Thicker steel: BeefEater barbecues use at least 1.5 mm steel for increased rigidity and strength.

Continuous Welding: Unlike many products which are simply tack or spot welded, BeefEater products have a continuous welded seal around all edges. This prevents leakage of grease onto the patio floor, a common problem in cheaper products.

Vitreous Enamel: Fired onto high grade steel at over 800°C, vitreous (glasslike) enamel provides a complete protective barrier around the base metal. Its benefits are many:

• Provides complete protection against rust
• Available in a variety of colors
• Exceptionally easy to clean
• Very scratch resistant
• Long lasting - does not peel off like paint.

Stainless Steel: Commercial grade 304 stainless steels are known to have the best high temperature strength together with superior resistance to scaling and corrosion. For this reason it is the most common of the steels used in commercial food catering and processing equipment. The benefits are:

• Highly attractive sheen
• Hard, long lasting, shock resistant
• Very hygienic.
• High degree of corrosion resistance

Even the drip tray is stainless steel, although on many other brands you'll look underneath and find it's less durable galvanized steel.
