Find the right location for your BBQ

Find the right location for your BBQ

It is important to have space around your barbecue and that the barbecue is not installed under or on any combustible material and be on a level surface.

We recommend the minimum clearance from any combustible materials on ALL sides is 430mm (18”).

The minimum clearance from any combustible material from the TOP of the barbecue is 1000mm (39”) – don’t forget low branches or a timber shed are combustible too.

Also worth considering is how well your barbecue will be sheltered from the wind!

Large amounts of wind going through the back of the barbecue can push flames forward and impact the cooking experience or even cause potential damage to the barbecue.
