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.

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 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.

Damn thing won't light!!!!!

These fancy burners won't light.
It worked fine the first two times we used it
then a few days later it won't light.
There is no troubleshooting guide for this problem.
And now i have to write words unnecessarily so i can list my question.
Unbelievable!!!!!!!!!
For god sake will this ever end!!!!!

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%

Excellent BBQ

published

I'm a charcoal fan so was very sceptical about spending big money on a gas bbq. I saw them as just outdoor grills.

Well... I have to say this bbq is excellent. Those domes really seem to work.

I have a 4 burner model, half grill and half hotplate, with an additional side burner for a pan or wok.

This works great for us, meat on the grill and veggies on the hotplate. The food comes out with a fantastic smokey flavour, I'd say almost if not as good as a charcoal kettle. Only without the hassle of charcoal! We use it at least a few times a week, so easy and really nice results.

I've not even tried it with a smoker box yet... that might well be the final nail in the coffin for charcoal in this house.

Not built for the Aussie weather

We bought a Turbo Elite RQT. It has always had a cover. It proports to be stainless steel but we have discovered that only some parts are stainless. The metal coating on the handle that raises the lid has peeled off and the metal underneath is oxidising and turning into a white powder. Very disappointing for what was a reasonably expensive BBQ

Awesome BBQ

Great purchase

published

This is a great BBQ if you don't need all the bells and whistles. Has side burner as well as the 4 standard burners. will take a rotisserie attachment, maybe Massport could make it an optional extra. Looks good and easy to use - even you Aussies should cope :-)

Best BBQ Ever!!!! It's my new oven!

published

I wish I could post pictures of everything I have ventured on my bbq! Perfect steaks, yummy pizzas, Sunday roasts even cakes!!!! You tube also have great uploads. Like all good bbqs, ovens all you need it to preheat for 15 minutes for that mouthwatering sear & then leave the burners on high for 15mins after to clean.
I have hardly used my oven since my purchase!
Worth every design award it's one! :)

Turbo Elite BBQ (on Cart)

Hello ... all I just purchased a turbo elite 2 burner, although I love the design I don’t think it cooks steak well... it kind of boils it or stews it instead of cooking it like a normal bbq. I know a few people are having the same issues.. did BBQs galore give you a refund or exchange ? I don’t know what to do... I am not happy ... for such expensive product i was expecting much more... please help...

They don’t acknowledge there is anything wrong with it. I’m in the process of looking at using the cabinet and pulling the whole fire box off the bbq and putting a Webber q on it. The only way you can cook a descent steak is by using the plate ( which I changed to cast iron)

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.
