Bad points

Bad Points

  • No side panels to protect from drafts. Burner sits low so flame is mostly protected from the elements.
  • Hood and handle can become dangerously hot.
  • No warmer rack.
  • Small plastic side tables are removable only, not collapsible. Not very stable and has a smooth surface so need to be careful items do not slide off.
  • Option for a full hotplate or half hotplate need to be purchased separately.
  • Need to bend over slightly when lighting BBQ.
  • Firm pressure required to press to ignite may require a repeat pressing.
  • Fat drips under burners then drains into fat tray, need to clean under burners can be awkward.
  • Price does not include trolley, optional extra.
