Gasmate Orbitor Portable BBQ

G'day Scott,

As the plate and grill are enamel cast iron, they do not need to be rigorously seasoned- you can cook on them straight out of the box! :)

G'day Ryan,

Yes it is, the name changed when gas legislation updated to the LCC27 connection.
In terms of the size comparison, I'm not 100% sure as we dont actually sell the Webbers, but google suggests the cooking surface area is a similar size.

G'day Anna-Maria,

The cooking surface is 46cm x 33cm, which includes both the hotplate and grill.
Internally the height of the lid is 13cm.
Hope that helps!

G'day Warren,

We don't carry spares for these BBQs, but it is possible that at times, Gasmate have spares. You can reach out to them with the details below.

G'day Kane,

Basically you'd just use it like you would a BBQ at home.  If you're doing active cooking or grilling, then no.  If you've got thicker steaks, etc and the wind is up a bit, or you want to cook something like a roast, etc then you'd have the lid down.

Hope that helps!

G'day Peter,

The packed dimensions are based on the most external points as we understand most people rely on these for determining packing space.
The depth of the Oribtal BBQ when pack up (including handle, hinges, etc) is 42cm.
It may be a bit fiddly, but you could consider removing the handle when you're packing it away.

G'day Nathan,

This BBQ comes with the LCC27 gas hose, which I think is an Australian Gas Association requirement for the flame failure/safety features that these BBQ's need now days.
I'm not sure if you can straight swap with a 3/8th BSP hose, the product manual suggests only to use with the provided hose.
We don't currently carry anything that on paper would one suitable but it does look like Gasmate have a range of options on their website.
I'd probably give them a buzz and get the advice straight from the manufacturer - we're a bit limited by operation guidelines, but they might be happy to give other info.

G'day Andrew, 

I've just spoken to Gasmate and yes there is supposed to be a hole in the gas inlet. The square hole is an air inlet and is needed for the air to mix with gas where the gas is drawn in.

The reason gas won't leak out of those air inlet holes in your BBQ is because they're there to let air in. These holes work by mixing the air with the gas before it gets to the burners, creating that perfect blend for a good flame. The design is smartly crafted to keep the gas contained until it reaches the burners, where it's meant to be used for cooking. Those inlet holes are cleverly positioned to make sure your BBQ works safely and cooks up a storm without any gas escaping into the air around you.

G'day Grayzee,

I wouldn't say so, removing the grill will expose the burner which doesn't have the capability to sit a pot or billy over.
It may be something that you can solve with a DIY solution, using a steamer rack or cake cooling rack type thing to sit over the top instead of the cast iron hotplate.
It's not something we've tried out ourselves though, so we can't say for sure if it would work.

G'day Andrea,

This BBQ does not have a flame safeguard device fitted to hook up to a Caravan. Under the new regulations none of the stoves we currently stock have this feature or ability to connect to a Caravan bayonet system. Some more caravan-specific stores will have suitable stoves, hopefully we will have something in the future!

G'day Yonni,

I cant see any reason why you couldn't, some customers have happily baked bread in theirs.
The main thing would be keeping a consistent temperature, with wind being the big factor that would effect this.  I think if you've got your BBQ set up somewhere sheltered, you should be fine.

G'day Sandra,

There isnt a stand available for the Orbitor BBQ, but you can use any type of small table as long as its 50cm deep.
Check out our range of camp tables here.

G'day Phil,

We sure do, they fit in the Blacksmith Voyager BBQ Bag, you can find this in the "you might also like" tab on the product page.

G'day Jono,

Yeah, no worries!  I've just measured our display model for you, and the footprint on the legs is 57 x 35cm.

G'day Robert,

Ah!  Thast a bugger.  We dont have spares, I'm sorry.
Your best bet would be to get in touch with Gasmate directly:

Goodluck!

G'day Tony,

This gas BBQ comes with a LCC27 connected, and under the new standard these cant be used with a caravan/camper bayonet system.
