ZIGGY PORTABLE BBQ - UNBIASED REVIEW - AFTER 3 YEARS OF ABUSE

[@chrisvaun8953]

Can anyone tell me the exact height of the bbq when folded up for storage, with the lid under the bbq

[@WACampingAdventures]

Gday chris! I believe with lid folded underneath it would be 290mm. Hope this helps mate!

[@richo2501]

The one thing you mentioned with the pots not fitting next to the lid, don't forget you can swing the lid of the ziggy all the way under the grill if you have the grease trap at the bottom, fully screwed in. That way it doesn't foul on the top of the pot and you just need to find a pot of the right diameter. Well, I'm pretty sure you can do that, I think it will work. Cheers

[@seanchristie7150]

Awesome honest review, the lis folding away is an absolute deal maker, all accessories should be included.

[@brianthompson59]

Great vids by you and Cam, love the frying pan hack and already a done deed. Now for the bacon and egg issue. Get a second half plate, take out the cast iron open grill and replace with the two half plates flat side up. Eggs one side, bacon the other, no rings required as now flat and no run off. (assuming you have the Ziggy level 😉). I have a Weber as well but only use at home, Ziggy is more versatile. Cheers

[@WACampingAdventures]

Nice one brian i like it mate!

[@WildTouring]

Nailed it Pete, you sold me on these a while ago!

[@WACampingAdventures]

Fricking genius you are with the hack mate

[@anthony.grisan]

great video! i have had a ziggy for 5 years and cannot fault it. only con i have is the legs of it feel flimsy and no matter how tight you make it it moves a bit. i think it needs another bolt on each side of the legs to make it more rigid.

[@WACampingAdventures]

Anthony mate good pickup, probably another thing i should have mentioned haha

[@anthony.grisan]

@@WACampingAdventures im currently making a madified leg ftting for this issue. watch this space ill share with you and wil touring

[@WesternAustraliaNowAndThen]

We got a BabyQ because when we bought it there wasn't much else on the market as far as I can remember. Looks like the Ziggy is a bit more versatile and to be honest, I can't work out how we would get the BabyQ in the 4x4. We only use it in the Coaster where we have a ton of carrying space. I like the Weber and we manage to do ordinary BBQ meals, roasts and pizza but looking at the Ziggy, if I ever had to change for some reason, it looks like that would be a better alternative.

[@WACampingAdventures]

Absolutely mark someone mentioned above that it comes down to planning, no use taking it for an overnighter but if you have the room, ie coaster, then throw it in lol

[@michaelhermans4753]

I opted for a voyager as it is very compact with folding legs That said it’s rubbish quality The baby Q is quality but takes up far too much room The Ziggy certainly looks compact Dash 4x4 did a hack cutting the Ziggy legs down to fit in his caravan tunnel locker Will definitely look into the Ziggy Thanks Pete

[@WACampingAdventures]

Michael mate have not heard of the voyager but will check that out for sure!

[@markandmandyoutandabout]

Love ya work mate we are just starting out in KZbin and we learn lots by watching experts like you in action :)

[@WACampingAdventures]

Experts? I dont know about that! You guys will kill it! Enjoy the process and you will love it!

[@purleybaker]

This is a fantastic video. It's a great review and you are funny. Thanks.

[@brianroberts3575]

love your enthusiasm, plus the great tips from you and Cam, Great video!

[@WACampingAdventures]

Thanks so much brian!

[@ohanatravels12]

Hi pete we found a stainless steel flat and grill for our 2 burner ziggy and I know they do the flat plate for the single burner. So no more loosing those pesky eggs lol.

[@WACampingAdventures]

hahaha damn the amount of eggs ive lost ohana haha thanks and will keep an eye out for it!

[@jamcofec]

Excellent real world review.. thanks!

[@barryholley6332]

Hey Pete, not sure where to see Cams videos. Did you get detail on the fry pan and where to purchase that Cam had. Is this video to old to get feedback. Regards Barry

[@WACampingAdventures]

Barry mate i believe cam has made a ziggy video detailing the pan! I hope this helps as i cant remember for the life of me haha

[@LandySmurf]

Good video. I think the main reason people go the Ziggy is because if the lid. I do find cleaning a Weber is easier.

[@WACampingAdventures]

I tend to agree with you, the cooktop feature also sucked me in but turned out to be useless

[@stum9813]

Good review. I've had one for about 5 years now and found the trivet set useless as well - also needs planning if you want to use the grill as well. Neat little hack with the roast set, I'm gonna have a play with mine but I went the webber roast set 🙁. For me the size is the biggest downer. Mine is mainly relegated to beach days or where we will be in one spot for a week to smash out roasts and pizzas!

