Big Apple BBQ

Big Apple BBQ Big Apple Specializes in all types of fireplaces from traditional to modern, as well as outdoor custom kitchens & supplies. We even rent barbeque grills.

If you’ve got a New York minute to spare, let me tell you a little bit about who we are and where we came from. I opened Big Apple BBQ Center in 1989 as NYC’s first and only specialty retail store exclusively selling barbeque equipment and propane gas. And recognizing the difficulty so many metropolitan area New Yorkers faced in getting propane for their grills, we pioneered the propane gas home d

elivery industry and created two specialty propane delivery services - “Tony’s LPG” and more recently, “Big Apple Propane.”

Today, Big Apple BBQ is a full-service barbeque center providing sales, delivery and service of barbeque grills, smokers, patio heaters, chimineas, fire pits, BBQ tool sets, grill accessories and even replacement grill parts. And of course, the propane to heat things up. Our line of grills include propane and natural gas grills, charcoal grills, infrared grills, and electric grills, too. Our service department is the best in the industry, and staffed by our dedicated team of professionally-trained technicians. Unlike our competitors such as the “big box” stores or other online stores, being in the business for so many years has given us valuable hands-on experience with just about every make and model of barbeque grill for the last two decades. And we put this experience to work for our customers every day by individually selecting each barbeque grill we sell based on value, quality, and years of reliable service and parts availability. Another thing that sets us apart is how easy we make it for you. Whether you’re browsing our website for a specific grill, just doing some research, or even price-checking, feel free to give us a call if you have any questions. Nobody knows more than our staff of barbeque grill aficionados. We’ll be happy to help you choose a grill that best serves your needs. And lastly, we’re New Yorkers. Like you. That makes us neighbors. And neighbors look out for each other. So when you give us the privilege of serving you as a customer, we start that relationship by hand-assembling your new qualifying grill and delivering to your door – free of charge. That’s right, free assembly and free delivery. Pretty much everything but the grilling. We’ll leave that to you. But we want you to enjoy your new grill quickly and safely, it’s the least we can do to say thanks. (We love you too, New Jersey and Connecticut – you’re neighbors as well! Call us. We promise to do our best for you!)

So take a look around the site, compare and then give us a call. You will see why we are the best in the business.

This is a three-sided peninsula fireplace — installed last week in a Manhattan residence by Big Apple Fireplace, NYC’s largest fireplace specialist since 1994.
Italian travertine. Horizontal vein cut. Twin polished bronze columnar flues. Continuous-flame gas burner with three-sided viewing and a river stone aggregate bed. Zero-clearance certified. 65,000 BTU.
The peninsula format removes an interior wall without losing room definition — two seating zones, one heat source, no wrong seat in the room.

If you’re an architect, designer, or developer specifying a custom gas fireplace in New York City — this is what Big Apple Fireplace builds.

Showroom open in Astoria. DM for a site visit.

Concrete that looks like wood, sits right on top of your fireplace, and won’t get you in trouble with code. Interior design cheat code unlocked.

John F. Kennedy Airport called. They needed fireplaces for the first-class lounges. We said yes. One’s fully round. Because apparently we do that now. ✈️

That $299 grill looks like a great deal until you need a part and the part costs more than the grill did. We’ve been saying this since 1989. Buy it right the first time.

We were the first one in the area to carry Big Green Egg. Nobody wanted to sell it. Now the big stores can’t keep it in stock. You’re welcome.
