Need Local BBQ Experts for Maintenance, Repairs or Installations Near You?

Check the Gas license!

As we are coming into our BBQ season please remember to check the Gas License of anyone that does Gas work on your home, (in WA it is a yellow card and should say 'No Restrictions' or 'Restricted to' which should mean a full license but with some restrictions which could be not able to service or install) not sure other states but please check that the person that is looking after your Gas Appliances, has a current card and shows it to you, if he says he has left it at home beware and dont use him or her! 

Please be careful..I must admit I have only been asked for my card a few times, although I carry it all the time, I guess with a company like Barbeques Galore and GasMate that we are agents for and recommends us that would be sufficient but even so please be cautious, Gas is a highly imfammable product and should be respected………….

There are too many Cowboys out there that arn't qualified or havent a clue what they are doing in relation to Barbeques so please ask for their credentials or ask me for a recommendation…….

Be safe,

Ross Barbitec

    Pizza Base Recipe – I get asked for recipes all the time and found that I haven’t done one for a Pizza base so I thought I would put this one on the Website. Its not hard, just follow the recipe and surprisingly, it works!!

    This pizza dough can be made by hand with 5 to 10 minutes of kneading, or the lazier way is to use a mixer with a dough hook for a few minutes (a lot faster!) It makes a pizza crust…
