“The BBQ is an Australian rite of passage, more a way of life than any one BBQ could fully represent. That said, as Australian cuisine advances so should the tools we use, which is why we are delighted to provide Australian consumers with a range of options this summer that can barbecue, smoke and grill all in one,” says Louis Alexander, Director, Singlepoint BBQ.
