Aussie slang for a BBQ.
A barbeque.
Which, in Australia, is an outdoor cooking grill, usually using bottled LPG gas.
Usually a noun (although sometimes usable as a verb).
A kettle-style grill (usually called a “Weber” after a prominent manufacturer) can be considered a barbie, but is often distinct: the barbie is the gas-fired grill, the weber is the charcoal-fired kettle.
Most Aussies will use a barbie; using a weber is for wankers.
