2 Burner BBQ Summary

If you are looking to save some time figuring out which BBQ has won the title for the best 2-burner BBQ on the market I will save you some time. The Char-Broil 2 Burner BBQ has the gold medal.

The infrared burner technology combined with a nice deep hotplate and temperature controls makes the Char-Broil 2 a clear sand out in the market. Let us know which 2-burner BBQ is your go-to.

Ziegler and Brown Turbo Classic 2 Burner

Ziegler and Brown have been taking the Aussie BBQ market by storm. They certainly made a splash with their Ziggy BBQ Classic unfortunately the Ziegler and Brown Turbo Classic 2 burner is failing to live up to the hype of its portable counterpart.

The turbo classic has been long plagued with a variety of issues. The main challenge is a lack of heat and severe heat loss occurring when opening the lid. This often leads to meats being cooked unevenly and remaining grey on parts furthest from the burner.

When it comes to the Ziggy Turbo Classic there are simply far better 2 burner BBQs on the market.

Turbo Classic Specifications

• Cooking Area of 510 x 485mm
• Warming rack dimensions of 480 x 125mm
• Flame thrower ignition system
• 16 MJ main burner type
• Stainless steel control panel

Char Broil 2 Burner Performance T22G

The Char Broil range has long been renowned for producing quality and affordable grills. The infrared burner technology in the 2 burner BBQ ensures consistent heating across the entire BBQ.

The infrared system is also incredibly efficient and uses considerably less gas. The cast iron cooking grates provide considerable durability making for an all-round great quality product.

Now I know what you’re thinking that’s all well and good but what is the BBQ like to cook with? When cooking with the T22G the first thing I notice is that there is nice depth in the cooking plate allowing for some extra length for those long kebabs or snags.

Having a deep cooking surface also allows for plenty of space for the warming rack.

If I had a dollar for every time I burn my knuckles on a warming rack while fishing out that last potatoe.

At least that wont be an issue with the T22G as long as im equipt with a long pair of tongs.

The BBQ puts out a decent amount of heat and has fantastic heat distribution across the entire hotplate proving to be a great all round BBQ.

The incredible heat control and intensity is able to sear a steak perfectly.

The Piezo ignition system works incredibly well and is relatively durable. For its size, this BBQ certainly packs a punch although doesn’t have anywhere as much power as its 4 burner counterpart.

Matador Conquest 2 Burner BBQ

When it comes to the Metador conquest it’s a real middle-of-the-range kind of BBQ. The two-burner version heat distribution is a little even across the hotplate with the front cooking a little slower than the back.

The drip trays do a decent job at catching any mess that might occur and the heat adjustment dials have a solid sturdy feel to them. The cover is able to seal in the heat well and isn’t too heavy and bulky when lifting up and down while creating a nice seal for smoking meat. The plastic-like wheels can be a little
