Smokers, kamados & grills
Brisket at 110°C overnight or pizza at 400°C. The cookers worth stepping up to, packed in Bendigo and sent Australia-wide.
4.7 out of 5 from 86 Oz BBQ customer reviewsEvery cooker here does proper barbecue. What changes is the fuel, how much you mind it, and what it does best.
Kamado
Fuel Lump charcoal
Best at One cooker for everything
Thick ceramic holds heat on a little lump. Two vents take it from 110°C overnight to pizza-hot.
Gravity-fed charcoal
Fuel Lump or briquettes
Best at Charcoal flavour, hands off
A tall hopper feeds charcoal down to the fire. The controller and fan hold the temp you dial in.
Pellet grills
Fuel Hardwood pellets
Best at Long, steady smokes
An auger feeds hardwood pellets to a fire pot and the controller keeps it steady. No fire to mind.
Electric smokers
Fuel Power + bisquettes
Best at Fish, sausage, jerky
An element does the heat. The feeder pushes a fresh wood bisquette on as the last one burns out.

The 18-inch ceramic most people should buy. Series II is our pick of the three: it adds the Air Lift hinge and Kontrol Tower vent to the Series I, without paying for the III’s SlōRoller.

I couldn't be happier with my Joe Jr - it's proven to be incredibly versatile despite its compact size. The charcoal flavor is unmatched, and its portability makes it perfect for both balcony cooking and taking it on the go for summer breaks away.
My husband was so excited when the Kamado was delivered, and fired it up that weekend for the most delicious smoked bbq chicken. The cooking process was easy, and the clean-up the next day was even easier.
Best roast chicken I have ever tasted thanks to my Joetisserie. Can't wait to cook a pork roast the same way.
Head-to-heads, sizing and the cooks themselves, written by people who run these cookers.
Kamado if you’ll mind two vents and want brisket on Saturday, pizza on Sunday. Gravity-fed if you want real charcoal flavour held on a dial. Bradley bisquette if you’d rather load the feeder and walk off.
13.5, 18 or 24 inches. The grate size decides everything else, from fuel use to how many you feed.
Two wireless probes, one shut kamado dome, and which one keeps its signal through the cook.
Pork ribs with proper bark and a sticky glaze, done in an electric smoker on the back deck.
What 1,150 square inches of gravity-fed charcoal is like to live with, and who it suits.
The cooker, the fuel it wants, the add-ons and the replacement parts, so the one you buy keeps cooking for years.
