There’s no doubt that the unsung hero of an Aussie backyard party is the barbecue. However, while a great BBQ is the beating heart of any Aussie outdoor setup, it’s the right BBQ accessories that take your outdoor cooking to the next level. Whether you’ve had a BeefEater in your backyard for years or you’ve just wheeled a shiny new one onto the deck, the right accessories can completely transform your menu.

Backyard barbecuing is deeply embedded in Australian culture, with the nation’s home BBQ market valued at approximately $1.5 billion as of 20241. While the quest for smoky, wood-fired flavour is universal among BBQ lovers, many home cooks lack space or budget for a dedicated smoker. Enter the smoker box: a compact, clever grilling tool that delivers authentic smokehouse flavour using any regular barbecue.

Barbecuing is an Australian staple, whether it is sizzling prawns on Christmas Day, hosting a Sunday family lunch, or warming up an autumn evening with friends. But while we put plenty of care into cooking, many of us forget one crucial part of the process: looking after the BBQ itself. Seasonal maintenance ensures longevity, keeps food safe, and guarantees that every cook-up runs smoothly.

An LPG regulator is a safety device that controls the flow and pressure of gas from a highly pressurised cylinder to your appliances. It ensures gas is delivered at a steady, usable rate— reducing bottle pressure (which can reach hundreds of kPa) down to a safe 2.75 kPa for household equipment like BBQs, heaters, or stoves. The regulator’s design includes fail-safes that detect pressure drops (for example, due to leaks), automatically stopping gas flow to prevent accidents.
