Two Powerful Stainless Steel Burners – 32 MJ/hr
Underneath the cooking surface are two independently controlled 304-grade stainless steel burners.
Each burner produces:
16 MJ/hr
Giving the BIGG BUGG a combined output of:
32 MJ/hr
Independent burner controls allow you to create different temperature zones across the BBQ, giving you greater flexibility when cooking multiple foods at once.
Turn both burners up for high-temperature grilling, or adjust each side independently when you need different cooking temperatures.
Extra-Large 2,460 cm² Cooking Area
Despite its portable design, the BIGG BUGG provides a substantial 2,460 cm² total cooking area.
That makes it suitable for:
- Steaks
- Burgers
- Sausages
- Chicken
- Kebabs
- Seafood
- Bacon and eggs
- Vegetables
- Family BBQs
- Entertaining
It's a particularly useful option for customers who want something more compact than a conventional freestanding BBQ but don't want to compromise too heavily on cooking capacity.
Cast-Iron Grill & Hotplate
The BIGG BUGG comes with both a grill and hotplate, giving you two different cooking surfaces straight out of the box.
Both are manufactured from rust-resistant porcelain enamel-coated cast iron.
Use the Grill For
- Steak
- Chicken
- Lamb
- Burgers
- Kebabs
- Fish
- Vegetables
Use the Hotplate For
- Bacon
- Eggs
- Onions
- Smash burgers
- Prawns
- Smaller foods
- Breakfast cooking
Having both surfaces makes the BIGG BUGG considerably more versatile than a basic portable grill.
Cook with the Hood Up or Down
The BIGG BUGG isn't limited to direct grilling.
Its vitreous enamel roasting hood allows you to cook with the lid up or down, opening up a much broader range of cooking techniques.
Use the hood down for:
- Roasting
- Whole chicken
- Larger cuts of meat
- Indirect cooking
- Pizza
- Slower BBQ cooking
Or leave the hood open for conventional grilling of steaks, sausages, burgers and seafood.
Integrated Temperature Gauge
A temperature gauge is integrated directly into the roasting hood.
This provides an easy reference for the temperature inside the BBQ when you're cooking with the hood closed.
It's particularly useful when:
- Roasting
- Cooking pizza
- Cooking whole chicken
- Using indirect heat
- Cooking larger cuts of meat
Rather than relying entirely on the burner controls, you can monitor the cooking environment under the hood.
Spring-Assisted Roasting Hood
The BIGG BUGG's roasting hood incorporates spring assistance, helping the hood lower smoothly during operation.
The vitreous enamel construction also provides a durable, easy-clean exterior that complements the distinctive BIGG BUGG design.
Heat Control Without Flare-Ups
Beefeater has designed the BIGG BUGG around dual temperature control for even heat without flare-ups.
Because the two burners are independently controlled, you can manage the heat across each side of the cooking surface rather than relying on a single burner setting for the entire BBQ.
This makes it easier to manage different foods at the same time and gives you more control when moving between high-temperature grilling and gentler cooking.
Quartz Start Ignition
The BIGG BUGG uses Beefeater's Quartz Start ignition system, designed for fast and reliable lighting.
Simply turn the control and ignite the burner without needing to manually light the BBQ with matches.
Mobile Trolley Included
The BB722GB comes complete with its mobile trolley, turning the BIGG BUGG into a complete freestanding cooking station.
The trolley incorporates:
- Wheels for easy movement
- Condiment tray
- Storage racks
- Removable shelves
- Handle
- Additional preparation space
Beefeater uses a wheel-balance design intended to provide stability while keeping the BBQ easy to move around your outdoor area.
Removable Side Shelves
The side trays provide valuable preparation and serving space while you're cooking.
Use them for:
- Plates
- Utensils
- Sauces
- Seasonings
- Ingredients
- Drinks
When you don't need the additional space, the shelves can be removed and stored away.
This is particularly useful in balconies, courtyards and other areas where available space is limited.
Great BBQ for Balconies, Patios & Courtyards
The BIGG BUGG is particularly well suited to homes where a conventional four- or five-burner freestanding BBQ is simply too large.
Beefeater specifically highlights its suitability for areas ranging from balconies and patios to outdoor entertaining areas and backyards.
It's a great option for:
- Balconies
- Apartments
- Courtyards
- Patios
- Smaller alfresco areas
- Townhouses
- Backyards
- Outdoor entertaining areas
You get a substantial cooking area while retaining the flexibility of a portable BBQ.
LPG with Natural Gas Conversion Available
The BB722GB is supplied configured for LPG.
If you have Natural Gas available at your home, Beefeater also offers a Natural Gas conversion kit for the BUGG and BIGG BUGG.
Any gas conversion should be completed in accordance with Beefeater's instructions and applicable Australian gas regulations.
Optional BIGG BUGG Plancha Plate
Want even more hotplate space?
Beefeater offers a dedicated BIGG BUGG Plancha Plate, sold separately.
The cast-iron plate is designed specifically for the BIGG BUGG and incorporates ventilation points around the cooking surface to assist with even heat distribution.
It's particularly useful for cooking larger quantities of:
- Smash burgers
- Bacon
- Eggs
- Pancakes
- Fried onions
- Seafood
- Breakfast foods
BIGG BUGG Accessories
Beefeater offers a range of accessories that allow you to get more out of the BBQ, including:
- BIGG BUGG BBQ and trolley cover
- BIGG BUGG Plancha Plate
- Pizza Stone Set
- BBQ tools
- Smoker box
- Natural Gas conversion kit
This gives you plenty of scope to customise the BBQ around the way you cook.
