This is a complete blog guide for the Sizzler & Galleymate Caravan, RV, and boat bbq products. In this guide you will find tips, hints, and troubleshooting around flame failure devices, seasoning, cooking, cold spots and much more. This guide will give you everything you need to know about the Sizzler and Galleymate range!
Flame failure (also called a flame safeguard) is the safety feature that shuts off gas if a burner flame goes out. In Australian caravans, it’s the key difference between a portable BBQ and one that’s appropriate to plug into a bayonet/quick-connect outlet. Sizzler Deluxe 2.0 and Sizzler MAX use built-in thermocouple-based flame failure on both burners—here’s what that actually means.
A weak flame on a caravan bayonet outlet is usually a setup mismatch, not a “bad BBQ”. Bayonet systems supply gas differently to bottle-fed BBQs, and the wrong hose/regulator arrangement can starve the burners. Before you start tinkering, confirm your BBQ is bayonet-suitable (flame failure on all burners) and follow safe checks—then work through the common causes below.
If you want the easiest fit and a lighter unit, choose the Sizzler Deluxe 2.0. If your tunnel boot has height restrictions, the Sizzler Deluxe Low Lid is designed for tighter-clearance spaces. If you want a deeper cooking surface and more room for bigger meals, choose the Sizzler MAX. All are caravan-ready 2-burner BBQs with built-in thermocouple flame failure, so the decision is mostly space, lid clearance, weight, and cooking capacity.
The best caravan BBQ setup depends on how you travel. Slide-out tunnel-boot setups are the easiest day-to-day, bayonet connection is convenient when done correctly, and fully portable bottle BBQs suit occasional cooks. If you plan to use a bayonet outlet, choose a BBQ with built-in flame failure, such as Sizzler Deluxe 2.0 or Sizzler MAX
If you plug a BBQ into a caravan’s bayonet (quick‑connect) outlet, it’s treated like part of the caravan’s gas installation. That’s why your BBQ should have built‑in flame failure protection on all burners and be used with correct isolation and safe fitment. This guide explains what to look for and why Sizzler is caravan‑ready.
We road-test Sizzler vs Weber for caravans and motorhomes, covering fit, low-pressure gas hook-up, safety, heat, roasting, wind, cleaning and storage. Both cook well; Weber shines lid-down. Sizzler’s 20,000 BTU power, rack + baking dish, slide-friendly design and built-in flame cut-off make cooking easier.
