The Entertainer BBQ HD is a commercial charcoal BBQ with a 100 x 50 cm cooking area, sitting between the Family Barbecue HD and the Elite BBQ HD in our heavy duty range. It suits people who regularly cook for a crowd: big family gatherings, club days, food trucks and restaurants.
The cooking area is split across two 50 x 50 cm grills, the same two-piece setup as the Elite. The body is reinforced 304 stainless steel with an insulated double wall and a fixed fire brick base, so more of the charcoal's heat stays in the firebox and reaches the food.
You get about 40% more grill area than the Family HD, without needing the 127 cm of length the Elite HD takes up.
Two 50 x 50 cm Grills
Each grill lifts out on its own. Take one out and you can get to the coals and top up the charcoal while food keeps cooking on the other half. Two square grills are also easier to carry to the sink than one piece a metre long.
The split suits a two-zone charcoal fire too. Bank the coals under one grill for searing and keep the other side lighter for finishing thicker cuts or holding food until everyone is ready to eat.
How Many Skewers It Cooks
The 100 cm length takes around 60 skewers across two rows of about 30, which makes it a strong fit for Lebanese and Turkish style BBQ. Shish kebab, kofta and lamb or chicken skewers can all go on together, and wide Adana skewers suit minced lamb kebabs.
It handles the rest of a big cook as well: steaks, chops, sausages, butterflied chicken, seafood and vegetables.
Airflow and Ash Removal
A built-in airflow section feeds air to the charcoal so it burns more efficiently and gives stronger, steadier heat. The charcoal sits 14 cm below the grill, close enough to put a proper sear on meat.
When the cook is over and the BBQ has fully cooled, the removable stainless steel grate and ash collection section make the clean-up quick, so you aren't shovelling out a metre-long firebox by hand.
Commercial Charcoal BBQ Construction
Thin barbecues lose heat quickly and can warp when they're pushed hard. The Entertainer HD uses reinforced 304 stainless steel with a reinforced frame and square legs, so it stands up to regular high-heat cooking.
The double wall is insulated, which keeps the heat in the firebox instead of letting it escape through the sides. When we measured it, the inside wall was running at 400 to 500°C while the outside wall sat at about 80 to 100°C. That's still hot enough to burn, so keep kids and pets clear and don't lean on the body while you cook. The fixed fire bricks absorb heat and spread it across the cooking area, which helps it hold temperature through a long service and get more out of your charcoal.
Lid, Bench, Shelf and Wheels
A removable stainless steel lid covers the grills when you're not cooking. The reinforced 40 cm side bench gives you a place for marinades, trays and plated food right beside the fire, and the bottom shelf keeps charcoal and tools within reach.
Four heavy duty wheels let you roll it into position, and two of them lock to hold it steady while you cook.
Before Your First Cook
The BBQ needs light to medium assembly, and the tools and hardware to put it together come in the carton.
During the first few cooks you may notice the stainless steel move or flex slightly as it heats and cools. This is normal on heavy duty stainless steel charcoal BBQs and settles down with regular use.

FAQs
What's the difference between this and the standard Entertainer?
The standard Entertainer has a 100 x 44 cm cooking area. The HD is 6 cm deeper front to back at 50 cm, splits the cooking area across two grills and uses the reinforced 304 stainless steel build of the HD range.
What do I need to get started?
Charcoal, skewers if you're cooking kebabs, and a way to light the fire. A charcoal chimney starter gets the coals going without lighter fluid.
Can I use it undercover or indoors?
No. Burning charcoal produces carbon monoxide, so only use it outdoors in the open air, never inside, in a garage or in an enclosed area.
Is it suitable for a food truck or restaurant?
Yes, it's built for regular commercial use. Check your council's food business and ventilation rules before you set it up for trade, as requirements for cooking with charcoal vary.
How do I clean it?
Once it's completely cold, lift out the grills and wash them in warm soapy water, then wipe down the stainless steel body. Keeping it covered between cooks helps look after the finish.

🤔Who is Sydney BBQs❓
Meet Erik & Suzie, the dynamic duo behind Sydney BBQs & Rotisseries!
Our journey began in 2019, amidst the whirlwind of early parenthood. We decided to embark on a little side venture, leveraging our shared passion of BBQ. Having grown up with family BBQs, almost on a weekly basis, charcoal and sizzling grills felt like old friends to us.Our humble beginnings saw us selling charcoal from the confines of our garage. To our surprise, the demand was huge, with pallet loads flying off the shelves faster than we could stock them. It was clear we had stumbled upon something special. Fast forward five years, and our little side gig has blossomed into a comprehensive online emporium. From charcoal to rubs, grills to rotisseries, and an array of accessories including spit baskets, gyro discs, skewers, gloves, smoker tubes, and beyond, we've got all your BBQ needs covered.But it doesn't stop there. With loyal customers all over Australia, we're thrilled to announce the next chapter in our story: The grand opening of our very own shopfront. It's been an incredible journey, and we couldn't have done it without the unwavering support of our BBQ community. Here's to many more years of sizzling success!
We’ve built Sydney BBQs & Rotisseries with passion, and our customers have been a huge part of that journey. See what they say about us!
