About Outdoor Central | Born From A Passion For Outdoor Cooking

Born From A Passion For Cooking And Living Outdoors.

Outdoor Central was established in 2016, born from a genuine passion for enjoying time outdoors and cooking over fire. What began as weekends spent around charcoal, sharing food with family and friends, grew into a business built around helping others do the same.

At its core, Outdoor Central exists to support the outdoor lifestyle through quality outdoor cooking gear. We focus on products that help people cook better outdoors, whether that’s in the backyard, under an alfresco, or around a fire with mates.

Built Around Outdoor Cooking

Right now, Outdoor Central is centred on outdoor cooking. We specialise in charcoal BBQs, spits, Parrilla grills, fuels, and essential outdoor cooking accessories. Everything we offer is chosen with real-world use in mind, gear that performs properly, lasts, and makes cooking over fire more enjoyable.

We believe cooking outdoors should be practical and approachable. Good fire cooking is not about perfection. It is about understanding heat, using the right fuel, and enjoying the process as much as the food itself.

Fire Cooking Is More Practical Than You Think

One of the biggest misconceptions about cooking over charcoal and live fire is that it takes too long or is inconvenient. While it does require a little more involvement than gas, it is far more practical than many people expect.

Once you understand how to manage heat and fuel, fire cooking becomes predictable, efficient, and incredibly rewarding. The flavour, control, and versatility you get from cooking over fire far outweigh the small extra effort. For many people, it quickly becomes their preferred way to cook, not just for entertaining, but for everyday meals as well.

Built By People Who Actually Use This Gear

Outdoor Central is run by people who genuinely enjoy cooking outdoors. We use the gear we sell and choose products based on hands-on experience, not trends or marketing hype.

Our range is intentionally focused. If a product makes outdoor cooking harder instead of easier, it does not belong here. This approach allows us to stand behind what we sell and provide advice that actually helps people get better results.

A Brand With Room To Grow

Outdoor Central was built as a natural extension of a broader outdoor lifestyle. While our focus today is firmly on outdoor cooking, the brand is designed to grow alongside the people who use it.

As Outdoor Central evolves, our goal is to expand the range in a considered way, adding products that support spending more time outdoors and enjoying it properly. For now, our priority is doing outdoor cooking well, offering the right gear, the right advice, and a solid foundation to build on.

100% Australian Owned

Outdoor Central is a 100% Australian-owned business. We source and offer products with Australian conditions, cooking styles, and outdoor spaces in mind. Being locally owned allows us to stay hands-on, responsive, and genuinely invested in helping our customers get the most out of their setup.

Good advice matters just as much as good gear. When you contact us, you are speaking with people who understand outdoor cooking and are always happy to help, whether you are just starting out or refining your setup.

Why We Do What We Do

What drives us is knowing some of the best memories are made outdoors, around a fire, with good food and good people. Outdoor cooking slows things down in the right way. It creates connection, encourages conversation, and turns meals into moments.

Outdoor Central exists to help more people experience that. Better food, better gatherings, and better moments outdoors.
