Good points

Good Points

  • Capacity of the rotisserie is a maximum of 15kg.
  • Rotoscope rotisserie poles have 3 height positions.
  • Easy to assemble rotisserie with clip lock forks, stored inside BBQ.
  • Retractable power cord but 1.5 meters only.
  • Good open access to food.
  • Easy to clean, most parts fit into a domestic sink.Note: When we originally tested, the pedestal stand was an optional extra to make it a more permanent fixture. It now comes with the barbecue.
Bad points

Bad Points

  • Maximum amount of charcoal is 1.2kg when igniting we found this was too much 1 kg is better.
  • Rotoscope rotisserie poles are a little stiff when raising and lowering.
  • Exterior temperatures can become very hot.
  • Unable to use BBQ during total fire bans.
  • No side panels to protect from drafts. Charcoal sits low mostly protected from the elements the lid can be used as a wind break on the back of the BBQ.
  • Need to have a power source nearby.
  • Chargrill rack can be lifted on one side to add or distribute charcoal, this can be difficult if you have a full rack of food cooking and it's also dangerously hot.
  • Not suitable for balconies due to the amount of smoke produced.
