Pitmaster Size
10 - 12kg
Solid Hardwood
Brisbane
Handcrafted
Lifetime
Warranty
The Large is the pitmaster's board. A solid 10 to 12kg workhorse built for the biggest cooks.
At 700mm × 450mm, the Large is the flagship of The Australian Brisket Board range. It is heavy, dense and built to take anything you throw at it. A full packer brisket. A pair of pork shoulders. Full racks of ribs side by side. Comp teams, BBQ restaurants and serious home pitmasters reach for this board because nothing else in the lineup has the real estate or the weight. Once you have one, you stop questioning whether you need more board.
Deep Juice Channel
Oversized full-perimeter groove handles the run-off from a full packer brisket without overflowing. Catch the jus, pour it back.
Reinforced Handle Grips
Deep cut-away grips on each end make a 12kg board safe to lift, carry from the smoker to the bench, and present at the table.
Heavy-Duty Rubber Feet
The board does not move under pressure. Bench surfaces stay protected from scratches, moisture and the sheer weight of the timber.
Reclaimed Australian Hardwood
Built from salvaged Spotted Gum, Blackbutt, River Red Gum, Sydney Blue Gum, Tallowwood and Jarrah. Density is what gives this board its weight.
Why We Stock This Brand
Timber that already had a life before this one.
Every Australian Brisket Board is built from ex-demolition Australian hardwoods that have already lived decades as floorboards, beams, railway sleepers and structural timber. That timber gets milled, sorted and rebuilt by hand at the family-owned workshop in Brisbane.
The result is density, weight and grain character that new timber cannot match. No two boards look the same. Spotted Gum runs chocolate brown. Blackbutt is blonde and honey-toned. River Red Gum runs deep red. Whichever timber yours arrives in, the board is built to outlast the next several generations of pitmaster in your family.

Frequently asked questions
Is the Large worth the upgrade over the Medium?
If you regularly cook full packer briskets, run comp teams, cook for restaurants or feed big crowds, yes. The Large gives you the working surface and the weight to handle the biggest cooks without compromise. If you mostly cook for the family and occasional entertaining, the Medium is the better pick.
Why does the Large weigh so much?
Density. Australian hardwoods like Spotted Gum, Ironbark and Jarrah are some of the heaviest timbers in the world. At 700mm × 450mm of solid reclaimed hardwood, the Large comes in at 10 to 12kg depending on the timber blend. The weight is not a drawback. It is what keeps the board planted while you slice through a tough brisket bark.
Can I get it delivered or do I need to pick up?
Both options are available. Sydney metro delivery can be arranged through BBQ Republic, though many customers prefer in-store pickup from our Wetherill Park showroom given the weight. Call 0434 010 411 to discuss what works best for your suburb.
Will my board look exactly like the photos?
No, and that is the point. Every board is built from reclaimed timber, so shades, grain patterns and colour vary from board to board. Some lean honey-blonde, others run deep chocolate brown or rich red. The photos show the style and construction. Your board will be uniquely yours.
What timber is the board made from?
Mixed reclaimed Australian hardwoods sourced from ex-demolition timber. The blend typically includes Spotted Gum, Queensland Blackbutt, River Red Gum, Sydney Blue Gum, Tallowwood and Jarrah. Each board uses whatever timber the workshop is working with at the time, which is why no two boards look identical.
Is there a warranty?
Yes. The Australian Brisket Board comes with a lifetime warranty on materials and workmanship. Cared for properly with regular oiling and hand washing, these boards do not wear out.
