Barbecue Features:

Fully Welded – Porcelain Enamel Coated Barbecue Frame


All BeefEater Discovery barbecue frames are fully welded and not bolted together or even spot-welded like some appliances. Full welding means a more rigid frame and a longer lasting body that won’t fall apart. A fully welded frame won’t leak, which means barbecuing without the mess.

The front, side and rear frame panels of the barbecue frame are fabricated which includes bending and folding to ensure superior strength. The panels are then placed in welding jigs to ensure that each panel is correctly aligned with each other.

Porcelain enamel is one of the toughest and most durable appliance coatings available in the world. It is essentially glass bonded onto steel, just like in your kitchen oven. To apply porcelain enamel to our barbecue frames: first we use a special grade of low carbon steel known as CV2S1. This steel has special qualities highly suitable for the application of porcelain enamel under extreme heat. The metal is thoroughly cleaned in preparation for the application of the base enamel coating. The cleaning process completely strips the metal clean to ensure superior adhesion of the enamel. Then we create a mixture of milled silica, along with special clay derivatives and oxides (color pigments) and water to form a sprayable solution. The mixture is then applied to the steel by highly skilled staff using spray guns. The coating is then heated and allowed to dry until all moisture has evaporated. The components are then placed in a furnace where temperatures reach a massive 860º C. It is here at this high temperature, where the porcelain enamel mixture and the steel are bonded together with the porcelain enamel forming a permanent glass coating over the steel.

Porcelain enamel is hygienic because it is a non-porous surface so there are no places for bacteria to hide. This non-porous quality also means that porcelain enamel is very easy to clean and maintain.

Porcelain enamel will not scorch, burn or discolor so your investment always will look good.


Galvanized Steel Grease Tray

Our galvanized steel grease tray is standard on all BeefEater Discovery barbecues. The large tray is designed to catch any remaining grease or solid matter that falls through the grill. The grease tray slides out of the appliance completely so it is easy to clean. The BeefEater grease tray ensures that there is no mess or hassle. Galvanized steel will resist corrosion which means longer life.


Heavy Duty Cast Iron Plates & Grates

Cast iron has long been recognized as a superior cooking surface for outdoor cooking appliances. All BeefEater Discovery barbecues come standard with Heavy Duty cast iron plates and grills. BeefEater Cast Iron is thick and heavy so it will last longer and perform better.

BeefEater’s ‘Rust Free’ cooktops are available as standard, throughout the entire range of Discovery series barbecues. With RF Technology, rusty cooktops are a thing of the past. RF Technology uses porcelain enamel, one of the toughest, most durable cooking surface coatings available. Porcelain coated cast iron distributes and holds the heat like cast iron, but is much easier to clean and keep looking new.

Before leaving the factory, each one of our cast iron plates and grills are checked to ensure that they sit level on the barbecue frame so that there is no annoying rocking of the cooking surfaces as you would expect with cheaper appliances.

If cared for correctly cast iron cooking surfaces will reward you with long life.


Precision Flame Control


You can feel the precision of our gas controls from the very first time you light up your BeefEater Discovery barbecue. Our precision engineered gas controls are built to the same exacting standards as the components used in fine kitchen appliances. These high precision valves are built to last and their precision gives you complete control over the flame. Precise control means a wider variety of food that can be cooked on the barbecue. More versatility means more barbecuing enjoyment.


Quartz Start Technology

The innovative BeefEater 'Quartz Start' ignition system is built into the gas control of the main control burner of the Discovery series to provide longer component life and trouble free starting. The 'Quartz Start' ignition pin is coated with titanium, an extremely hard, ultra light metal, to provide a cleaner, more positive spark. And, with 'Quartz Start' technology there are no cumbersome push buttons and there are no batteries to replace, ever!


Ergonomically Designed - Angled Fascia Panel

The control panel on the BeefEater Discovery barbecue is inclined at 45º for better visibility and ease of use. The striking ‘’black on stainless’ graphics are easy to read making operation simple and straightforward.


Ergonomically Designed – Gas Control knobs

The valve control knobs on the BeefEater Discovery barbecue are designed to be easy to operate. Each knob is constructed from phenolic, which is cool to touch when the appliance is operating. The valve control knobs are large for easy, positive control.


Solid, High Output Cast Iron Rail Burners

All Discovery series barbecues come standard with solid, cast iron, high power burners that ensure fast start up and good heat distribution. Cast iron burners last longer than fabricated metal burners which saves you money in the long term.


BeefEater Barbecue Heat Outputs:

2 Burner Output 32MJ (32,000 BTU) per hour
3 Burner Output 48MJ (48,000 BTU) per hour
4 Burner Output 64MJ (64,000 BTU) per hour
5 Burner Output 80MJ (80,000 BTU) per hour


Stainless Steel Vaporizer System


Designed exclusive for BeefEater, these vaporize juices and return the flavor to the food, at the same time reducing flare up.


