Simple and quick to assemble. Solidly built with lid to keep smoke to a minimum. Ideal for beach or camping. Food browned beautifully evenly. Cooking with the lid on keeps the meat moist and tender without cooking too quickly or burning on the outside.

Dimensions: 118 x 158 x 66cm. Grill area: 60 x 47cm; 3 burners; 2 folding wings; warming rack; heat indicator in lid.

Comments

Quite cumbersome and doesn't wheel round corners very well but side wings fold in neatly for storage. Sturdy construction. Heat is less so at edges of grill plates but more evenly distributed on the left hand side than right. Burgers and sausages browned well and remained tender inside. Chicken quite quick to cook but a little red inside - needed longer and lower heat. Roomy grill with griddle useful for keeping warm or frying onion. Three piece grill and griddle makes it easier to clean.

Easy to assemble with clearly labelled nuts and bolts. Really useful windshield, on which the grill rack can rest at different heights. It lit easily and maintained its heat well. Wooden handles on rack make it easy to adjust to different heights. Food browned evenly and remained moist.

Dimensions: 104 x 130 x 50cm. Grill area: 64 x 48cm. 3 burners; 2 side wings; warming rack ;storage shelf; lavarocks supplied; splash protector; temperature indicator in lid.

Comments

Poor build instructions- diagrams unclear and too small. Browning uneven - less heat in centre than sides. Slow cooking but not too much flare up. Good browning on sausages and burgers. Chicken slow to cook but nicely browned. Sturdy racks and well constructed. Heavy to move despite four wheels. Hob lid is a useful feature.
