You can’t survive very long on a trip on sandwiches and dehydrated meals, which is why the Gasmate Voyager BBQ is going to be your new best friend on the road.
The generous cooking surface means that you can char, cook and grill to your heart’s content on this thing, and it has a cast iron plate and half grill cooking surface - so you have a few different options. This is ideal to use in your caravan with the addition of an optional hose with a bayonet fitting and will fit into most caravan tunnel boots.
This powerful stainless steel burner also comes with a rotary ignition for easy lighting – which means you don’t have to fumble with matches. This unit is also easy to take along with you on all your off-the-grid expeditions as its lightweight and compact for easy transport and storage.
Whether you want to fire her up for some bacon and eggs for brekkie, or snags and chops for dinner – the portable Gasmate Voyager BBQ will allow you to cook up a storm on the road.
You say the width is 42cm when packed. Is this at the widest point? What is the width of the feet? So what sliding tray could it fit on?
G'day Shaun,
Yes, the measurements taken are at their widest point, so these will need to be considered when checking the space you have available.
The physical width of the BBQ legs/feet is 36cm.
Hose and regulator… is it included in box and how long is hose please?
G'day Rod,
Yes, the hose and regulator are supplied with the Voyager BBQ. The hose is 110cm including the regulator.
Hi there. Just wondering whether it's advisable to remove the gas hose from the bbq when storing and/or transporting. And if not advisable, is this something you recommend against? If not, what spanner size should I use?
G'day Rod,
Yes, we'd recommend removing the hose when storing and transporting your BBQ so that it doesn't get damaged. You'll just need an adjustable shifter to remove/tighten the nut holding the hose to the BBQ fitting.
Do the legs fold and does it has a storage bag?
G'day Steve,
Yes, the Voyager BBQ Legs fold up for transport. They don't come with a storage bag, but you can purchase one separately in the 'you might also like' section on the product page.
Was looking to buy a Baby Q for camping - to cook pizzas etc so wondering how this compares. Are they similar?
G'day LozT,
We're not overly familiar with the Weber Baby Q as we don't sell the Weber brand, but based on features they appear to be fairly similar. The Voyager gives you options to cook directly on the plate or grill, as well as closing the lid for oven type heating. The Baby Q appears to have similar options and features, however, in terms of overall sizes and usability, it's hard to say how they directly compare.
Stone that fitted inside with the lid closed
G'day Phil,
Yes, you should be able to cook a pizza in the Voyager BBQ using a Pizza stone, there is 14cm of depth in the lid, so you'll have plenty of height for toppings etc.
Good reviews, just wondering where it's made
G'day James,
Gasmate manufactures the Voyager BBQ in China.
Is the lid high enough to cook a roast in it and also can you put a full cooking plate and no grill
G'day Ian,
There is 14cm of heigh under the hood, so you can generally cook a butterflied roast or a mini-roast. The Voyager isn't designed to be used with two flat plates as there won't be enough airflow.
Can the hot plates go in the dishwasher?
G'day Polly,
It's not something we'd recommend as the enamel coated cast iron might not survive the process. We'd recommend hand washing the plates as needed.
Could you please let me know what the cooking height is. Thanks
G'day Naomi,
The internal height between the hood and plat of the Gasmate Voyager Portable BBQ is 14cm.
Hi. How would I order a replacement hot plate side? Thanks Jason
G'day Jason,
We can generally order spare replacement hotplates if you've lost or damaged your hotplate. Please just flick through an email service@snowys.com.au and we can confirm pricing and availability.
is it suitable to cook pizzas and cakes
G'day Geoff,
The Voyager should be ok to do pizza, there is a built in temperature gauge in the hood, and you can roast, so pizza should also be ok. Cake should be ok too, but you might have to have a few practices to make sure you get the temperature and timing right.
We have the connector on our van and I notice you have the correct connector hoses available. But, it isn’t clear that the setup would be compliant with the new regulation.
G'day Susan,
Gasmate doesn't specifically mention the flame safeguard, however, in the user manual, they do list that it is LPG Caravan bayonet suitable and is certified to Australian and New Zealand Standards. The best bet if you've got any questions will be to give Gasmate a call on 1300 174 876 and they should be able to verify any information you need or clarify any concerns you have.
Gday I know the BBQ has one burner, was wondering if it’s strong enough to cook with the lid opened or treat it Ike a Weber and keep it shut. Thanks in advance if you respond :)
G'day Faz,
The beauty of the Voyager is you can use it lid open or closed depending on what you're cooking and the outside temp. I find that I shut the lid on mine if I'm cooking in winter, just to help cook things through before they freeze!
I have external gas connection on my caravan which is connected to 9kg gas bottle. What hose would I require.
G'day Celena,
You can run the Voyager BBQ from your caravan using this bayonet hose.
