Very good BBQ, defo recommend
This is great value for money. 5 stars 100%
Anyway, please follow the instructions EXACTLY as they flow in the manual, because they work well if they are followed in order. Oh, and tools are supplied - 2 for the bolts, and a cross-head screwdriver.
Only just finished the build, which took 2 and a bit hours, and it is very solid and well thought out. Looking forward to getting "my chef's on" and enjoying a steak or 2 from it.
Size-wise, its a bit bigger than I thought it would be - no problem....more room for more food for more guests.
Capacity for food hasn't been tested yet, but the most charcoal you'll need is 2.5kgs per grilling session.
Damage? Unfortunately, yes there was, but only to the side shelves, which I could easily bend out by hand before installation. I am happy to say that I will be keeping it despite these small dings.
Overall, I am very pleased with my new outdoor grill and will be adding a griddle plate to it because eggs and chopped onions just won't work on the cast iron (?) grills. It is heavy, but as I'll only be moving it a short distance from the garage to the patio that isn't a problem. The bottom shelf is a great inclusion as I can store my cooking tools in a plastic box when I'm I not using it, and keep them all in one place.
Well done VonHaus......another winner.
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 clean
Very happy. This is a well priced solid bbq that should stand the test of time
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.
Lovely barbecue and cooks well!!
We are very happy with the purchase!!
Cover is not very strong and has ripped in the wind.
I have used it once so far but looking forward to using it alot more over the coming weeks.
For all braai masters, this is the one
Thr customer service is very good too as some parts arrived damaged and they sent replacements quickly.
Highly recommend
Well all is very true a good sturdy bit of kit well documented instructions with all parts numbered , i seldom do reviews but this one was well worthy and you will not find a better product for the price, also great customer service to add to this.
Cooking best one I have ever had
Regards

I'd be testing it soon to determine it's usability
Good piece of kit at a reasonable price.
I love the cast Iron Grill Much easier to clean than the normal ones.
We have already used it about 5 times since we got it, and so far I am really pleased as is OH!!
Did one BBq so far no issues with paint or anything like that. The only complaint I have so far is that even with the ash tray under there isn’t a clear easy way to clean any bigger unburned chunks of coal without taking out the tray that holds the coal/wood.
Otherwise as per title I really think it’s good value for money for the size of it and iron cast. Could not find any like this under 200+ pounds in any of major shops locally.
If I had to nit pick a handle to wheel it about would help
The bbq feels fairly good quality with a logical albeit complex installation guide. It went up with no problem though and once built feels quality. I do hope it lasts as long as my last one!
Overall good build quality with enamel coated fixings and full of features, i would recommend and as long as protected over winter should last some time
Even my wife is impressed, hope it cooks as well as it looks.
We have had a few BBQs this summer and it worked a treat. The grill bit being cast iron (I think) is great quality and easy to clean.
Great item.
BUT!……Best to have a tool kit, some relaxing background music 🎶 and plenty of patience.
It took 3-3.5 hours of albeit very slow and deliberate assembly….
BUT……Sooooo worth it. This is a sturdy, attractive addition to any garden, and cooks ferociously well.
Throughly and heartily recommended. We LOVE ❤️ IT!!
I was worried about the self- assembly, but the step by step description was very good and detailed, the matching tool was included
Luckily, I am not one of the unlucky people here who received a broken bbq. They should be given a free replacement or total refund.
I've used many gas and charcoal bbq's over the years and in its price range it doesent get any better than the charcoal Vonhaus so would highly recommend.
Even the screws and bolts came in a professional package.
Heavy and very sturdy BBQ.
I am yet to use it due to the weather, however currently very happy.
A couple of hours and I was done.
quite a sturdy bit of kit. None of your own tools required comes complete with own screw driver etc.
Looking forward to burning some descent food on it!
Hubby very happy, I am looking forward for more yummy food!
