Fire Mountain Everest Pro 5 Burner Premium Gas BBQ, Outdoor Barbecue Grill, 4 Main + 1 Side Burner, Lid with Glass Window and Built-in Thermometer, Family Sized Cooking Area for Large BBQ

**** Update September 2022 **** 7 years after purchase and its still going strong! We've used the BBQ a lot over the years and it still looks great. We've looked after it and its sat under a BBQ cover in spring and summer when not in use and goes back into the shed between September and March. If I'm picky theres a little bit of rust around the weld joints but only its minor and you have to really look for it. The side trays have wooden black inserts and the sun has faded the wood slightly and the transfers indicating the burner heat settings has faded. Other than these minor things, its as good as it was 7 years ago! I was a little dubious about the enamel coated grill plates but careful care cleaning after use has meant they're as good as they were when I bought it. Im absolutely delighted with the BBQ. **** Original review *** I was a bit dubious about buying a BBQ from the internet, especially when there are a lot of negative reviews about other makes on Amazon. The reviews on here settled my mind so I bought the 4 burner model. Delivery was quicker than I expected arriving 2 days after the order placement. It came as one big box weighing 40kgs so make sure you ask the delivery men to put it somewhere out of the way. Assembly is relatively simple, taking under an hour with clear instructions. You will need a 10mm spanner and a cross head screwdriver to assemble and a bit of floor space. The free gas regulator was a bonus, however attaching the gas pipe to the BBQ require a bit of strength and elbow grease. This will be the same for any BBQ you buy but keep in mind that it will take 15mins to get on. Build Quality is pretty good. The lid is a little flimsy when opening but this is absolutely fine and I wouldn't expect anything different on a BBQ in this price range. The grills are enamel coated and can't comment about its durability yet but expect this to wear over time. These can easily and cheaply be replaced with cast iron when the time comes. The burners light first time with the ignition system so no need for matches and the knobs are nice and big. Operating the BBQ is a dream and the heat can controlled easily creating hot ends on the grill. The warming tray is a nice bonus to store cooked burgers and sausages whilst others cook. I cooked for 12 adults with any problems on the BBQ. Storage - the shelves don't fold down easily without taking bolts out so if you're short of space then take this into consideration.

I am really pleased with this Barbecue. Some context, this is the first time i have ventured into the world of Gas Barbecues and i looked at everything from really expensive to cheap as chips. I had settled on the size i wanted, 4 burner, and was going to by one that was double this price. However when i found this one, the specs looked identical so i took the chance. If i had one gripe it would be that it was a little fiddly to put together, but it took me no more than an hour to do it. On first use two things were obvious, having half the cooking surface as enamelled griddle plate is a massive bonus and allows you to easily cook things that have a tendency to fall apart on grill bars, and the burners are very effective, meaning the whole lot heats up really quickly. Whilst this is not as sturdy as a Weber, for example, it is a lot lighter, and this did make it easy to manoeuvre to its working position. All in after several uses I have no complaints, the enamel on the grill and griddle plate make this easy to clean, the drip tray under the cooking areas does catch everything, and little things like covers for the burners under the grill are nice touches that make keeping it clean relatively easy. I would definitely recommend this Barbecue, especially if you want a larger Barbecue at a very good price. As other reviewers have said get a cover with it.

Fairly challenging assembly, allow a full afternoon. Suggest a socket wrench alternative to the little spanner supplied. You need plenty of space to check the package contents and to construct. Most of the construction diagrams are ok but some elements are very difficult to interpret, especially the gas connection to the hob. That diagram is inadequate. Finished article looks good although not tried yet.

Sturdy BBQ instructions easy to follow took just over 2 hours to assemble. looking forward to using it for the first time this weekend.