Just wondering if I can use a camp kettle and toaster on the grill?
G'day Garry,
Unfortunately not, the Voyage BBQ is just designed for use as a BBQ/grill plate. A kettle won't boil on the BBQ plate, and it may cause some damage to the plate or kettle. You could theoretically use the grill plate as is, to make toast.
Gasmate Voyager Portable BBQ
G'day Sue,
The Gasmate Voyager BBQ is best suited to be used on metal tables, we'd suggest the Oztrail Slat Table, Zempire Slatpac Std or Lrg or the Outdoor Connection Fortis. The only legs available are the ones that are permanently attached to the BBQ that give it clearance between the bottom of the BBQ and the table you sit it on.
My motor home has a maximum of 275 kpa for any gas appliance. What is the kpa for this BBQ?
G'day Ross,
Good news, the Voyager BBQ comes with a hose that has an inline 2.75kPa regulator, so if you're wanting to run it off your motor home then you'll just need to use a gas hose with 3/8" SAE to bayonet fittings.
What table/stand do you recommend for this? I’m worried about putting it on top of my plastic Coleman table and bench set.
G'day Hamish,
It's best not to put stoves or Bbq's on plastic for obvious reasons! A metal surface will be a much safer option you could look at a table like the Oztrail Slat table or a Zempire Slatpac or the Outdoor Connection Fortis table.
To fit bbq and maybe a few accessories.
G'day Chris,
I've checked our display model and it does fit in the Medium Canvas Duffle Bag, it's tight but not too much of a struggle. If you were wanting to fit extra bit and pieces in, then the Large bag would give you plenty of room
How long is the hose length and can I connect this barbecue to the wall gas outlet I have in my backyard given that my home gas source is LPG tanks?
G'day Alexandra,
The hose length is 110cm including the regulator. In theory you should be able to connect this to you LPG set up at home, however you'll need to make sure you have the right fittings and also double check how your existing supply is regulated. Not being able to see your set up in person, I'm hesitant to give you a clear indication either way. I'd recommend you follow up with some advice from a gas fitter.
Do you know if this has worked?
G'day Jay,
Thats a great question and we're not aware of anyone who's done it! In theory you could but I dare say it would be less efficient and take a longer time than a stove. You best bet would be on the open grill side. If you try it out, let us know how you go!
Can the Coleman propane cylinder be used with this BBQ? Thanks :)
G'day Nicky,
The Voyager Portable BBQ is not compatible with Coleman propane cylinders. The unit is supplied with a gas hose that has a POL fitting so it will fit your 9kg style gas bottles.
I would like to use this as an oven as I don’t have one in caravan
G'day Sue,
You should be able to cook a meatloaf inside the Voyager Portable BBQ,
Bit of a novice here ! I have a gasmate 2kg cylinder along with the gasmate voyager bbq. Looks like I need an adapter to connect both, would you be able to assist me here pls ?
G'day Arun,
You'll be able to use the Voyager Portable BBQ with a 2kg gas cylinder, you'll just need to use a Gas Cylinder Adapter to connect the hose to the bottle.
does a normal gas bottle fit with this bbq
G'day Mike,
The Voyager Portable BBQ is supplied with a hose that has a POL fitting on the gas bottle end. You'll be able to use this with a standard 4kg or 9kg gas bottle that has a POL fitting.
So i can turn the heat up and down
G'day Chris,
It's not a temperature control as such but more a valve control. The dial controls the amount of gas being released and therefore, you can lower or increase the flame/heat output. Instead of a numeric temp indicator, there are markings to show in which position the gas is increased and which its lowered. Hope that helps :)
Hi. I have the gasmate voyager portable BBQ and the gasmate classic 2 burner. I’d like to connect them to the same gas bottle. Any idea what connectors I need? I see you have a connector listed that will do this...but I’m not sure if it’s the right sized connection. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
Hi Luke, you'd need a combination of adapters for this. I'll assume you are using a 9KG POL gas bottle (POL being the fitting for the gas bottle on the Voyager BBQ hose).
If you firstly attach a dual outlet POL-POL adapter to your bottle (https://www.snowys.com.au/pol-cylinder-to-dual-pol-outlet) you'll be able to screw the Gasmate Voyager BBQ hose into one side. THen you'll need a POL-3/8 BSP adapter (https://www.snowys.com.au/gas-cylinder-adapter-pol-38-bsp-lh-straight) to go into the other side so you can attach your 2
If your gas bottle has a 3/8 BSP fitting (the fitting for the gas bottle on your 2
I do recommend that you take care when putting multiple adapters together as you are increasing the points in which leaks can occur. Always check for leaking gas with soapy water before lighting a flame and if in doubt, consult a plumber or gas expert.
