Lifestyle Dominica 5+1 Burner Gas BBQ: Is It Worth It?
Lifestyle Dominica 5+1 Burner Gas BBQ: Is It Worth It?
Summer 2026 is well underway, and if you haven't yet sorted your outdoor cooking setup, now is the time to act. The long evenings are here, gardens are full of life, and the expectation to host well has never been higher. Whether you're feeding a crowd on a Saturday afternoon or cooking a quiet midweek meal outside, the barbecue you're working with makes all the difference.
The Lifestyle Dominica Gas Barbecue 5+1 Burner is one of the most complete gas BBQs we stock, and right now it's available at £539.00, down from its regular price of £699.99. That's a saving of £160.99, and for what you get in return, it's genuinely excellent value.
What Makes the Dominica Stand Out
The first thing you notice about this barbecue is the build. A powder-coated black and stainless steel finish gives it a sharp, premium look that holds up well in outdoor conditions. It doesn't look like something that'll rust and fade after a single season. The cast iron steel grills across the five main burners reinforce that same quality; cast iron retains heat exceptionally well and delivers the kind of sear marks and consistent cooking temperatures that make a real difference to the food you're putting out.
The double-skinned hood is a feature that often gets overlooked when comparing barbecues, but it matters. When you close the lid to cook roasts, whole chickens, or indirect cuts, the double skin keeps heat locked in efficiently. You're not losing temperature every few minutes or compensating by cranking the burners. It cooks more like an oven, which opens up the range of what you can actually prepare outside.
Then there's the side burner. Six burners total means you have real flexibility. Keep a sauce simmering, warm up sides, or handle something that doesn't belong over direct flame, all without having to go back and forth to the kitchen. For anyone who takes outdoor cooking seriously, a side burner stops feeling like a luxury and starts feeling like a necessity.
Thoughtful Design for Practical Cooking
Lifestyle have clearly thought about the experience of actually using this BBQ, not just the spec sheet. The side preparation shelf gives you somewhere to rest plates, prep ingredients, and keep utensils within reach. The internal condiments rack means your sauces and seasonings are right there when you need them, rather than balanced precariously on a garden table somewhere behind you.
The integrated ignition within each knob is a small but appreciated detail. No separate ignition button to fumble for, no lighters needed. Turn the knob and it's lit. The wheels and trolley handle make repositioning the barbecue straightforward, whether you're moving it out from storage, adjusting for wind direction, or shifting it around the patio. The handle also includes utensil hooks, keeping your tongs and spatulas off the cooking surface and within easy reach.
A warming rack (73cm wide) sits above the main cooking area, giving you space to keep food warm without continuing to cook it over direct heat. When you're managing multiple items for a large group, that extra rack space is genuinely useful.
The Numbers Behind the Grill
For those who want the full picture:
The main cooking area measures 76cm wide by 43cm deep, which is a substantial amount of grill space. The total thermal input is 19.6 kW across all burners, giving you serious heat output when you need it. The assembled unit stands 125cm tall, 156cm wide, and 60cm deep, so it's a full-size barbecue. It's not a compact patio model; this is built for people who cook properly outside.
A hose and propane regulator are included, so you're not hunting for accessories before you can get started. Assembly is required, but the components are well-designed and the process is straightforward.
Optional extras include a rotisserie kit, cooking utensils, and a dedicated cover, all available separately if you want to build out your setup further.
Protect Your Investment With the Dominica Cover
If you're spending £539 on a barbecue, protecting it through autumn and winter is a sensible decision. The Lifestyle Dominica Barbecue Cover is custom-made to fit the Dominica's curved shape exactly, currently on sale at £62.00 (down from £82.99). It's weatherproof, prevents rusting, and fits the assembled unit at 155cm wide, 66cm deep, and 120cm tall. Even if you're storing the barbecue in a shelter or garage for winter, a cover adds an extra layer of protection that extends the life of the product considerably.
