The Discovery 1000R 3B built-in barbecue from the prestigious Australian brand Beefeater has been designed with a clear focus: to offer versatility, durability and high-end aesthetics in outdoor kitchens. This three-burner model combines professional cooking power with elegant design and top quality materials, ideal for those who wish to transform their outdoor space into a true outdoor gourmet area.

Thanks to its built-in configuration, this barbecue integrates perfectly into kitchen islands, masonry structures or customised outdoor kitchen modules, providing a clean, minimalist and contemporary aesthetic. Its robust construction, coupled with patented cooking technologies, make this barbecue an indispensable tool for demanding home cooks and outdoor cooking professionals alike.

Superior power and total heat control

The Discovery 1000R 3B features three powerful, independent burners made of heavy-duty cast iron, a material that retains and distributes heat evenly across the cooking surface, eliminating annoying cold spots. Each burner is designed to withstand high temperatures continuously without warping or rusting, guaranteeing a long service life.

With a total power of 13.3 kW (approximately 4.43 kW per burner), this barbecue offers excellent performance even when cooking large quantities of food. This power level allows temperatures of over 300 °C to be reached in just a few minutes, ideal for searing meats to perfection, roasting crispy vegetables or simmering food with the lid closed like an oven.

In addition, the burners are strategically positioned to maximise thermal coverage across the entire cooking area, facilitating precise temperature control in discrete zones.

Seamless integration and optimised ventilation for any outdoor kitchen

The Discovery 1000R 3B is designed for recessed installation in non-combustible surfaces such as granite, stainless steel, concrete or stone countertops. Its modular design allows for harmonious integration into modern outdoor kitchen projects, where the equipment must be functional, aesthetic and durable.

The fitting dimensions are exact:

  • Overall width: 690 mm

  • Total depth: 520 mm (including additional 20 mm for rear ventilation)

  • Minimum recess height: 200 mm

  • Height of the barbecue with closed lid: 450 mm

  • Height with lid open: 820 mm

  • Total weight (with lid): 45 kg

For a safe and efficient installation, it is essential to allow an additional 10 cm on each side of the unit, and at least 20 cm at the rear, as the lid needs clearance to open fully without obstruction.

In addition, this model requires the mandatory use of Beefeater’s original inset rails, which ensure the stability of the appliance, the necessary ventilation and precise alignment with the worktop.

Oven-style cooking with absolute control

The barbecue is equipped with an oven lid made of black vitreous china enamelled steel, which not only offers a refined and contemporary aesthetic, but also provides excellent thermal insulation. This type of coating is resistant to corrosion, exposure to the sun, thermal changes and continuous use, ensuring a long life without discolouration.

The lid system allows the cooking cavity to be completely closed, transforming the barbecue into a convection oven perfect for slow cooking, roasting, smoking or recipes that require thermal stability. In addition, the integrated analogue thermometer in the lid allows you to monitor the internal temperature without opening the lid, ensuring precise, efficient cooking without heat loss.

Authentic flavours without flare-ups

The Discovery 1000R 3B incorporates Beefeater’s patented advanced vaporising heat deflector system, which has an essential dual function:

  1. Itredirects and vaporises the juices that fall from the food, returning them in the form of aromatic vapour that imbues each piece with that signature smoky flavour.

  2. It minimises the formation of direct flames, as the fat does not come into immediate contact with the burners, which improves safety, reduces the risk of fire and facilitates subsequent cleaning.

This system creates a more uniform and protected cooking atmosphere, ideal for perfect searing without burning the food.

Maximum versatility in every preparation

The cooking surface includes two main cooking zones, both measuring 32 x 49 cm:

  • A vitrified cast iron grill, perfect for meats, fish and vegetables.

  • A reversible griddle, which allows you to cook everything from eggs and cheeses to delicate seafood or caramelised fruits.

Both pieces are coated with matt porcelain, which prevents food from sticking, facilitates cleaning and improves heat retention. The use of vitrified cast iron ensures durability against extreme temperatures and resistance to rust, maintaining its functionality even after years of use.

In addition, it includes a 60 x 14 cm top warming rack, ideal for keeping cooked food at temperature or toasting bread without exposing it to direct heat.

Structural safety and comfort in prolonged use

It incorporates a system of front ventilation grilles, strategically placed to allow the correct dissipation of heat from inside the module or cooking island. This feature is key in built-in installations, since:

  • Prevents overheating of the units.

  • Prolongs the useful life of the installation environment.

  • It ensures constant cooking without thermal fluctuations.

Thanks to this system, prolonged firing sessions are possible without compromising the safety of the environment or the integrity of the materials.

Immediate and reliable start-up without batteries

Each barbecue burner is equipped with Beefeater’s unique patented quartz ignition system, which allows immediate flame activation with a simple push of a button. This mechanism requires no electricity or batteries, making it ideal for outdoor environments where reliability and autonomy are essential.

The quartz ignition works by mechanical friction, generating a powerful spark even in wet or windy conditions, ensuring a quick and hassle-free cooking start.

Total flexibility for any installation

This model can be operated with butane, propane or natural gas, allowing it to be adapted to different types of installation. To use natural gas, an official conversion kit must be purchased separately to ensure efficient and safe operation.

This flexibility makes the Discovery 1000R 3B an ideal barbecue for single-family homes, country houses, urban terraces or even outdoor dining facilities.

