Weber

got ours on sale, works like a charm adn definitely got our money's worth. Shame it has been raining so much, but we use it to grill steaks and smoke every now and then. Meat comes out very succulent and juicy.

Like many others have mentioned my Weber q2000 frame also melted and distorted during a fat fire when cooking a roast last night. It’s such a shame… Read more

as the rest of the BBQ has given me fantastic value over the 6 years we have owned it. The cook box, lid and burners are still in fantastic condition. Without a doubt it’s the best bbq I have ever owned. I did replace the griddle once as they started to rust. The rust may have been my fault in the way I was cleaning it. It is a shame webers frames are not as sturdy as they rest of the bbq as being plastic they are a real melting point. Sadly the BBQ is not worth fixing as the plastic frame components are 220 delivered. A new Weber q 2000 starts at $529. 6 years has been a decent life I guess I acknowledge the fat fire is my responsibility but it shouldn’t melt that quick.

Never mind

I recently purchased a Weber Genesis EP-335 from the Weber Moore Park SupaCenta store and wanted to share an honest account of my experience. … Read more

Firstly, the sales service was good. When my wife and I visited on 12 November, the staff were friendly, knowledgeable, and gave us confidence in the product. The store layout is great with a wide range of BBQs well displayed, and our initial interaction left us with a really positive impression of Weber.

I was originally told the store would price match, but when I returned on 28 November with a verified 15% offer from another Weber store, I was suddenly told they only match up to 10%. This inconsistency was disappointing and felt like a step back from the professionalism shown earlier.

Then, while free delivery was offered, I was told it wouldn’t be available for more than two weeks. Needing the BBQ sooner, I had to transport it myself, including removing and reinstalling child seats and wrestling a very heavy box (60-80kg) out of the car and into my backyard.

On emptying the box I spent hours trying to locate the bolts/screws to enable assembly. Weber Customer Support were terrific and make sure that I was supported. I have to take my hat off to the Weber Customer Support function who went above and beyond.

The Weber Genesis EP-335 is not an easy BBQ to assemble, so if you don't use the Weber service to assemble it for you, be prepared to spend a significant amount of time doing it yourself.

RUST PROBLEMS – ...bought Weber Pulse 1000 4 years ago.Used it a lot and were very happy with it.We cleaned it regularly and it was always under the original Weber… Read more

cover. The electrical part was always stored inside. As we have not used it all winter,we wanted to clean it up:to our surprise and disappointment it had developped a lot of rust.It is for outdoors,is it not? We started to pull it apart,the further we got the more rust we recovered:very,very frustating... When we bought it,we asked especially,if there could be a problem with the position of our balcony,facing East and maybe some 700 km's away from the beach:'No problem' was the answer. Anyway,we are not happy at all,Weber!

inside that was an absolute fail and have gone back to my trusted Weber and the new bbq is now an expensive garden ornament what I am saying is as far as using charcoal to bbq stick with the Weber don’t listen to sales pitches like I did and got bitten

veggies.

No flare ups, great flavour and good enough app for moisturising internal temp with probes.

Used the side burner a bit, rotisserie a couple of times (dual roast for large crowd) and enjoyed the simplicity and effectiveness of this unit.

Default cover ID getting some sun damage on Velcro.

Weber brush was crap. Bought a premiala bbq brush ($39 Australian company, from Amazon) as a replacement.

alignment where joins needed to be forced. Then first use starter issues, Weber were good to post new starter unit without question possibly they knew this to be a design fault. On this subject the gas bottle sits on the axle so you can never get a proper reading of how much gas is left on the weigh scale. Weber has obviously done a lot of cost cutting as they have discontinued the grill thermometer. The most annoying thing are the wheels after moving it one metre the split pin falls of as does the plastic wheel cover, I took to it with a hammer tonight. As for heat do not cook on two burners you will have uncooked meats and uneven cooking you have to use all three burners even for small quantities. Overall this is the Jeep of BBQs you are buying a name no longer synonymous with quality. The model is built in China which might explain poor quality control.

Assembly nightmare, 5/10 for cooking – This product takes half an hour to unpack, then two hours to assemble - and I'm a qualified engineer! If you follow the logical path and read the… Read more

assembly instructions before starting, you are likely to end up with a panel left over. This is packed separately, with a loose "Addendum" which is NOT referenced in the instruction manual. It seems to be a heat shield, and important from a safety perspective, but if you miss it at Step 2, you are going to be up for some very frustrating disassembly to put this panel in place. In use, the product does not get hot enough to cook steak properly. It is also sold as a 2 burner BBQ but you cannot have two different heat zones on the cooking surface due to the weird burner configuration. As an oven it works pretty well, but comes without a temperature gauge. For your average Aussie barbie it is a dud!!

Aussie version missing crucial internal lid liner – Bought mine based on reviews of overseas model but the Aussie version comes without the aluminium lid liner. Other Weber electric BBQs have this… Read more

reflective liner inside the lid, and so do the cheaper Ninja electric BBQs.

Without the liner a lot of heat is lost through the lid, wasting electricity. Lid will also become hotter and would be more difficult to clean because there are plenty of nuts and bolts for grease to get trapped around. The smooth liner would be a lot easier to keep clean.

Very disappointing to see Weber sending an inferior version of their Lumin to Australia compared to other markets.

Photos attached of the Aussie version I bought vs the overseas model. Local Weber website misleading by not making a photo of the Lumin with an open lid prominent.

