New flattop

I'm actually thinking the same Ray, I thought about getting another Weber Q but then I think it'd be good just to have an old fashioned flat top BBQ to do some teppan cooking, the good ol snag sizzle, onions, eggs, bacon, veggie stir-fry, there's so much you can do with a piping hot flatty and I got 3 kettles to do the other stuff.

Bunnings have a couple of good flatties available as well as BBQs Galore. One doesn't need to be fancy all the time

Might not be big enough, but if you want to do some comparisons I bought the Blackstone 28" (2 burner) on Amazon for less than $400 delivered last year. Every now and then it changes from a steep delivery fee, to free delivery, but you have to catch it when it's on as it often only lasts a week or so.

I've even converted it to plumbed gas and it works a treat.

Keep doing the search, it will come up as a "Prime" product. I waited 3 weeks for it to come up after the first time I saw it.

Slightly more Ray C but, I just bought my SECOND one of these. https://www.bunnings.com.au/be…with-side-burner_p0289450

I paid $899 on Black Friday so if you haggle you might get them down.

First one lasted well over five years, closer to 8 or 9 but no one in the house is really sure of it's age...

Looked at the Ziggy triple and the Weber in same form factor (Father in Law and Sister have one of each and both love them, but in the end I needed the extra area).

Ray C, you may even want to consider this one....

I've kept an eye out for these but they don't seem to ever go as cheap as when you guys got them on here.

I'm currently trying to work out if I can get a flat top to fit my Grill2Go x200 gasser.

This one's pretty good

I'm extremely surprised you don't have 1 mate

recommendations for a new flat top. The ziggy is nearing the end of it's life and to be honest, i prefer a flattop. Saw this and it peaked my interest...

saw one of these in my local Bunnings yesterday and it caught my eye. Seems like a decent unit with plenty of cooking space. Might pop it on the wish list for the new year.

having used a flat top grill exclusively now for almost 2 years i would go for the blackstone offering due to the front wall on the plate and the drain being away from you. I have had hot fat or liquids down the front of me and on my feet too many times to remember. BBQing is meant to be fun, not a health hazard.

I will be upgrading from my current flat top to the blackstone soon.

Yes, I do, the Airfryer version came out the year after I got mine, seems like a good option!

From what I've seen online, most people seem to like the Char Griller set up for the drain, there's also a front lip on the Char Griller so I don't see it being a spill hazard. Looked at some comparison vids between Blackstone and Char Griller and there doesn't seem to be much between them.

Also, as a family of four the larger Char Griller probably suits our needs more than the two burner Blackstone.

For an Aussie BBQer, it's kind of like back to the future.

Its how many of us Australians began our grilling journey.

And despite what a certain person used to say, it's nothing like cooking in a pan, it gets much more hotter than that.

Bugger, we just purchased an air fryer, I might have been able to swing this.

Has anyone used it? How big is the fryer?

Blackstone 2-Burner 28" Griddle Combo with Air Fryer and Hood

Can only use one fryer at a time I believe.

From what I've read, only one of the baskets is an air fryer, the other is a "warmer". There's a larger model in the US that has two air fry baskets and one warmer basket.

I don't see the value in it at all. I'd rather just have a BBQ and a separate air fryer indoors.
