Hotplate BBQs have a long and trusted tradition in Aussie cooking, especially for snags, chops, and onions. Until recently hotplate BBQs were unknown in USA but a recent huge trend has seen a number of brands flourish including some new and exciting styles and features. Significantly, Americans are using these griddle BBQs for many different cooking styles not previously popular in Australia (stir fries, fajitas, paellas, etc.) Beefmaster Griddles capitalise on these new designs and features with a unique set of benefits (cooking hood, front grease cup access, build-in ability, NG option).
