Customer Services

Barbeques Galore has been in the barbeque business longer than anyone in Australia - over 35 years to be exact. Naturally, over that time, we've gained invaluable knowledge on all things to do with Australia's great barbeque tradition. In fact, we've made it our mission to learn as much as we can about barbequing and outdoor entertaining.

Everything you'll see in a Barbeques Galore brochure, catalogue or inside a Barbeques Galore store is a culmination of the years of learning and hard work. So no matter how you barbeque, if you're looking for guidance, see the people who know more about barbeques and outdoor entertaining than anyone else in Australia - us.

Prices that appear on the Barbeques Galore online store, in store or in any advertising are applicable for the specified sale period only.

Advertised save is lowest save available across all stores, therefore savings may vary from store to store. To be fair to all our customers, we reserve the right to limit purchases to reasonable quantities (except SA). Savings quoted in advertising are off our regular prices. Sale items will also be accompanied by a list of participating stores.

At Barbeques Galore we stand by all the products that we sell. Warranties will vary depending on the product purchased.

All products will arrive with easy to follow assembly instructions and our store staff will be happy to assist you with any queries.

The technical term for charcoal is a ‘porous black residue, consisting of carbon and any remaining ash, obtained by removing water and other constituents from vegetation substances’.

There are 3 types of charcoal:

BBQ Briquettes: Made from a blend of char and charcoal

Charcoal Briquettes: Made by compressing charcoal, typically from sawdust and other wood products

Lump Charcoal: Made directly from hardwood material and is the most premium charcoal offer in the market due to its natural and additive free source.

Why use charcoal?

Using charcoal as a fuel source offers an ‘indirect cooking system’ which is designed to cook larger or tougher foods that would burn if they were grilled directly. The food is placed next to, not directly over the heat, which allows for a slower more even and flavoursome cook.

Check the specifications on your barbeque or outdoor gas heater to see what type of fuel you will need to operate your product.

Whatever the backyard and whatever the budget, we have a barbequing solution that will meet the toughest cooking demands and fit perfectly into any outdoor entertaining area.

We don’t just load up your car with a box of bits, some vague instructions and wave goodbye. Our professional service staff can deliver and assemble your new barbeque to ensure that it’s set up properly.

It’s important to note that our products are designed to be used for hot smoking only.

Hot smoking refers to a cooking technique that uses both heat and smoke to cook your food. Most popular items to smoke are ribs, brisket, lamb and chicken. Since the meat is served immediately, proteins being hot smoked don't require curing.

Cold smoking refers to a method of preserving meat to extend its shelf-life without exposing it to heat, usually at temperatures below 30C. We recommend cold smoking be performed by trained professionals in accordance with food safety standards.

There are several smoker styles available: Vertical (cabinet and bullet), offset, Kamado, kettle

Vertical BBQ Smoker (Bullet): Charcoal. Low cost and easy to use, vertical smokers are great for first timers. (Pro Q Fontier/Gasmate $99)

Vertical BBQ Smoker (Cabinet): Usually gas or electric. Square cabinet-like design with drawers for easy access to the water tray and wood chip box (Bradley/Arrosto).

So you’ve got your smoker and you’re ready to smoke. Here’s a handy cheat sheet to make sure you pick the right wood chips, chunks or pellets for the perfect flavour every time!

 IMPORTANT NOTE: SOME WOODS AREN’T SUITABLE FOR SMOKING AND COULD BE POTENTIALLY POISONOUS: PINE, FIR, SPRUCE, REDWOOD, CEDAR, CYPRESS, ELM, EUCALYPTUS, SASSAFRAS, SYCAMORE and LIQUID AMBER SHOULD NEVER BE USED!
