Incredible.

published

This is the best BBQ I ever owned. It's 4 years old now and still looks and works as new. The optional radiant quartz burners is the best thing for someone who loves even slow roasting. It's the closest you can get to charcoal. Worth every cent

Purchased in November 2021 at Barbeques Galore for $1,599.00.

Best burners I've ever had

published

I'm a Head chef. BBQs are not idiot proof as a decent gas stove is as well. Conventional burners instead of Quartz dome ceramic burners? I don't think so. This BBQ is Every chefs dream as we all chase anything that can perform close to charcoal but with gas.
The flavour is unreal. Stainless does not go rusty? Wow do you anything about metals and their mixtures? This Stainless is high grade and just requires "cleaning"... I have high grade SS pots and pans they cost a mint. If I don't clean them though.. guess what happens. Best BBQ hands down. 7 years in and running like a dream.

When is stainless steel not stainless steel?

published

The so called stainless steel grill racks are a very low grade stainless and after several years go rusty. Stainless does not go rusty. Also the two brackets that hold the handles on are not stainless, although they appear to be when you get it. They are in fact Aluminium castings which I can only describe as chrome plated. This coating comes off after time and looks awful.

The worst bbq we’ve ever had

published

Didn’t cook meat well, whole bbq disintegrated within 2 years... glass dome don’t allow meat to be cooked well in middle. When we bought it the salesman said don’t believe the online reviews - it is just a competitor trying to discredit us. Truth is it is rubbish and it has caught on fire twice - we are now starting again and will go with a 10 year warranty from Weber this time after wasting our money on this...

Very dissatisfied

published

If your BBQ area gets any wind at all DO NOT BUY THIS BBQ. The burners either go out or flare up in yellow flame with the slightest breeze. Bought through BBQ Galore with all settings adjusted by specialist BBQ Rescue. BBQ Galore playing innocent but BBQ Rescue admitted that they often have this problem on this type of BBQ. Go with a BBQ with conventional burners.

These negative reviews are making me laugh!

published

I'm reading these reviews and laughing! mine is the turbo elite 4 burner built in model. first of all it's the best BBQ I have ever used. The people complaining have to understand it's not like a regular BBQ. it took me a few goes to get to know how it cooks. With that being said its amazing! I've had mine over 6 years now and it's still runs perfectly. a few tips. get it really hot put your food on and turn off the burner under your food except steaks! steaks keep it screaming hot.
any one want some pictures of the food I've cooked on it just ask. or to see the bbq now just ask. I haven't had to replace anything on it ever!

Never purchase one of these.

published

Purchased a 4 burner turbo elite. I would say one of the worst purchases I have ever made.
The burners are always getting blocked and not lighting.
The self cleaning just gets more dirty
Grill grids are rusty already (6 months old)
Meant to not flare up when spray plate with oil, it flares up just as much as a normal flame burner
So, for anyone in the market for a bbq, just stick with a normal flame bbq.

Poor performance

published

The rqt has been very disappointing with not enough heat and then too much Flame when the meat starts to drip blackening it without cooking.
Wish I'd stayed conventional. Salesperson at BBQ galore did well with the upsell but I wish I had had the opportunity to try one prior to purchase.

Husband loving his new toy!

published

My husband treated himself to this new toy for Christmas. It is taking some adjusting to the different heat on this to a conventional BBQ, but we are loving the no flare ups and easy clean. The lid is heavy and does an excellent job retaining heat for lid down cooking.
Fair to say I’m loving it too!

High quality and easy to clean.

published

If your a looking for a bbq that is high quality and will last a long time then this is it. It is expensive and can only be bought from bbqs galore. I find it easy to start and it hides the gas bottle behind 2 doors on the bottom which also has a storage area. It also has a drawer that i use to store utensils etc.

As i said it is expensive but i,feel it will last a long time and i'm hopeful i wont have to buy a bbq for the next 10 years.

Ziggy pyrolytic magnificence.

published

We love our Ziggy pyrolytic. We bought it last year. Compared with our old bbq it cooks evenly and easy to clean with the quartz pyrolytic system. It also looks impressive. Easy to use. I wish the fat collecting tray was wider though and less metal at the edges where the fat collects. That’s the only small fault I’d say. I use it about 3-4 times a week. Highly recommend.

Very reliable

published

This was a gift from a friend so, not sure how much it was but it's certainly worth a lot to me and getting a lot of use. Easy to clean and plenty of storage downstairs. It's certainly a great step up from the previous 2-burner we had. I would suggest getting a cover tho as the stainless can look filthy quite quick outdoors with dust & grime etc.
Big enough to cook for a whole family. My fave; slow roast lamb!

Very good BBQ f

published

Hi I had been looking for a turbo for a while, I could not justify the price. I was lucky enough to finf one on Gumtree that was nearly new. I have to say for a person who leaves all the cooking to my wife I have found the BBQ to be one of the best I have used and have experimented with all types of cooking with great results. The taste form the grill is second to none. The price they charge for retail is very exspensive, although if you enjoy cooking on a BBQ I would recomend it.

Really Really Good

published

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GB4ETZYDDS4 - Bit of a look into how It Really cooks
Bought this BBQ about 2 years ago and it has been nothing but good. Easy to keep clean the best cooking you can get without going to charcoal. I live right near the coast and keep it covered when I'm not using it and give it a wipe over with a stainless steel cleaner every now and again and it still looks bang on perfect no signs of rust at all except for the after market grills i added to it.

Can someone give me some advice? One of my Z&B RQT burners is misfiring with a burbling sound. I have check the jet and it is clean. I have swapped burners to see if it is a burner problem but it is still misfiring at the same jet position.

I had the service chap visit and it turned out to be a spider's web in the tube leading from the jet. It was disrupting the gas flow.
