Bad points

Bad Points

  • Side tables are small.
  • Thermometer in hood may not be accurate.
  • No side panels to protect the food from drafts.
  • Burner sits high with a flame diffuser so flame is fairly protected from the elements, flame can be disturbed with strong winds .
  • Hood can become dangerously hot.
  • Only Ok to manoeuvre, 2 fixed roller wheels only, side table needs to be removed to access handle. Large side handle to lift the BBQ, need to pull the BBQ along gradually. A little awkward as the trolley legs can get in the way.
  • Trolley is not portable, not collapsible.
  • BBQ can be separated from trolley for travelling.
  • Small drip tray, will need to be cleaned regularly.
  • Burners are close to the cooking plates, can become very hot, need to monitor the temperature and adjust accordingly.