I do not recommend

ring fits - it is not a snug fit in diameter nor does it rest on the kettle well (yes, the notches are situated where the nuts are). Considering the price point and premium brand, I was expecting the fit to be much better.

5 years of WSM cooking, I can't go wrong! – With my interest in “Slow cooking”, I researched what was available and came up with the Weber SMC as the best BBQ without the work to get it done,… Read more

failsafe. Yeh, I’ve heard that before. My research kept coming back to this BBQ, so bought it, the mid sized 47cm version. Best decision I have made! This thing is amazing! Two cooking shelves, real strong smokey flavour which i like, (depending on your smokey wood preference which is adjustable), Set and forget, best Brisket ever! Simple and easy to use, utilising the same BBQ Bricketts, in the "Mignon Method, two circular rows of Bricketts and the hot chimney coals in the middle. Temperature is consistant at approx. 205-215 degrees (6-7hours), smoking with up to 4 lumps of wood (2 hours), then continue for a further 6 to 8hrs. Wow, what we have eaten out of this SMC is simply amazing! This BBQ is easy to keep clean due to its enamel coating, empty the ash and thats it! Love it’s simplicity and reliability! I use it on a regular basis, at least once per month. I have cooked all types of meats in my WSM, without a hitch. I have two other Weber Charcoal BBQ's.

Very useful little BBQ for everyday cooking – have a bigger smoker type BBQ but it is quite cumbersome to use if you just want to cook for family and quickly. the go anywhere fills this gap… Read more

perfectly and is very good quality and cooks amazingly.

to the one guy complaining about the handle screws. you need to tighten them hard. it feels like it's too tight but keep turning until the handles stop wobbling. this is designed this way and will make the handles last longer.

Webber kettle the best charcoal BBQ if them all – I bought my first Webber red KETTLE around 44 to 45 years ago from an exhibition at the Yenora woolsheds in Sydney Australia, it was one of the first… Read more

in Australia at the time in the mid 1970s. I use it often with a mixture of heat beads and charcoal, I always cook my whole leg ham on it and my Turkey every Christmas for the most perfect and juicy meat ever, and I've got 16 BBQ plus a Webber Q, and this kettle is the best by a mile. Now I'm looking at buying a new one, I don't really know why, but they seem to have a few improvements added over the years, then I will be able to cook my meat on one and my veges on the other at different temperatures. It's a win win for me. Well done Webber, keep up the great quality. Photos Christmas 2021. Brilliant.

Good but not perfect – After saving up the $2999 over 12 months I was pretty excited to receive my Weber SF EX6. I have had it for 8 weeks now and have experienced the… Read more

following; 1. It’s very easy to put together but due to its size is probably safer as a two person job. 2. Is a lot noisier than I thought it would be, due to the heavy duty fan unit used to fuel the fire with air. 3. Can reach a top temp of 315 Celsius in around 15 minutes, and 4. I was surprised at how quickly it burns through a 9kg bag of pellets. Roughly 8 hours cooking time at top temp.

The cooking results in my opinion are amazing and the smoke flavour takes most things to a next level. I have used it as low at 110 Celsius for low and slow pulled pork and as high as 315 Celsius to sear a steak.

Easy clean up with a great fat and ash tray.

I would highly recommend this BBQ to all comers and I think for the extra $500 the EX6 is worth getting over the EX4.

Harry high pants – Disappointing product, not quite tall enough to cover the entire BBQ (family Q 3200) plus wheels. Quality of the fabric seems poor, unsure how long… Read more

this will last before fading or degrading in the Aussie sun.

Only real positive is it’s easy to get on and off. Other than that, probably better off with a third party cover. I suspect I’ll be looking for another in about 12 months.

Expensive for what you get.

This product does not pass my quality checks – I brought this cart for a babyQ BBQ because as their add promotes - you can take it anywhere... pull it to the beach for example. So I thought… Read more

beauty, that's what I need! BIG MISTAKE!! Upon Pulling this cart, an adult human must be bent over at at all times by 65-80 degrees while walking to the beach. Why you ask? Because if I stand up vertically like a human would to walk normally, the degree of the cart increases causing the lid to fall open, grills to fall out and the FAT tray to go everywhere. Did an adult even do quality checks or research on this product? I see now why the videos showing this product DOES NOT show a person standing in full view, you only see the cart wheeling. Now I understand and think it is false advertising to the MAX! I do not recommend anyone to buy this product.

Failed after a few years – This thermometer (model no 6742) worked well for a few years but has now failed. New batteries don't help and when the batteries are inserted the… Read more

display comes on and stays on and there is no response when the On/off button is pressed for > 3 sec.

Now, a little later, pressing the on/off button for a few seconds starts it up but nothing shows on the display and the response is a continuous beep. Maybe the probe is faulty but there is no indication on the display. A little later the thing start up itself, gives a beep then turns off.

I see that this model is no longer available and for the price paid it should have lasted a long time. The latest model appears to be called iGrill mini at $79.95. My next purchase of something similar will be a maximum of $20.

Turned to jelly – Same issue here...I went to clean my Weber today and was unable to use as the product has thickened and is unable to spray.. Product should just longer you would think

Best thermometer i have ever brought! – Brought this as a gift for my partner and he uses it in the smoker on the bbq and on the fry pan. Brilliant device and so easy to use with the application and easy instructions.
