Five Powerful 15 MJ/hr Cast-Iron Burners
The BBG1250SB uses five cast-iron burners, each rated at:
15 MJ/hr
Together they deliver:
75 MJ/hr Total Burner Output
That gives you plenty of power across the large cooking surface while five independently controlled burners provide the flexibility to create multiple heat zones.
Turn up the heat for:
- Steaks
- Burgers
- Lamb
- Kebabs
- Seafood
Or create lower-temperature zones for:
- Chicken
- Sausages
- Vegetables
- Indirect cooking
- Roasting
- Keeping cooked food warm
Spacious Cast-Iron Cooking Surface
The BBG1250SB provides a large cooking platform comprising:
- 1 porcelain-enamelled cast-iron hotplate
- 2 porcelain-enamelled cast-iron grills
Beefeater uses cast iron for its ability to spread and retain heat, while the porcelain enamel coating provides additional protection against rust.
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 lets you grill and hotplate-cook simultaneously, making good use of the five independently controlled burners underneath.
Stainless Steel Finish
The BBG1250SB is the stainless steel version of the Beefeater 1200 Series 5 Burner Built-In BBQ.
Beefeater specifies the exterior as 443-grade stainless steel, giving the BBQ the classic stainless appearance that works particularly well in outdoor kitchens with stone benchtops and stainless appliances.
It's a natural match for:
- Stainless steel outdoor fridges
- Stainless steel sinks
- Stainless steel rangehoods
- Stone benchtops
- Light or dark cabinetry
- Contemporary alfresco areas
Double-Layer Stainless Steel Roasting Hood
The BBG1250SB features a double-layer stainless steel roasting hood, allowing the BBQ to be used for much more than conventional open grilling.
Close the hood for:
- Whole chickens
- Roast meats
- Larger cuts
- Indirect cooking
- Slower BBQ cooking
- Hood-down grilling
The hood effectively turns the BBQ into a large outdoor roasting oven when required.
Large Glass Viewing Window
One of the standout features of the 1200 Series is the large glass viewing window built into the roasting hood.
Instead of continually lifting the hood to check your food, the viewing window lets you see what's happening inside while retaining heat.
This is particularly useful when cooking:
- Whole chickens
- Roasts
- Larger cuts
- Indirect meals
- Longer hood-down cooks
Integrated Temperature Gauge
An integrated temperature gauge is built into the roasting hood, giving you an easy indication of the temperature inside the BBQ.
Combined with the glass viewing window, it makes monitoring hood-down cooking much easier.
Stainless Steel Vaporisers
The BBG1250SB uses stainless steel vaporisers above its cast-iron burners.
Beefeater's flame-taming system is designed to prevent fat from dripping directly onto the flame, helping provide more even heat while reducing the risk of flare-ups burning your food.
Large Removable Warming Rack
A large removable warming rack provides useful additional cooking space above the main grill and hotplate.
Use it for:
- Keeping cooked food warm
- Warming burger buns
- Holding sausages
- Resting meat
- Moving food away from direct heat
When additional clearance is required, the rack can simply be removed.
Quartz Start Ignition
The BBG1250SB uses Beefeater's Quartz Start one-press ignition system, designed to make starting the BBQ quick and straightforward.
No complicated startup procedure—turn the control, ignite the burner and start cooking.
Easy-Clean Grease Management
Beefeater has designed the 1200 Series to simplify cleanup after cooking.
Built-in oil channels draw excess oil away from the cooking area towards a disposable tray, while a bottom drip tray catches fat from the grill.
This helps:
- Reduce grease around the burners
- Minimise mess
- Make routine cleaning easier
- Reduce fat reaching the flame
1017mm Wide Built-In BBQ
Despite providing a full five-burner cooking platform, the BBG1250SB measures:
1017mm W × 573mm D
with a height of 502mm with the hood closed.
That makes it well suited to:
- Custom outdoor kitchens
- Large alfresco areas
- Stone benchtops
- Family entertaining spaces
- Customers wanting substantial cooking capacity
- Kitchens incorporating a separate sink, fridge or side burner
For customers who regularly entertain or cook for larger groups, the additional cooking space of the 5 Burner can be well worth the extra width over the smaller models.
LPG with Natural Gas Conversion Available
The BBG1250SB comes configured for LPG.
Beefeater also confirms that a Natural Gas conversion kit is available through its spare-parts range.
Gas conversion and connection should always be completed in accordance with Beefeater's installation instructions and applicable Australian gas requirements.
BBG1250SB vs BBG1250BB – Stainless Steel or Black?
Mechanically, these two models are closely related. The major difference is the exterior finish.
BBG1250SB – Stainless Steel
- Stainless steel finish
- 443-grade stainless steel exterior
- 5 × 15 MJ/hr cast-iron burners
- 75 MJ/hr total output
- 1017mm overall width
- Glass viewing window
- Quartz Start ignition
BBG1250BB – Black
- Black enamel finish
- 5 × 15 MJ/hr cast-iron burners
- 75 MJ/hr total output
- 1017mm overall width
- Glass viewing window
- Quartz Start ignition
Choose the BBG1250SB if you prefer the traditional stainless steel outdoor-kitchen look or want the BBQ to match other stainless appliances.
Choose the BBG1250BB if you prefer a darker, more integrated appearance with black or charcoal cabinetry.
BBG1250SB vs BBG1240SB – 5 Burner or 4 Burner?
The choice between the two largely comes down to cooking capacity versus outdoor-kitchen space.
BBG1250SB – 5 Burner
- 5 × 15 MJ/hr burners
- 75 MJ/hr total output
- 1017mm overall width
- Larger cooking surface
- Ideal for bigger families and entertaining
BBG1240SB – 4 Burner
- 4 × 15 MJ/hr burners
- More compact overall width
- Takes up less outdoor-kitchen bench space
- Ideal for everyday family cooking
The 5 Burner makes sense if cooking capacity is the priority. The smaller model is worth considering when you would rather dedicate more of the kitchen to benchtop, drawers, refrigeration or another appliance.
