms that a Natural Gas conversion kit is available separately through its spare-parts range.
Any gas conversion should be completed in accordance with Beefeater's instructions and applicable Australian gas regulations.
Ideal for Everyday Family BBQs
A three-burner BBQ is an excellent size for everyday home cooking.
The Beefeater 1200 Series provides enough cooking flexibility for:
- Couples
- Families
- Weekend entertaining
- Steaks and burgers
- Sausages
- Chicken
- Seafood
- Breakfasts
- Roasting
You get a proper grill, hotplate and roasting hood without moving into the footprint of a much larger four or five-burner BBQ.
BMG1230SB vs BBG1230SB – What's the Difference?
These model numbers are very similar, but there is an important difference.
BMG1230SB – Freestanding 1200 Series 3 Burner BBQ with trolley
BBG1230SB – Built-In 1200 Series 3 Burner BBQ
The BMG1230SB includes the stainless steel cabinet trolley, side shelf and lockable castor wheels, making it a complete freestanding BBQ.
The BBG1230SB is intended for installation into an outdoor kitchen or suitable built-in structure.
If you want a BBQ you can position on your patio or alfresco without building cabinetry around it, the BMG1230SB is the appropriate freestanding model.
