When it comes to outdoor cooking in New Zealand, two names you’ll see often are Bull BBQ and Masport. Both promise quality and style — but when you’re choosing a grill to anchor your backyard cooking for years, the details matter.
At Bull BBQ NZ, we believe a grill should deliver more than the basics — it should be a centrepiece, a workhorse, and a joy to use every time you fire it up. Here’s why a Bull BBQ outshines Masport in all the ways that count.
1. Heavy-Duty Build Quality That Lasts
Bull BBQ grills are crafted from premium 304-grade stainless steel — the gold standard in outdoor kitchen construction. This means exceptional resistance to rust and corrosion, even in New Zealand’s coastal conditions.
Masport offers stainless steel models, but many use 430-grade steel or mixed materials, which can be more prone to weather damage over time. With Bull BBQ, you’re investing in commercial-grade durability that’s designed to last decades, not just seasons.
2. Professional-Level Performance
High-BTU burners, even heat distribution, and precision temperature control make Bull BBQs a dream for serious cooks. Whether searing steaks, smoking brisket, or baking pizza, you get consistent, restaurant-quality results.
Masport BBQs perform well for casual cooking, but they’re more suited to weekend sausages and kebabs than ambitious, multi-course outdoor feasts.
3. Built for Outdoor Kitchens
Bull BBQ’s range includes built-in and freestanding grills, plus full outdoor kitchen islands, side burners, and storage modules. You can create a complete, custom outdoor cooking space.
Masport’s line-up leans heavily toward freestanding and portable grills, with less focus on modular, integrated setups.
4. Industry-Leading Warranties
Bull BBQ offers lifetime warranties on key components — a rare sign of long-term confidence.
Masport’s warranties typically range from 5–10 years, which is good, but not quite on the same level for an investment appliance.
5. Global Reputation, Local Support
Bull BBQ is a globally respected brand, trusted by chefs, hospitality venues, and grill lovers worldwide. Supported here in NZ, each Bull is built to thrive in tough outdoor environments.
Masport is a well-known Kiwi brand, but their grills are manufactured to meet general lifestyle needs, not necessarily the rigorous demands of professional cooking.
The Verdict:
If you're looking for a long-lasting, professional-grade grill that can anchor a full outdoor kitchen, Bull BBQ is your solid choice. Masport works well for casual weekend barbecues but can’t match Bull BBQ's durability, performance, and warranty.
Built to perform. Built to last. Built for you.
