Double the capacity. Same clever four-in-one design that folds flat to nothing.
The Hark BBQ Prep Station Large is the big-cook version of the most useful tub at the BBQ. A collapsible 16 litre tub with a lid that doubles as a cutting board, so you can prep your meat and veg, carve straight on the lid, serve from the tub, and pack the leftovers away in one piece of gear. Twice the volume of the Medium for the serious cooks and the bigger crowds, and it still folds flat to 4.2cm and tucks away when the cook is done.
Lid and Cutting Board Combo
The lid lifts off and flips over to become a cutting board. Carve a full packer brisket on top, then drop the slices straight into the tub below.
Collapsible Design
Folds flat to just 4.2cm when not in use. A full 16 litres of capacity that stores away like it is barely there.
Doubles as an Ice Tub
At 16 litres, the Large holds serious ice. Fill it up and it becomes a proper drinks tub for a party or a long cook.
BPA-Free Food-Grade Plastic
Crafted from premium BPA-free, food-grade plastic. Safe for direct contact with meat, veg and ice.
Why It Earns a Spot
The kit that does four jobs at once, at full size.
Most BBQ accessories do one thing. The Hark Prep Station does four. Prep, carve, serve and store, all in a single collapsible tub, which means less gear cluttering the bench and less to wash up at the end of the cook.
At 16 litres, the Large is built for the big jobs: full packer briskets, multiple racks, a tray of veg for a crowd, or a tub of ice and drinks for the party. When you are done, it folds flat to 4.2cm and disappears, the same as its smaller sibling.

Pairs with the Grill Mate BBQ Blanket
The Prep Station handles prep, carve and serve. The BBQ Blanket handles the rest phase in between. Pull the brisket off the smoker, wrap it in the blanket and let it rest for one to two hours. When it is ready, carve directly on the Prep Station lid and serve from the tub. The Large is particularly well matched to the BBQ Blanket for big cooks: a full packer brisket rested in the blanket, carved on the Large lid, and served from the 16 litre tub in one clean sequence.

Frequently asked questions
How much bigger is the Large than the Medium?
The Large holds 16 litres, double the Medium's 8 litres. Open dimensions are 51 x 41 x 18 cm versus the Medium's 40 x 32 x 14.5 cm. If you regularly cook full packer briskets, feed a crowd, or want a proper party-size ice tub, the Large is the one to get.
Is the lid strong enough to actually cut on?
Yes. The lid is designed to double as a cutting board, made from the same premium food-grade plastic as the tub. It handles everyday carving and slicing. For heavy daily chopping of a hardwood-board calibre, a dedicated timber board is still the tool, but for prep, carving and serving at the BBQ, the lid does the job well.
How small does it fold down?
The Large collapses flat to just 4.2 cm high, down from 18 cm open. Even at 16 litres of capacity, it stores flat in a cupboard, a caravan or the boot of the car without taking up bulky space between cooks.
Can I put hot food or liquid in it?
It is built from premium BPA-free, food-grade plastic and is well suited to BBQ meats, vegetables, ice and cold drinks. As with any food-grade plastic tub, avoid filling it with very hot liquids straight off the heat. Let hot food rest briefly before transferring.
How do I clean it?
Hand wash with warm soapy water and dry it thoroughly before collapsing and storing. Drying before you fold it away prevents moisture being trapped in the collapsed tub.
Does the BBQ Blanket pair well with the Large Prep Station?
Yes, they are a natural match for big cooks. The Large Prep Station covers prep before the cook and carving and serving after it. The BBQ Blanket covers the resting phase in between, holding temperature for up to four hours while juices redistribute through the meat. A full packer brisket rested in the blanket, carved on the Large lid, and served from the 16 litre tub is the complete sequence in two products.
Can I pick one up from the BBQ Republic showroom?
Yes. The Hark Prep Station is available for immediate pickup from our Wetherill Park showroom Monday to Friday 10am to 5pm and Saturday 9am to 2pm. Sydney metro delivery is also available. Call 0434 010 411 to arrange.
