The BeefEater Discovery 1200 series represents a complete solution for those looking for high-end outdoor cooking equipment. With fixed or mobile cart installation options and burner variants to suit different power requirements, these barbecues are designed to provide a unique, durable and versatile cooking experience. The series features premium materials, patented technology and a design designed to maximise comfort and safety.
Flexibility for integration into outdoor kitchens or stand-alone operation with a trolley.
BeefEater offers unparalleled versatility with the Discovery 1200 series, as it is available in both built-in and trolley models. The built-in versions are designed to integrate seamlessly into permanent outdoor kitchens, bringing a touch of sophistication and cleanliness to the space. This is ideal for those looking for a customised outdoor kitchen, where the barbecue becomes a fixed extension of the environment.
The trolley versions, on the other hand, offer the freedom to move the barbecue to any area of the garden or terrace, allowing the possibility of enjoying the kitchen in different locations and facilitating storage in winter. The trolleys include additional storage space, ideal for utensils, trays or even the gas tank, keeping the work area organised and uncluttered.
Variety of Material Options
The Discovery 1200 Series is available in two material variants, each designed to suit different aesthetic and durability needs:
- Black Enameled Porcelain Option: This model features a black enameled porcelain oven top, providing a sleek and sturdy appearance, and a stainless steel control panel for durability and easy cleaning. The main body is made of black enamelled porcelain, ensuring high resistance to corrosion and wear.
- Stainless Steel Option: This version features a stainless steel oven lid, ideal for superior outdoor durability and modern aesthetics. The body of the barbecue is made of porcelain enamel, combining the robustness of stainless steel with the elegance of porcelain. This design is perfect for those looking for a contemporary look and easy maintenance.
Burner Variety
The Discovery 1200 Series comes in 3, 4 and 5 burner versions, offering a variety to suit both small gatherings and large events. The burners are made of cast iron, a material that ensures exceptional durability and excellent heat retention. This feature is key to even and controlled cooking, allowing food to cook evenly, which is crucial for thick meats, vegetables or any food that requires meticulous cooking.
Each model is designed to match the heat output to the size of the cooking surface, meaning that the 5-burner model, for example, is able to cover a larger cooking area without cold spots, while the 3-burner model offers efficiency in a more compact space, ideal for patios or smaller cooking areas.
Deflector System and Anti-Flare® Technology
The stainless steel heat deflector system is one of the most advanced elements of this series. This patented system ensures that heat is evenly distributed over the cooking surface, eliminating hot and cold spots that often hinder precise cooking. In addition, these baffles function as vaporisers, maximising the flavour of food without relying on charcoal or wood.
Anti-Flare® technology is designed to control and reduce unexpected flare-ups that can occur when fats fall on burners. This not only improves the safety of the barbecue, preventing accidents, but also helps prevent food from burning or cooking unevenly, providing a pure and consistent flavour with every meal.
Innovation in Safety and Ease of Use
BeefEater’s patented quartz ignition system is a revolutionary mechanism that ensures each burner can be lit quickly and safely, eliminating the need for matches or external igniters. This system is integrated into the barbecue controls, which is ideal for lighting the barbecue with one hand, keeping the other hand free for handling utensils or ingredients.
Quartz ignition works by generating a precise and powerful spark directly at the burner when the knob is turned, providing instant ignition and reducing the risk of gas escaping without combustion. This system provides safety and convenience, allowing the user to concentrate on cooking without worrying about lighting the barbecue.
Space Saving and Convenient to Use
The Lift Ease lid opening system allows the lid to lift vertically, eliminating the need for additional space behind the barbecue. This is especially useful for small areas or for those who wish to place the barbecue against a wall. The vertical opening ensures that the lid does not touch the wall and prevents possible damage to the rear surface, maximising the use of cooking space.
In addition, this system provides easy and uninterrupted access to the cooking surface, allowing food to be inspected or handled without the need to bend over or make awkward movements. This feature is a testament to BeefEater’s ergonomic approach to the design of this series, with a focus on ease of use.
Fuel Adaptability
The BeefEater Discovery 1200 is designed to adapt to different fuel sources, an option that gives the user flexibility and the ability to choose the most suitable gas type according to location or personal preference. Equipped as standard for butane or propane gas, it can also be converted to run on natural gas with the purchase of a conversion kit.
This feature is ideal for those who want a long-term solution in urban areas where natural gas is accessible. Using natural gas reduces costs, eliminates the need to change gas tanks and is a greener option by reducing carbon emissions compared to other types of gas.
High Durability Cooking Surface
The cooking surface of the BeefEater Discovery 1200 is treated with a patented anti-corrosion finish, ensuring that grills and griddles maintain their integrity and appearance, even after prolonged outdoor use. This anti-corrosion treatment protects against moisture, sun exposure and general wear and tear, ensuring a long service life and a surface that is always ready for the next use.
The matt porcelain finish is not only aesthetically pleasing, but also makes cleaning easier, preventing food debris from permanently adhering and ensuring that the cooking surface maintains a clean and professional appearance. This allows for healthy cooking and minimises maintenance time after each use.
Protection and Efficient Cleaning
The vents built into the front panel of the barbecue allow a constant flow of air, helping to maintain an appropriate temperature and preventing overheating. These vents not only provide safety, but also enhance the cooking experience by allowing for more precise heat control.
The grease tray, designed to capture residues and liquids that are released during cooking, is easy to remove, making it easy to clean after each use. This tray protects the burners and prevents grease from accumulating, minimising the risk of flare-ups and keeping the barbecue in optimum condition for longer.
Modern Design and High Quality Materials
The BeefEater Discovery 1200 is constructed from high quality materials such as stainless steel and porcelain enamel, ensuring corrosion resistance, robustness and a stylish appearance that enhances any outdoor space. The stainless steel used in the control panel is rust resistant and withstands harsh weather conditions, while the porcelain enamel offers an aesthetically pleasing and durable finish.
This design not only adds aesthetic value but also ensures that the barbecue maintains its appearance and functionality for many years to come, without the need for costly replacements or repairs. The choice of premium materials makes this series a long-term investment in the outdoor kitchen.
Ideal for Baking or Searing Meats
The thermometer built into the lid of the BeefEater Discovery 1200 allows you to monitor the temperature without having to open the lid and lose heat build-up. This feature is essential for recipes that require slow, controlled cooking, such as roasts, or for reaching high temperatures quickly, ideal for searing meats.
The thermometer provides an accurate, real-time reading, making it easy to adjust the burners and ensuring food is cooked to perfection. This makes the barbecue not only suitable for traditional grilling, but also for more elaborate cooking methods, similar to a conventional oven.
Power Adjusted According to Model
The BeefEater Discovery 1200 Series is designed to offer power output according to the number of burners, ensuring efficient cooking on all models. The 3, 4 and 5 burners are calibrated to provide sufficient heat for the cooking surface, maximising gas efficiency and preventing thermal overload.
Total power ranges from 12.5 kW on the 3-burner model to 20.83 kW on the 5-burner model, allowing for fast and consistent cooking. This power is ideal for cooking large quantities of food in a short time and ensures that the barbecue is up to the task for any type of event or gathering.