Easy Care and Maintenance

Discovery barbecues are designed to be easy to use and maintain. The surfaces of our richly coated porcelain enamel barbecues are easy to keep hygienically clean.


Spare Parts

With some imported brands you could wait for months to get a spare part, even if the product is new. At BeefEater we maintain a full range of spare parts long after you have purchased your appliance. This will ensure that you get years of performance and enjoyment from you investment.


Metal Trolley Features:

Easy To Assemble
BeefEater trolleys come complete with detailed, easy to follow instructions that makes it simple and easy to assemble your appliance in just a couple of hours.


Powder Coated Finish

We coat the galvanized steel frames of our metal trolleys with a layer of highly durable (powder coat) to not only enhance the look but to further protect the metal as well. The powder coat finish is applied at the factory in a highly specialized process. This process starts with the metal components being sent through a special spray booth where the components and the paint particles are electrically charged. This makes the paint particles adhere to the steel. The finished components are then heated ensuring that the paint is baked onto the steel.


Side Shelves and Trolley Base


The Discovery series Metal trolley comes complete with side shelves and base so there is no shortage of space when preparing and cooking food.


Heavy Duty Wheels and Lockable Castors

High quality 7-inch wheels and 2.75-inch lockable castors making the trolley totally mobile and easy to move about. The lockable castors ensure that the unit will not move when the appliance is being used.


Discovery Roasting Hood Features:

Nothing Tastes As Good As a Roast Cooked On A Beefeater Barbecue. The BeefEater Discovery roasting hood is an integral part of the barbecue and is designed to add to your outdoor cooking enjoyment and versatility.

Cast Alloy Sideframes


The Discovery roasting hood is made from cast alloy and porcelain coated steel. The cast alloy sideframes give the hood superior strength.


Heavy Duty Hood Hinges

The roasting hood hinges are made from heavy gauge stainless steel. They are rear-mounted, allowing the hood to be fully opened ensuring clear access to the cooking surfaces.


Full Width Viewing Window

BeefEater 2, 3, 4 & 5 burner Discovery barbecues come standard with a full width viewing window made of toughened glass. More than just a gimmick, the large viewing area is designed to allow enough light to enter the hood so that you can see the status of your roast without the need to frequently open the hood, which saves fuel and valuable heat from escaping.


Hood Thermometer

Each BeefEater roasting hood comes complete with a temperature thermometer that ensures accurate temperature monitoring while cooking.

Unlike some barbecue hood temperature gauges, the BeefEater hood thermometer is carefully calibrated for use with all BeefEater roasting hoods.

The thermometer has a graduated temperature / color bar that makes monitoring of the hood temperature quick, easy and simple. Temperatures are indicated in both Celsius and Fahrenheit.


Inbuilt Removable Warming Rack

We include a rear mounted warming rack inside the roasting hood. The warming rack is great for keeping food warm or for roasting vegetables like corn and potatoes. The warming rack is designed to be easily removed for cleaning and is totally washable.


All–Weather Stainless Steel Handle

All BeefEater roasting hoods come standard with a stainless steel handle that will not deteriorate like timber or plastic handles will. The special design of the hood handle ensures that it remains safe to touch even when the hood is hot.


BeefEater Optional Rotisserie

There is nothing like the mouth watering taste of a roast cooked on a rotisserie. Our BeefEater Rotisserie pack is a valuable Barbecue accessory that will add to the versatility of your outdoor cooking appliance. The unit has a powerful 240 Volt sealed motor (Aust, Europe), 120V (USA). The unit comprises a reversing clutch gear drive, which will prevent the motor from stalling and burning out should the rotisserie shaft become jammed while cooking. If any part of the roast becomes stuck, the clutch drive automatically senses the increased load and stops the motor then reverses back in the opposite direction. The gear drive ensures that the rotisserie motor bears little load, even under the most demanding of conditions so parts last longer.


Heavy Gauge Stainless Rotisserie Steel Shaft and Prongs

We use a heavy gauge 10mm diameter stainless steel rod for our rotisserie shaft. The rod is so strong it will support the weight of a large size roast.

The rotisserie set comes complete with two heavy duty, stainless steel, adjustable rotisserie prongs. The rotisserie hardware is completely washable. Additional prong sets are also available.

The rotisserie also comes complete with an adjustable counter balance. The counter balance is designed to balance the weight of the food mass on the rotisserie shaft giving a smooth rotation while cooking.


BeefEater Optional Polyester Barbecue Covers

BeefEater has a complete range of barbecue covers made from tough polyester. The covers are wind, dust and water resistant. The covers feature ‘Velcro’ securing straps to ensure the cover remains on the barbecue when not in use. The tough polyester is tear resistant. Covers are available in different styles, to suit both hooded and non hooded barbecue models.
