The new visitor BBQ has been installed at Kopua. Based on the burnt food residue on the hot plate it has already been in heavy use. The push button BBQ is self-contained and is started by pushing a single button. The hot plate warms up and is soon ready for cooking.
It stays at the right temperature for cooking for a preset time, then turns off automatically. The BBQ was installed by the Waikato District Council at an installed price of $9,000.
