Barbeques

Nothing compliments your outdoor furniture and is more crucial than a high quality barbeque. Barbeques have come a long way since the days of standing around a big round charcoal burner and we have a very wide variety of barbequing options for you to choose from.

• Outdoors Kitchen – why not seriously beef up your barbequing firepower to the max with a Kitchen Barbeque set. Buying an Outdoors Kitchen is a statement of intent – that you take your outdoor cooking, hosting and entertaining very seriously and that you plan to be the kind of host that feeds a crowd generously. It’s the ultimate in outdoors foodie hosting and we have two of the most popular Outdoor Kitchen models on the market in the Gasmate Premium Outdoor Black BBQ (Exclusive to Harvey Norman NZ) and also the Masport Ambassador Kitchen. These both utilise a modular approach that can ensure that you enjoy an all-year-round cooking experience, with a fridge and heaps of secure storage space that provide a working kitchen environment.
• Portable barbeques – it’s as kiwi as pavlova, rugby and gumboots. We love our portable barbeques; you can pick them up easily, chuck them in your boot, or easily take them on a boat. Portable barbeques have evolved significantly over the years and now feature aspects that would typically only be found in standard-sized barbeques like side shelves and lids. Some of our most popular portable barbeques include the Everdure Force 2 and 3 Burner Gas Barbeque range by Heston Blumenthal and the Buggs Barbeque Beefeater range.
• Built-in barbeques – catalogues found instore – a built-in barbeque replicates a similar free standing barbeque where the top components are very similar with 6-8 burners, stainless steel finish, enamel coated cast iron plate and angled self-draining grill system, a rear ceramic infrared burner for healthy rotisserie cooking, electronic ignition for easy lighting and flame tamers for controlled heat distribution.
• Gas barbeques – quick and easy, gas barbeques are efficient and easy to use. The trusty old gas barbeque will come to the rescue when you need to feed the family and friends quickly. Most of these barbeques feature a combination of grills and hot plates but can have outside the norm elements such as rotisseries, or woks added.
• Charcoal barbeques - with Covid-19 seeing more people working from home and having more quality time in the domestic sphere, charcoal barbeques are coming back into fashion. Charcoal barbeques appeal to the purists - those who are happy and able to devote more time to their barbequing. With the longer cooking time, food can be cooked at lower temperatures at a very steady heat without more fuel being added. The other major attraction with charcoal is smoke - gas flames don’t generate smoke, charcoal mixed with woodchips provides that traditional delicious smokey barbeque flavour. The Gas2Coal 3 Burner Barbeque by CharBroil is the perfect option for those who want to have the best of both worlds. You can opt to be quick and efficient by using the gas option or use it as a charcoal barbeque – you’ve got both bases covered in one convenient machine.