Is there a conversion kit available to connect the Voyager BBQ to my Natural Gas connection at home?
G'day Jeff,
We've just been in touch with the team at Gasmate, and unfortunately, there is no conversion kit available for the Voyager BBQ to use it on Natural Gas at home.
As this is a single burner, just wanted to see the position of the burner ie. Where it sits, centred?
G'day Rozina,
The burner is in the form of a long rectangular bar with flame release points along each length. It is
Hello. Could you give me the dimensions of the cooking area? Thanks.
Sure thing, Lyndal. The cooking area is half hotplate and half grill, with the total length being 46 cm, and the width at the widest point is a little over 33cm.
I hope this helps.
Hi there Can I connect a 2kg or 4kg POL cylinder to this bbq?
G'day Anne,
Yep mate, you can :) The Voyager BBQ includes a POL hose and regulator so you should have no problems with connecting your 2kg or 4kg cylinder!
Do you sell replacement handles for the bbq?
G'day Sian,
No mate,
Hi, is it possible to get this bbq with two grill surfaces instead of the hot plate?
G'day Alex,
The Gasmate Voyager doesn't come supplied with two grill plates at all, but I'm sure we could source a spare for you because we've had them in the past. Send us an email at service@snowys.com.au and we'll follow it up and get back to you with a price and availability.
i want to purchase this primarily to cook a roast at christmas time. what is the height from the grill plate to the top of the hood? thanks
G'day Connie,
The hood of the Gasmate Voyager Portable BBQ is 14cm high, so it might be ok for a chicken or small turkey roll, but not a large roast.
Hi. I was looking at purchasing the voyager portable and I was just wondering what the heating part was like (like cooking wise on how long it would take to heat to cook something)
G'day Michael,
I've not used one myself, but they have an output of 11000 BTU which is pretty reasonable for a small burner. There's a video you can watch on YouTube by clicking here of a chap demonstrating his, this might help give you an idea of the performance. Have a read of the customer reviews on our site as well, most people seem very happy with theirs.
I am limited with space on my van.
G'day Garry,
I've just spoken to the team at Gasmate and they said that it hasn't been designed for use with the legs folded up and it wouldn't be advisable to cook with the legs folded.
I have found a gasmate single hot plate in your website. Does it fit to the voyager barbecue?
G'day Ranga,
Unfortunately, the Gasmate Single Grill Plate doesn't fit on the Voyager Portable BBQ. The good news is we do have some spare Voyager hotplates in store at the moment. If you need a spare, give us a call on 1300 914 007 and we can get a special order in place to be sent out to you.
Hi. Thinking about getting one for my husband for Xmas, are their still delays with the hot plates?
G'day Amanda,
All the Gasmate Voyager Portable BBQ's are now coming through with the correct hotplates supplied.
Hi on my BBQ there's a metal fitting with a rectangular hole between the hose connection and the bottom of the bbq - what is it for?
G'day Jake,
I wasn't entirely sure on this one, so I gave Gasmate a buzz. They confirmed that the small fitting your referring to has an opening to allow oxygen to be sucked into the stream of gas to create the perfect mix of oxygen and LPG, creating a crisp blue flame. There's no worries about the opening as the pressure of the gas means that air is sucked into that space rather than gas escaping.
Will probably make a simple bracket to attach to the side of the caravan, like a hook or latch, so its easy to remove, do not need a table to put it on, and put the whole thing in a plastic box for transporting without grease etc; dripping on everything.
G'day David,
The Gasmate Voyager Portable BBQ doesn't come with the bayonet fitting I'm sorry to say. The hose that it comes with is 1m long.
Hi there just wondering do you suggest anything that should be done to the hotplates prior to first use?
G'day Zach,
You can season the hotplates of your Gasmate Voyager Portable BBQ if you'd like to. Oil the hotplates up and put them over a high heat to season them.
As shown is a grill and plate. Can you get a full plate to fit as an accessory.
G'day Glen,
Getting a second hot plate for the Gasmate Voyager Portable BBQ is a special order that we'd need to arrange for you, however, Gasmate don't recommend the use of 2 x hotplates at one time. Feel free to give us a buzz on 1300 914 007 and our customer service team will be able to help you out.
Or are they still 2x grills?
G'day Amanda,
The Gasmate Voyager Portable BBQs that we've got in stock now are the ones with one grill and one hotplate.
Hi How much is the second Hotplate
G'day Larry,
Getting a second hot plate for the Gasmate Voyager Portable BBQ is a special order that we'd need to arrange for you. Feel free to give us a buzz on 1300 914 007 and our customer service team will be able to help you out.
Hi... I prefer to do my bbq cooking on solid hotplates, would it be possible to buy a hotplate to replace the grill section, or even a single piece hotplate to fit this bbq?
