Cinders Classic TG160 Twin Grill Gas Barbecue

The Cinders TG160 is a twin-grill propane gas barbecue that has been a fixture in outdoor commercial catering since 1984. It was designed around a straightforward brief — reliable heat, practical versatility, and the ability to work hard in environments where fixed kitchen equipment simply cannot go. Very little has changed in its fundamental design over the decades, and in commercial catering terms, that consistency is a mark in its favour rather than a limitation. It arrives ready to use with no on-site assembly required.

The TG160 has a well-documented track record across some of the most demanding outdoor catering environments in the UK, including multi-day festival sites where continuous service is the expectation rather than the exception. The high-pressure burner reaches cooking temperature quickly and maintains consistent heat even in exposed, windy conditions — a practical consideration that is easy to overlook when specifying outdoor equipment. A single 19kg propane cylinder supports approximately twelve hours of continuous full-heat service, giving operators a workable measure for planning gas supply against expected session lengths.

From an operational standpoint, the key practical advantages include:

• Stable on soft or uneven ground without additional fixing
• Rapid heat-up reduces pre-service preparation time
• Wind-resistant burner maintains consistent cooking temperature outdoors
• Self-cleaning cooking surface reduces downtime between service periods
• Accepts Gastronorm containers for buffet-style service presentation

The folded leg design shields the controls during transport, which is a considered detail for equipment that moves regularly between sites. It is not the right choice for very high-volume continuous service where a larger cooking area would be needed — if throughput is a primary concern, a heavier-duty model may suit better.

The TG160 is well suited to mobile caterers, event catering teams, outdoor hospitality venues, and operations that need a dependable portable cooking platform without the complexity of fixed infrastructure.
