Turbo Classic 3-Burner Gas Grill
Barbeques Galore imports its own line of grills. This one the
classic unit that hasn't changed much in years. This is a
grill designed for cooking and has no features other than the
main grill. While it has a good warranty and heavy components
the reliance on porcelain coatings forces you to take extra
care of the grill. While not a bad grill it doesn't take
advantage of more modern design or components. This is a good
grill but at about $600 there are other grills out there you
can buy.

Turbo Classic 3-Burner Gas Grill
Barbeques Galore is the worlds first fanchised grill store.
They are a big company who imports grills primary made in
China for the Australian and American market. It is an
Australian company. The Turbo Classic line are towards the
bottom of their grill lines. This grill comes in natural gas
and propane, on cart or as an insert. Barbeques Galore has a
good reputation for service and support and is in the business
for the long haul (they have over 150 stores). I have never
heard anything bad about their support.
This grill has three porcelain coated cast iron burners
producing 45,000 BTUs under a primary cooking area of 494
square inches. While this is a little light this grill does
produce good, even heat, though you might want to give it an
extra minute or two to heat up. The porcelain coated cast iron
cooking grates will require you to take good care not to chip
them but are a great cooking surface. If you're interested I'm
told you can change out the grates and burners for stainless
steel.
As a grill that can cook this is a good one. However, at about
$600 you can get many other grills with this size and power.
The primative design and limited features would probably limit
it's sale when stacked up against other grills at this price.
There really isn't anything that stands out about this grill.
If you get a good price on it and don't want anything more
than a basic grill then this wouldn't be a bad choice. You can
certainly do worse