G'day Jaye,
I've just double checked with our purchasing officer, Dan, he told me that he could get his hands on a spare hot plate for the Gasmate Voyager Portable BBQ for you. Feel free to give us a buzz on 1300 914 007 and our friendly customer service team can organise one for you.
Will they be sending the hot plate out automatically or do we have to notify someone?
G'day Sigrid,
Sorry about this - can you please email our customer support team at service@snowys.com.au with your order details and they'll be able to assist you.
can you buy the solid half hotplate for this bbq as the one I have has 2 grills.
G'day Michael,
Unfortunately, we've just found out that Gasmate has included 2x grills instead of 1x grill and 1x hotplate in their recent shipment which is an error on their part.
We're keen to rectify this - would you mind emailing our Warranties Manager, Nick at service@snowys.com.au to tell him about your situation and he'll be able to provide you with a range of options going forward.
Just wondering if this comes with a drip tray or where the fat and oil will run to.
G'day Joel,
We, unfortunately, don't have a display model (or stock) currently for me to check this.
However, from memory, I'm almost sure that the Gasmate Voyager Portable BBQ has a drip tray at the base on the cover to catch what comes down through the grill. In saying this, it's still a fair effort, as it is with any open grill BBQ, to keep the casing clean.
can you buy an additional char plate to make the bbq a full char grill with no solid plate?
G'day Julie,
Great question! Unfortunately, there are no additional hot plate options currently available for the Gasmate Voyager Portable BBQ.
G'day Art,
I've just spoken with our Gasmate distributor again, and they've confirmed that unfortunately, there are no char grill hot plate options currently available for the Gasmate Voyager Portable BBQ.
An option, however, might be that you can get a replacement hotplate which as the same as what comes in the box, but we only have our one display model, so can't physically confirm whether you could sit two separate char grill halves side by side.
Conpletely new to this and looking for one to take camping. Will this connect straight to a 9kg gas bottle or are there extras we would need to get or change the gas bottle we will be using?
G'day Jess,
The Gasmate Voyager Portable BBQ has a POL fitting so it will fit directly to a standard 9kg gas bottle. Happy camping!
Does this bbq come with a transport bag? Thank you
Unfortunately, it doesn't include a carry bag Shandelle.
You could try something like the canvas duffle bag from Oztrail, the large size would be the best choice but it is a little large. Any other options are going to get a little expensive for a carry bag sorry.
I have managed to fit mine in a 60L duffle bag. The only trouble is you have to take the gas hose off.
**Update 18/2/19 - We've not got some Oztrauil Duffle Bags back in stock and the best size to transport the Voyager BBQ will be the Medium Duffle Bag.
Hi, Do the legs fold under the bbq? Any chance you could tell me the height once there folded please?
G'day John,
I have just checked this out on our display model, and yes the legs of the Voyager Portable BBQ fold under, and the entire height of the BBQ with the legs folded is 28cm.
would just like to see the burner. this would be perfect for us but also need the burner for a kettle and fry pans
G'day Sarah,
You can see what the burner in the Voyager Portable BBQ here, but it looks like you're not going to be able to put a kettle or fry pan on this BBQ as there wouldn't be anything to stand it on once you remove the grill.
How high is the dome and are these suitable for cooking a roast?
G'day Doug,
The height of the dome/hood is 14cm so since it has a temperature guage, if you have a small roast, it should work fine!
Bbq tools - stainless steel or silicon ?
G'day Mary,
There is no official recommendation for tools to be used with the Gasmate Voyager Portable BBQ, however, a good set of sturdy metal utensils should do the trick. Silicone doesn't tend to go so well with an open flame which you'll likely get through the grill.
Can you purchase pot /frying pan stands that will stand over the burner ( after taking the plates off )?
Hi Miles. Unfortunately due to its burner design there are no after market stands to place a boiling pot or frypans on. For this type of design you may need to look more at one of the popular two burner ranges of stoves?
Does the burner run the length of the BBQ?
Howdy Miles. Yes the burner on this unit is two sided and runs the full length of the BBQ.
Low pressure or high pressure LPG? Is the burner run the length of the BBQ? Can you get boiling pot stands that stand over the burner?
Howdy Miles. the burner on this particular BBQ runs the full length of the hotplate and grill as a single double sided burner. It is a low pressure BBQ with a POL fitting and a regulator included in the hose length that is suitable for any of the medium to large bottles with a POL fitting. Due to the design of the burner there isn't a stand available that can be used safely to place a kettle or boiling pot over once the hotplate and grill are removed. Cheers!
Does this bbq have a bake function with the lid down?
G'day Maria,Â
The Voyager Portable BBQ has a hooded lid and a temperature gauge so technically you could use it to roast or bake, though we probably wouldn't recommend using it to whip up a batch of muffins!Â
