Four Powerful 17 MJ/hr Cast-Iron Burners
The BBG7640SA uses four cast-iron burners, each producing:
17 MJ/hr
Together they deliver:
68 MJ/hr Total Burner Output
That gives you plenty of cooking power while four independently controlled burners let you create different heat zones across the BBQ.
Use high heat for:
- Steaks
- Burgers
- Lamb
- Kebabs
- Seafood
Or reduce selected burners for:
- Chicken
- Sausages
- Vegetables
- Roasting
- Indirect cooking
- Larger cuts of meat
3,740cm² Cooking Area
The BBG7640SA provides a generous 3,740cm² total cooking area.
The cooking surface includes:
- 1 porcelain-enamelled cast-iron hotplate
- 2 split porcelain-enamelled cast-iron grills
The split grill arrangement also gives you more flexibility to configure the cooking surface around the way you prefer to barbecue.
Porcelain-Enamelled Cast-Iron Cooking Surfaces
Beefeater uses cast iron for the main grill and hotplate because it heats quickly, distributes heat effectively and retains warmth well.
The porcelain enamel coating adds protection while the split grill layout gives you additional flexibility.
Use the Grills For
- Steak
- Chicken
- Lamb
- Burgers
- Fish
- Kebabs
- Vegetables
Use the Hotplate For
- Bacon
- Eggs
- Sausages
- Onions
- Smash burgers
- Prawns
- Breakfast cooking
304-Grade Stainless Steel Construction
One of the major advantages of stepping into the 7000 Classic range is its use of 304-grade stainless steel.
Beefeater specifies a 304-grade stainless steel finish, a fully welded stainless steel firebox and a double-layer 304-grade stainless steel roasting hood.
The firebox uses exterior seam welding to help prevent moisture and grease entering joints, reducing potential corrosion points over time.
That makes the BBG7640SA particularly well suited to a permanent premium outdoor-kitchen installation.
Double-Layer 304 Stainless Steel Roasting Hood
The BBG7640SA features a double-layer 304-grade stainless steel roasting hood.
Close the hood and use the BBQ for:
- Whole chicken
- Roasts
- Larger cuts
- Indirect cooking
- Hood-down grilling
- Slower BBQ cooking
The hood significantly expands the BBQ beyond conventional open grilling.
Full-Width Glass Viewing Window
A standout feature of the 7000 Classic is its full-width glass viewing window.
Instead of repeatedly lifting the hood to check your food, you can monitor the cook through the glass while retaining heat inside the barbecue.
It’s particularly useful for:
- Roasts
- Whole chickens
- Brisket
- Large cuts
- Longer indirect cooks
Integrated Temperature Gauge
An integrated temperature gauge is built into the roasting hood, giving you a quick indication of the temperature inside the BBQ.
Combined with the viewing window, it makes longer hood-down cooks much easier to manage.
Stainless Steel Vaporisers
The BBG7640SA uses two stainless steel vaporisers above the cast-iron burners.
These help:
- Disperse heat across the cooking surface
- Shield the burners from direct grease
- Reduce flare-ups
- Promote more consistent cooking
Two Elevated Stainless Steel Cooking Racks
The BBQ includes two split elevated stainless steel cooking racks.
Use them to:
- Keep food warm
- Warm bread
- Rest cooked meat
- Hold vegetables
- Create an additional elevated cooking zone
The racks can be lifted and removed when you need more clearance over the main cooking surface.
Full-Width Front-Access Grease Tray
The BBG7640SA is designed to make cleanup easier.
The hotplate has raised sides to help stop oil spilling over the edges and direct grease towards the collection opening. Underneath, a full-width stainless steel catchment tray sits on telescopic rails and pulls out from the front.
That front-access design is particularly convenient in an outdoor kitchen where rear access may be restricted.
Quartz Start Ignition
The BBG7640SA uses Beefeater’s Quartz Start ignition system, designed for quick and straightforward lighting.
Compact 820mm Built-In Width
One of the strongest practical reasons to choose the 4 Burner over the 5 Burner is size.
The BBG7640SA measures:
- 820mm wide
- 628mm deep
- 555mm high with hood closed
-
923mm high with hood open
That makes it particularly well suited to:
- Medium-size outdoor kitchens
- Alfresco areas
- Stone benchtop installations
- Kitchens incorporating a separate side burner
- Kitchens where preparation space matters
- Customers wanting premium 7000 construction without the width of a 5 Burner
LPG with Natural Gas Conversion Available
The BBG7640SA comes configured for LPG, with Beefeater confirming that a Natural Gas conversion kit is available.
Gas conversion and connection should always be completed in accordance with Beefeater’s installation instructions and applicable Australian gas requirements.
BBG7640SA vs BBG7650SA – 4 Burner or 5 Burner?

7000 Classic vs 7000 Premium 4 Burner
