I've never really been into BBQing; I enjoy other people doing it, not so much myself. Moreover, while we did have a traditional charcoal BBQ, we never bothered with it unless we had guests as it was too much hassle to cook a small amount of food.Still, we missed the ability to cook food outside in the sun rather than indoors.My mate has a smaller version of this one for camping, and he swears by it. He's generally always the type to buy quality kit, so when I saw a decent deal for this one, I had to jump on it.All in all it set me back just under £400 for the BBQ and gas bottle (which was much bigger than I was expecting!).When the BBQ arrived, the number of parts along with the instructions for testing the gas bottle and whatnot was quite intimidating, but to be fair once you get started, it is pretty straightforward to put together, and certainly feels like a quality item.Once you've got it set up though, usage is a breeze. One thing I would say for people like myself who aren't familiar with gas BBQs, is that when I first fired it up, I thought it wasn't working, because I couldn't see the flames (on a bright day), but I soon realised it was certainly heating up.Such an easy thing to use; fold out the side tables, turn on the gas bottle, turn the knob to ignite and press the fire button, it usually fires up first time, and hovering over the grille will confirm it's working.Big and spacious, it's an absolute pleasure to cook on. I wouldn't ever go back to a charcoal. My food always tastes BBQ'd to me.Again, as someone unfamiliar to BBQs generally, just remember to oil the grilles unless you want your food to stick (found out the hard way!). I now pour oil on some kitchen roll and rub over the grilles while heating up.It's great being able to simply fire this up as and when you need it, so you can have a break between snacks without having to have the thing on the whole time like you would a charcoal BBQ.Very easy to clean afterwards too.Excellent bit of kit that should hopefully last years! Not cheap, but you get what you pay for.

It's a great size for a family, bigger than the 1000 series and connects to a full size canister rather than the small disposable ones.To keep it clean I just heat it on full power after I've finished cooking for about 5 minutes then use a wire brush to clean the grill plates in situ, easy.Doesn't come with a thermometer so I bought a separate one, drilled a small hole and screwed it in.It gets hot quickly and stays hot, even on the lowest setting. When cooking with the lid closed I could probably do with a cooler setting but it is what it is.Solidly built and I use it on a table. Realistically it's to big for me to take out for a BBQ at the beach and as you need a gas canister you probably wouldn't anyway.Definitely recommend.

Perfect, and it arrived a day early.

Solid barbecue performance, well built, Cooks well, food tastes good.Would be 5 stars except there is no warming rack or dual burner control so no way to have a cooler section of the bbq.

Brilliant barbecue and easy to keep clean

Very easy to assemble and reliable so far . The Last Weber lasted 12 years And started first time always.

Amazing piece of kit !!! Great tasting food

As a family we are so happy with this BBQ. We’ve really enjoyed using it. It was simply enough to build. It’s easy to use. Easy to keep clean and easy to store (if you buy the Weber cover). Zero complaints from us.
