Best BBQ we have ever had

published

We cook everything from stuffed mushrooms, steaks, whole fish, roasts, the crackling on the roast porks is fantastic. We entertain a lot and have never had anyone complain about their meals. We have had this BBQ for over two years and never had a problem, we even have had friends that have gone and bought this product as they were so impressed by it.
I don’t have a problem cleaning this BBQ, it comes apart easily. It does take a while but then so do ovens.
Our BBQ is protected as we didn’t want an expensive piece left out in the weather like our previous BBQ’s.

Purchased in January 2021 at Barbeques Galore.

Excellent BBQ

published

So we were having our kitchen redone and would be without a kitchen for around 3weeks. Option was to buy a BBQ which is what we did from BBQs Galore. I didn’t think I could cook much on it with out burning but I was so surprised. I manes to cook pizzas, fish, pies, lasagne, spaghetti bog, you name it and the BBQ did it all perfectly. Great but for sure



Purchased in November 2021 at Barbeques Galore for $749.00.

I have been truly ripped off

published

This has been a disaster, being a believer you get what you pay for has bitten me big time.
I now stew steaks and the after sales service from BBS galore has been ZERO.
I do admin it dies sausages quite well, thus my thoughts on the good reviews only cook bangers.
in short do not go near this product.

worst bbq ever

published

This bbq is the worst unit we have ever had. We were led to believe that bbq would be the best thing we have ever cooked on and the easiest it to clean. Couldn't be more opposite if you tried. We had rep out on a couple of occasions to try and fix up heat issues but that didn't work either. We ended up taking it to the tip.

Great Ziegler BBQ

published

Bought a Ziggy recently from bbq galore.I was tossing up between the webber q and a ziggy.The thing i really like about the ziggy is that the burners are adjustable, so its like having a conventional bbq not just an oven like the webber.Have cooked many dishes on the zigy and cant be happier.

Worst bbq I've ever bought

published

I bought this bbq thinking it was going to be amazing due to the sales person's comments. I also figured due to the $1,700 price tag it would be a good bbq. I couldn't have been more wrong. Whilst the burners get hot, it doesn't sear the meat properly and often just stews it. To get the bbq hot during pre heating you need both burners on full blast even when you just use one to cook. I recommend people stick to normal gas burner or charcoal bbq's.

Worst Mistake I have made. Ziegler and Brown Turbo Elite 2 Burner

published

Cook BBQ 3-4 Times a week, had the 4 burner version for many years and it was excellent.
The two burner version struggles to get High temperatures. Had them out and they increased the jet size, now gets to hot on the ends. Changed to conventional burners and still slow to cook. I believe the BBG area,plate to require a minimum of three burners. I feel like taking a $1800 BBQ to trash and treasure.

Update! I went back to BBQ'd Galore and was advised that my issue is unusual and it sounds like a faulty set up with the gas supply. They are going have somebody look at it. Fingers crossed!

Further update. Nobody has followed up and I still hate by BBQ.

Very, very impressed

published

I purchased the the turbo elite 2 burner. I watched the videos online which helped as the recommended cooking procedure didn't sit well with me. On my first attempt I tried 3 different cuts of meat and all were better than I have cooked before. I recommend warming the bbq up to 200 with the hood down then cook both sides with the hood down, only turning when the first sight of blood come to the surface then rest as usual. It cut cooking time down imensely. As with everything new trial and error is key.

Great!!!!

published

I have used many BBQ's in my time and have got to say that this bit of kit is great!! I went for 4 burners instead of the hot plate. I was really impressed in the shop as I've never used anything like the heating style, always had gas or coal last model being Webber. I'll never go back... First tryout was fresh chicken, sausages and bacon... All done to perfection on first time. Well worth the money.. 100%

Don't Buy One - It's the Worst BBQ Ever!!!!

published

We were sucked in at the store and purchased this BBQ with high hopes of a fantastic bbq. It's the worst bbq we have ever had - it only cooks the meat where the meat rests on the grill bars. The meat is ghastly grey with brown stripes - awful!!
We can't wait to dispose of it (it would be very unkind to even give it away) and return to the reliable Weber.

Horrible BBQ can't cook

published

I've used this BBQ 2 times now and first impressions are that this is absolutely horrible. The burners are weak even when put to their maximum temperature. It takes far too long to cook and doesn't taste like BBQ'd meat. you would be better off cooking in an oven as ultimately the oven provides a far better experience. I would much rather prefer my old BBQ which performed much better.

Funked off

Terrible

published

First turbo elite delivered had no paint along 2 seams and already showed signs of rust. Replacement damaged out of box. Store took the goods back, but then wouldn't give me a refund until head office approve it - up to 10 business days. Apparently head office is aware of powder coat issues coming out of th factory!
Good concept.

Turbo Elite 2 Burner on Cart

One of my Turbo Elite RQT burners is misfiring with a burbling sound. I have cleaned the jet orifice and burner tube. I have swapped burners but it is still misfiring at the same jet position. Does the gas valve need to be replaced?

Did you change your jets to natural gas or do you have LPG still?

Original LPG ones. 7 years old. Other jet works well.
