Great deal on 4 Burner Hooded BBQ @ $99
It falls under the magical $100 barrier and a great low budget alternative if looked after (Invest in a cover via Gumtree or Big W for $30 when sale begins https://www.bigw.com.au/product/hinterland-4-burner-hooded-p… )
40% off all BBQs (and outdoor furniture) in store (no BBQs available online) so I'm sure there'll be some bargains to be had on Thursday morning at your local!
Yep https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/284190 - maybe those who pulled the trigger can comment and state if it's worth $10 more? Still seems a great price for those who didn't get the chance to get for $89
The blue sale tag is marked $89.00 at my local Big W (Seaford, SA).
Hi, I bought this during the Boxing Day Sale and I must say I have been satisfied with it since. To be fair, I have only used the BBQ twice but on both occasions, it was near perfect. The only problem I had was with the assembly. It seems that the instructions were written by a moronic engineer.
Thanks for the feedback on the 4 Burner. So I'm guessing you'd recommend people get this for $99 then?
I believe that if you are looking for a cheap BBQ that you do not use very frequently and do not need a side burner, this is definitely a good bargain!
Perfect, cheers :)
Did you work out what that little chain thing is for?! the instructions are useless!
I've had the near identical model for 8 or 9 years now, never missed a beat & couldn't be happier with it.
The OP has hit the nail on the head, the secret to successful ownership of a cheap BBQ is to use a good cover, I'll confident my $119 BBQ will see out more than a decade for this reason. :)
Hey mate this might be a dumb question but why is the secret of a successful ownership of a cheap BBQ a good cover?
Thanks
To protect the cheap parts from rain, corrosion and all that stuff that will need up a bbq
^Already sorted…
once rust sets in from being outdoors in the elements, goodbye bbq. panels will literally collapse.
The blue sale price tag attached when I was instore has the BBQ marked at $89.00 (Big W Seaford South Australia).
Are you a secret agent? What's with the sneaky photo? :P
Haha nah, just at a weird angle when I was on my phone!
That piece of garbage was always $99
Just an observation. You appear to complain alot but never contribute. Your post doesn't help anyone at all.
The name is savage for a reason.
What's the reason for your name cock?
oooo I feel the burn. You might need some help practising that name cock savage
U like that name dont u?
Where can u buy a gas bottle cheaply?
Do I need to bring a bottle to swao?
On that case should I check gumtree for empty bottles?
Yes, you'll need an 8.5kg to swap. Best place to look for a Gas Bottle is Gumtree IMO. Needs to be 8.5kg though 👍
And make sure it is within inspection date - on the collar there should be a date stamped - if its within 10 years you are good to go.
@klownz:
If it's outside 10 yeas just take it to a servo. Staff just give you the key to swap and never leave their counter.
Used this technique twice with bottles been left out on verges during clean up days. Saves paying $10-20 on gumtree..
Good deal though BBQ grill not made from cast iron but light porcelain coated steel, less durable, not sure how they perform.
I got a 4 burner from big w about 2 years back for about 150. looks very similar to the one in the photo. I've used it a good 20+ times and it goes great. i would recommend it.
Thanks for the feedback ;)
Is this a catalogue deal? Or in a newspaper? I can't seem to find anything on their website about this.
EDIT: Never mind, I was looking in the wrong catalogue. Found it now.
Anyone know where to get a cheap but decent BBQ cover? Big W has them for $40 https://www.bigw.com.au/product/hinterland-4-burner-hooded-p…
This should be $24 tomorrow but otherwise ebay http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Waterproof-Outdoor-Barbecue-Dust-… for $10.64 if you're willing to wait, or Gumtree.
The Aldi ones are great when you can get your hands on them.
ok great thank you both, I'll check them out
can we see these online anywhere?
Can't find them on the site and their catalogue is a back to school edition.
Any links to online BBQ's at Big W?
I saw this in a direct mail catalogue and as the online store is woeful (no BBQs, 1% of actual range), best bet is to head to a bricks and mortar store where the promotion exists.
hey thanks for the reply, did it say that this sale starts Thursday or was there a particular day?
Cheers again.
Starts today and lasts a little while. If you google Big W BBQs it shows up with some unlisted items but I couldn't find the actual ones they sell. I walked to my local yesterday and they had a two burner, four burner and a rotiserrie/spit type charcoal grill. Note none of the BBQ accessories (like tongs and all that) are on sale, or at least weren't marked as such.
I bought the 4 burner for $99. I bought the 4burner cover for $10. The price is not marked $10 , i think it may have been $15 or $40 so make sure you take both and get a price check on it. I haven't set it up yet as I have no GAS BOTTLE and was not prepared to pay $94 at the 7eleven servo for swap and go. I'll pick up a bottle up from Bunnings instead.
Hope that helps
When I did it at bunnings couple of years ago, I had to buy a gas bottle and then pay $20 registration fee to get onto the gas swaps.
Grabbed one of these (Also used extra 5% Woolworths employee discount)..
Apart from the convoluted build (the base tray is attached to the legs first in the instructions) it's a neat "little" BBQ.
Once together it's surprisingly solid, burner controls have a nice feel to them and the hood moves and shuts nicely. I've taxed the rotisserie brackets from my old BBQ and they fit this one nicely.
It'll do us for a few years, and my old BBQ cover actually covers it right to the deck so it shouldn't ever get wet.
Can anyone comment on what the burners are made of? I had a look in store and it didn't say. Managed to get one of the BBQ covers for $10 though
arg went down to my local big W at Brickworks SA and they didn't have any BBQ's, just covers. Was 40% off all BBQ accessories.
weren't these $89 in Big Dub's boxing day sales?