[@WACampingAdventures]

Stu absolutely spot on. The planning thing should be mentioned for sure.

[@shawncody4660]

Oh thanks claire, still going strong too im loving it

[@cameronsmith2701]

Any tips mate on how to keep the temps stable whilst cooking a roast ?

[@WACampingAdventures]

Cameron mate no unfortunately, i have not had this problem if anything mine can get a little hot hey. I know on a forum online there is a screw behind the control know that can adjust flame setting. Hope this helps mate!

[@cameronsmith2701]

@WACampingAdventures cheers mate

[@ingridmatschkephotography]

Very informative, thanks.

[@WACampingAdventures]

Thank you for watching!

[@scale2tail]

Geat review mate. I might look at getting one. 👌👍🏻

[@smurfzilla5756]

G'day champ I got the twin burner ziggy and the flat plate you have on yours is designed for a twin buyer lol. I need to get one for it I also have a trivet and found it to work great for mine. I take one grill plate off and the trivet gets its own burner. Down side to mine is the lid doesn't fold under like yours. Great review though love the hack cam came up with.

[@WACampingAdventures]

Oh dang did not even know mine was for a twin cheers for pointing that out!

[@shaungill6992]

Great vid mate it's the small things like that that make all the difference 👍

[@WACampingAdventures]

Totally agree shaun!

[@markpalmer5787]

Great video Pete. Already have a Baby Q, with Temp gauge. Love it, cooked so many yummy things on it. From Roasts, to cakes, muffins and chicken wings. The Ziggy looks good, maybe when the Q dies, I'll change. But till then. The Q stays in the back of the Ute... Cheers Mark...

I hope i did not come across to discount the webers, i truly Love them also!!!

[@markpalmer5787]

@@WACampingAdventures No you didn't. You've given a fair comparison between the two...

Interesting Pete…👍👍

Great video mate. Its always been a battle between Ziggy vs Weber. 🇦🇺👍🍺❤️

[@WACampingAdventures]

Yep spot on exactly

[@TimSargent77]

pete how did you find the lowest flame setting. Did you have take off the temp knob and adjust the small screw. I have found it hard to keep the temp under 280 with the lid closed and flame on lowest setting

[@WACampingAdventures]

tim mate funny you say that, have heard of this issue i must have been lucky i have not had to do anything as yet!

[@LVNITUPM8]

[@WACampingAdventures]

Might even be an exaggeration daz!😂😂😂

[@adamhunt318]

I believe the Ziggy has a gas off thing once the flame goes out and the Webber Q doesn’t so a lot of caravan parks won’t let you use them for that reason cheers

[@reddustadventures]

Another good review Pete. ( and off sider Cam ). Pro’s and con’s for everything hey. 👌. Cheers Brad and Fi #reddustadventures

Another fantastic episode mate Buying the thing is the cheapest part, it’s all the great extras available that send ya broke😂😂, Weber is exactly the same 😂😂 Love it when you get together with Cam, you guys work well together 👍👍

For sure mark thats a bit sneaky isnt it

[@rooster8039]

Rad...👍🍻...

[@swompa]

We had a Weber family q and after years of slow roasting bacon and eggs (seriously it took over an hour), sold it and got a Ziggy. Certainly different units and I don’t know if our Weber had a fault which caused ultra low cooking temperatures but it just didn’t work for us. Our last trips we have gone for the little Dune glass topped fry pan simply due to the small amount of space it occupies along with a campfire + camp oven. No fires will result in the Zigg coming with us again.

[@WACampingAdventures]

Swompa those glass lid frypans are really really underrated i believe. Almost no need for a portable ziggy or weber i reckon

[@nuggets.6774]

Hi there. I've had a Baby Q for years and it cooks bacon and eggs super quick. Your problem may have been a dodgy regulator? My sister bought a larger Weber Q and despite only using it a few times, it never heated up properly. I used my hose and regulator on it and hey presto - it now works fine.

[@deancooper674]

thats exactly Why we bought a ziggy.... so it would fit in our tunnel boot in the caravan ..... the webers are too high ... :)

[@WACampingAdventures]

Im so glad cam made me mention that dean! He is a smart bloke

[@krump743]

Whats the gas consumption like. Obviously u use that ziggy alot, how much gas did u use on ur 10 day trip, as lugging the ziggy and a gas bottle large enough is a huge con. Interested to know what the efficiency is like.

[@WACampingAdventures]

Damn krump so glad you brought that up. Again my Pea brain misses alot. The gas consumption is unreal, found out at the last minute that for the ten day trip that i only had a third of a 4.0kg bottle. But lasted three cooks and also a roast and still did not run out yet.
