The True Cost of a Cheap BBQ
Choosing a communal BBQ based only on price can lead to higher costs in the long run. While staying on budget is important, making decisions solely based on cost can result in poor quality, high maintenance, and frequent repairs.
At Christie, we know that low prices can be tempting. However, project managers lured by cheap options often end up costing asset owners and maintenance teams more.
Why a Specialist BBQ Manufacturer Is Better
Not all BBQ makers are the same. Many companies produce various products, but Christie focuses only on BBQs. We invest in research and development to create long-lasting, efficient, high-performing BBQs.
General manufacturers may offer lower prices, but their lack of expertise and focus on cost-downs inevitably mean lower quality and poor after-sales support. Our focus on BBQs ensures better design, durability, and reliability, which saves you money over time. A Christie BBQ isn’t just a purchase – it’s an investment in quality and peace of mind.
The Advantage of In-House Support
Excellent after-sales support is just as crucial as the BBQ itself. That’s why we offer specialised, in-house technical support, giving you direct access to experts who know our products inside and out. We also provide free contractor training to ensure our products are maintained to the highest standards, ensuring they last longer.
Many manufacturers use third-party contractors for support, which can result in delays and inconsistent service. Our internal team provides fast troubleshooting and repairs, reducing downtime, user complaints, and costs. Reliable support means smoother operations and fewer headaches.
Built to Last: A BBQ for Life
A BBQ isn’t just a one-time purchase. It is a long-term investment in an appliance that is expected to perform reliably for many years. At Christie, we design and engineer our BBQs with the entire lifecycle in mind, making them easy to use, maintain, and repair.
Reducing costs means reducing material gauges or component quality, which affects not only the product’s performance and reliability but also its lifespan and the frequency of replacement.
Our BBQ products are meticulously engineered to be durable and efficient, featuring design elements that minimise waste and simplify cleaning. Cheaper options might seem like a bargain, but frequent repairs and high maintenance costs quickly add up.
Quality and Service
Quality and service shouldn’t be an extra – they should be expected. At Christie, we take pride in our top craftsmanship and excellent customer support.
Choosing a BBQ manufacturer based only on price is a risky move. Hidden maintenance costs, inefficient designs, and poor service often cancel out any initial savings. Instead, focusing on quality and support ensures long-term value for owners, operators, and users.
Choose Wisely for Long-Term Value
Meeting project budgets is essential, but the best value comes from wise investments. At Christie Barbecues, we understand the allure of cutting costs, but we also know that selecting a BBQ manufacturer based on the lowest price can benefit one party in the short term while potentially leading to long-term costs for other stakeholders.
A specialist BBQ manufacturer with in-house support and a focus on longevity will ultimately save you time and money. Don’t be fooled by low upfront costs—invest in quality, and your BBQ will serve you well for years.
