Four burners is the standard Australian family BBQ: half grill, half plate, a hood, and enough space that nothing has to queue. The category runs from $229 to well over a thousand and the differences are in plates, burners, body and warranty.
What changes with price
At $229 to $349 (Jumbuck Portland, Horizon) you get enamelled steel, pressed plates, tube burners and a short warranty. The Horizon adds a trolley and shelves and is the value point.

Frequently asked questions
Is a 4 burner BBQ too big for a family of four?
No, if you use it properly: two burners on for a weeknight, all four for a roast with the outer burners on and the middle off. It uses more gas than a two-burner only when you light all of it.
Do I need a side burner?
Only if you will actually cook sauces or boil corn outside. Most side burners are used twice and then become a shelf.
