Ziegler & Brown 2-Burner BBQs

Ziegler & Brown’s 2-Burner BBQs are claimed to ‘never-ever rust’, so you can stay reassured the Ziggy will still look fine after leaving it outside all year. The twin-burner cooking system is also said to provide plenty of versatility. Use both burners for apparently powerful direct grilling, or save on gas and cook smaller meals with just one burner. You can also close the high-domed hood to create baked goods, or leave it open to grill seafood.

It takes two to tango, which is why many of the 2-Burner BBQs use the brand’s signature flame thrower ignition to keep the fires burning. Where multiple burners are being used and one burner goes out, the already lit burner(s) will automatically re-light the other. Available in most Ziegler & Brown products, the function is also said to ensure it only takes on try to ignite the barbeque.
