VonHausCharcoal BBQ – XL Portable Barbecue with Warming Rack, Fold Down Shelves, Temperature Gauge, Wheels, Cooking Grill, Air Vents – 2 in 1 Barbeque and Smoker – Grill Meat, Fish & Vegetables

I spent a long time looking for a new bbq. I was clear I wanted the ability to smoke meat, grill and have cast iron grill plates. This bbq had a sizeable cooking area too and ability to adjust the height of the heat so was what I went for.Arrived fast and was a massive heavy box. Building it was pretty simple - took me on my own about 90min with help of handheld electric screwdriver. Nothing too frightening here. Construction is solid and all parts lined up except one screw which is half in. Be careful with the screws though as there are no extras so you don’t want to thread one. It’s big but shelves fold down.Did first cook with it - smoking a brisket for 8hrs - and it performed brilliantly. Easy to control temperature with the vents. Easy access to add more fuel if required. Great cooking area so can use indirect heat. Tray for ash easy to remove and cleanVery happy. This is a well priced solid bbq that should stand the test of time

Well packed so take time to identify all parts.Instructions missing so found them online. Easy to follow but 2 brackets left after finishing and not in the instructions! Eventually worked out they fitted on the underside of the coal plate.Bolts fit very well and once everything tightened up it was very sturdy. Quite heavy but wheels make it easy to move around.Easily big enough for a family BBQ.

Just spent a couple of hours putting my barbecue together and it looks great. It'll be running like a train this week-end. Instructions clear and concise. All the holes aligned. The nuts and screws and screw driver are a very good quality. No crossed threads or stripped heads. The design is great too. But, (Oh come on, it's not a review without one) the fold down trays are a bit flimsy, I wouldn't trust it with much and one of mine wasn't notched correctly in the corner and slightly damaged, but the material is so thin you can bend it back with your hands. Lastly, there are some nice chrome features that set it off a treat but, the tight,, devils only give you 3 smart chrome screws to hang your barbecue tools etc. So, you're left with 3 unsightly blank screw holes. I'll have to nip down town to find something to finish it off. Shame. Nearly.

Really durable, size is perfect - easy to set up. Is really great for the price

Arrived well packaged with all bits intact. Took a couple of hours to put together with easy to follow instructions. Very sturdy when assembled. Not yet used it as weather not conducive!

The media could not be loaded. Avoid at all costs. The paint is not heat resistant - at first attempt to use the bbq, the paint on the front, the back and the ash tray went bubbly and started to peel off. The ash collection is very inconvenient. The ash tray is made of very thin metal and bends easily with ash flying all over the place. Am returning this bbq.

Nice bit of kit

Looks good. A great size Barbecue which I can easily recommend for a large family too. Great performance. I love that the height is adjustable for the coal tray. And the side trays which can fold down after use. Cooked my food extremely well. So happy its finally put together:)I have used it once so far but looking forward to using it alot more over the coming weeks.
