Matador Titan 900 series after 5 years – Great BBQ, only 1 or 2 negatives, the rear burner is no good and I need to replace it, it is difficult to clean the fat tray. That being said great bbq for the dollar you pay. Show details

Not fit for purpose BBQ kettle cooker – Bought this Mini Kettle cooker from Bunnings a few years ago. Works fine for cooking a few steaks, chops ...as long as you DO NOT PUT THE LID… Read more
OVER...it absolutely kills the briquettes... With the round lid which has a generous vent covering your food...the briquettes are starved of oxygen and basically go out! Ruined a lamb roast, finding after an hour's cooking time, there was no heat coming from the vent apertures... Despite drilling some extra holes...still no joy. Hopeless piece of design for a promising mini version of a Weber type kettle.

OMG. Chose the Pro over the Standard, and it is worth every cent. Henry from Victor Harbour Bunnings was awesome. He did the lot for me. Fuel,… Read more
Matador temp probes, rubs, cover, cleaning gear, smoking wood, trays and basting gear. Took his advice and cooked the most incredible spatchcock chicken I have ever consumed. Tender, so juicy, and oh the flavour. Next night pork chops and insane roast spuds and pumpkin. Kept steady temp during the whole cooking process with very little escaping smoke. The stainless racks are so easy to clean, the enameled interior just wiped clean. Lining the water pan with foil and leaving it dry, made cleaning a sinch. Am truly blown away with this extremely well made product. Beats the competition hands down. Just Brilliant.

This company should be ashamed of themselves

Probably not a great choice – We purchased this to use at a holiday home and we’re looking for something not too large and a known brand. We did a little research but couldn’t… Read more
find any of this specific model on display. That was a mistake.
Assembly was a little tedious but not too bad. The instructions were a little lacking but we got there in the end.
The design has a number of flaws.
Firstly, the cooking area is comprised of 1 hotplate (which sits in the middle) and 2 grills (sitting on each side). There are 4 largish drain holes on the grill and it is VERY easy to lose items down them while cooking. We expected that ½ the cooking surface would be a hotplate and ½ would be grill. The ⅓ hotplate is just adequate for preparing a meal for 2 people.
Secondly, the front of the BBQ is covered by a plastic sheet which seems to serve no purpose other than to advertise Matador. It prevents easy front access to the bottom shelf. I am considering removing it.
Finally, and mostly due to the aforementioned plastic sheet, to turn the gas bottle off you need to reach down and around it. Don’t try to do this immediately after cooking as you WILL burn yourself unless you are careful.

This BBQ produces inadequate heat and/or does not distribute the heat evenly to use to roast a chicken. The inbuilt thermometer struggles to get to… Read more
200c. I suspect it is inaccurate as even a very small chook takes over an hour and a half to cook (I use a bluetooth temperature probe to monitor doneness). Critically the chicken does not brown AT ALL so although it is cooked it looks really unappetising as the skin remains a pale pinky white.