Maintenance and recommendations for use: Extend the life of your barbecue and ensure optimal performance

The Beefeater Discovery 1000R 3B barbecue is constructed from high-quality materials and designed to deliver professional performance in demanding conditions. However, like any cooking equipment exposed to high temperatures and outdoor conditions, it requires regular maintenance to ensure its longevity, safety and operational efficiency.

Below is a comprehensive maintenance protocol divided into daily, weekly, monthly and seasonal actions:

1. Clean immediately after each use

After each cooking session:

  • Turn on the barbecue for 10 minutes with the lid closed to char any food residue.

  • Turn off the burners and, while the surface is still hot but safe to touch, brush the grates and griddle with a stiff wire brush.

  • Once cool, wipe with a damp cloth and soapy water and dry with paper towels.

  • Remove any solid debris from the grease collector or bottom tray, if applicable.

2. Weekly or fortnightly deep cleaning

Every 3 to 5 uses:

  • Remove the griddle, grill, grease tray and vapour deflectors.

  • Wash them with hot water, mild degreasing detergent and a long-handled brush.

  • Rinse thoroughly and dry completely before reassembling to prevent rusting, even if the components are vitrified.

  • Clean the inside of the cooking cavity with a damp cloth, removing any grease or residue build-up.

3. Monthly safety inspection

Once a month, carry out a technical check of the gas system and the general condition of the barbecue:

  • Check the gas connections and tighten the joints if you notice any looseness.

  • Ensure there are no cracks or signs of wear on the hose. If you detect a gas odour, do not light the barbecue until the problem has been corrected.

  • Test the quartz ignition system when cold to ensure that the spark is produced in all burners.

  • Check that the burner holes are not blocked by carbonised residue.

4. Weather protection

Although the barbecue is made of resistant materials such as cast iron and vitrified porcelain, continuous exposure to the sun, rain or prolonged humidity can gradually deteriorate the finishes:

  • Cover it with a waterproof and breathable cover, preferably an original Beefeater cover, designed to allow air circulation and prevent condensation.

  • Avoid leaving it completely exposed to heavy rain or frost when not in use. If possible, place it under pergolas, roofs or semi-protected structures.

5. Seasonal maintenance (every 6 months)

Before the start of summer and at the end of autumn:

  • Remove all moving parts and perform a thorough cleaning.

  • Lubricate the grills and griddles with vegetable oil to protect the cast iron before storing them (if you store them).

  • Clean the front ventilation ducts and ensure they are not blocked.

  • If you use natural gas or gas cylinders, inspect and replace filters or pressure regulators if they are nearing their expiry date.

Additional tip: If you use your barbecue frequently, consider having it professionally serviced annually to certify the gas system and check the structural integrity of the unit.

Recipe for Roasted Aubergine Rolls Stuffed with Ricotta and Pistachio Pesto

A delicate, sophisticated and versatile recipe, ideal for surprising guests at an outdoor dinner or as a starter for a gourmet evening. This dish makes perfect use of the cast iron griddle on the Discovery 1000R 3B barbecue, maximising the natural caramelisation of the aubergine and enhancing the flavour of the ingredients with a slight smoky touch.

Ingredients for 4 people (8 rolls)

For the aubergines:
  • 2 medium, firm, smooth aubergines (preferably thin-skinned)
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • Sea salt flakes and freshly ground black pepper
For the ricotta filling:
  • 250 g fresh ricotta, well drained
  • 50 g finely grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 clove of garlic, finely chopped or pressed
  • Zest of 1 lemon
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • Ground white pepper to taste
For the pistachio pesto:
  • 50 g natural pistachios, unsalted and shelled
  • 1 generous handful of fresh basil leaves (approximately 20 g)
  • 1 small clove of garlic
  • 50 ml mild extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • Salt to taste

Step-by-step preparation

  1. Prepare the aubergines: Wash and slice the aubergines lengthwise into thin slices (4 to 5 mm thick). Lightly brush each slice with olive oil and season with salt and pepper on both sides. Preheat the barbecue grill to medium-high heat (200°C) and grill the slices for 2-3 minutes on each side, until golden brown, flexible and lightly marked. Remove and set aside.
  2. Prepare the ricotta filling: In a bowl, mix the drained ricotta with the Parmesan, garlic, lemon zest and juice. Add white pepper to taste. Mix well until you have a smooth, thick and slightly acidic cream.
  3. Prepare the pistachio pesto: Blend the pistachios with the basil, garlic, lemon juice and olive oil in a food processor or with a hand blender. Adjust the texture to your preference (thicker or thinner) and add salt to taste. Set aside in the fridge.
  4. Form the rolls: Place a generous spoonful of the ricotta filling at one end of each slice of roasted aubergine and roll up tightly. You can secure with toothpicks if necessary. Return the rolls to the griddle for another 2-3 minutes to heat through and soften the cheese.
  5. Final assembly: Serve the rolls warm with a drizzle of pistachio pesto on top, fresh basil leaves and, if desired, a touch of freshly ground black pepper.

Version with animal protein (non-vegetarian):

For a heartier version:
  • Add finely chopped Iberian ham, prosciutto or smoked pancetta to the ricotta filling (50-70 g).
  • You can also wrap the rolls in a thin slice of Serrano ham before reheating them on the griddle to achieve a crispy texture on the outside and a creamy texture on the inside.

Barbecue cooking tips:

  • For a subtle smoky flavour, close the barbecue lid for the last 2 minutes of cooking.
  • Ensure the grill is pre-seasoned or well-oiled to prevent the aubergines from sticking.
  • You can double the recipe and serve as an accompaniment to meat or as part of a Mediterranean tasting platter.
