BBQ Spit Rotisseries' Ultimate Guide to BBQ Selection for Australian Conditions
Choosing a BBQ sounds easy... until you're three tabs deep comparing gas, charcoal, combo grills, and wondering if infrared burners are just marketing fluff. We get it — picking the right BBQ takes more than just guessing how many sausages you’ll cook.
That’s why we’ve put together this no-nonsense BBQ guide, built for Aussie conditions, to help you compare your options and find a BBQ that works as hard as you do.
Aussie BBQ Conditions? They're No Joke.
The average backyard BBQ in Australia sees:
- Wild weather (scorching sun one day, rain the next)
- Heavy weekend use (often with a side of spilled beer)
- Plenty of meat (and plenty of hungry mates)
- Long stints left outside
So your BBQ has to be more than just flashy — it’s gotta be tough, reliable, and easy to clean.
That’s exactly what we stock at BBQ Spit Rotisseries.

Top Tip: Don’t just think about how you cook. Think about how often you’ll use it, how much space you’ve got, and how many people you’re cooking for.
BBQ Features That Actually Matter (No Fluff)
When you’re comparing BBQs, keep your eye on these:
- Build Quality: Stainless steel and powder-coated finishes hold up best
- Burners (for gas models): More burners = better heat control
- Grill Surface: Cast iron = better sear, enamel = easier clean
- Lid & Venting: Crucial for roasting and indirect heat cooking
- Storage: Shelves, hooks, and trays can make life easier
Skip the gimmicks and focus on what makes a BBQ easy to use and hard to wreck.
