Summer in New Zealand can be a bit of a gamble…
You’d think that would make picnics, BBQs and outdoor cooking not that popular for Kiwis. But the opposite is true! Together with our Aussie neighbours, we’ve made the barbie our own, and for many families it’s almost a year-round cooking tradition.
LPG: a key ingredient to a great barbie
If you’ve ever spent hours mucking about with charcoal, you’ll know why the classic 9kg LPG bottle is the Kiwi barbie go-to. LPG is available all around the country, supplies are great, and a full bottle can last you a whole heap of barbies!

LPG BBQs aren’t all about maximum heat, though. Pop the hood down, turn down the burners and you’ve got the recipe for some low and slow deliciousness. With an LPG barbecue, the heat is easy to control, and easy to see.

Say no to cold sausages!
The best BBQ in the world won’t do you any good – or help your reputation as a cook – if you run out of LPG half way through Waitangi Day family lunch. So why not set yourself up for summer with a full bottle?
When it comes to 9kg LPG bottles, the smart choice is to refill and save. Why waste what’s left in your bottle or swap your own trusty bottle? Just take your 9kg LPG bottle – empty or part full – to a Rockgas Refill and Save location and get it topped up.
Then head home, reconnect that bottle and get set to soak up the compliments that every hard-working barbecue cook deserves!
