The £1,000 to £2,000 band is where outdoor cooking shifts from accessory to genuinely permanent garden installation. The cookers here are larger, heavier, made with thicker steel and built around higher-output burners or refractory ceramic ovens. They are designed to cook well, season after season, for at least a decade.

What you will find in this band
Large multi-burner gas BBQs, full-size wood-fired pizza ovens in refractory ceramic, sizeable plancha grills with 10 to 15 mm plates and fire pit and outdoor cooking combinations with serious cooking capacity. Cooking surface areas run from 5,000 to 8,000 square centimetres, plenty for groups of 8 to 12.
Why people invest at this level
Most buyers in this band are not just upgrading their BBQ, they are committing to outdoor cooking as a regular part of how they eat. The materials, build and warranties at this price reward that level of use. A refractory ceramic pizza oven, for example, takes longer to heat but holds the heat for hours, which means you can cook a full evening's meal from one fire.
Brands in this band
Clementi refractory ceramic pizza ovens, Igneus wood-fired ovens, Adezz Corten plancha and fire pit cookers, and larger Lifestyle Appliances gas BBQs. Each piece is chosen for the longevity of the build and the cooking quality it actually delivers.
Frequently asked questions
How long does a premium outdoor cooker last?
With a fitted cover and reasonable care, 12 to 20 years is typical. Refractory ceramic pizza ovens last longer if kept dry and protected from frost.
Do I need a base or stand for these cookers?
Most include a stand. Pizza ovens are often supplied on a wheeled trolley or a fixed base. Plancha grills usually include a steel frame. Each product page lists what is included.
Is professional installation required?
No, in most cases. Gas BBQs need a regulator and hose connection, which most buyers fit themselves following the manual. Refractory pizza ovens are usually wheeled into position on the day.
Is delivery included on heavy cookers?
Yes. Free UK delivery applies to every order regardless of weight or value.
