Had my fornetto over 3 years. It is such a brilliant smoker so easy to use and setup. Works exceptionally well when smoking poultry (Love smoked Turkey wings),Bacon and fish. Smoked eggs also come out a treat. Show details

Fuel machine – I was a noob smoker 4 years ago. I got the 22inch for the price of the 18 on a cockup from bunnings cashier. So I thought I was winning. After 4 years of using this, I wish I had of just bought a weber. Its a fuel machine, on a webber I use 13 pillows and snake method to keep consistent 125c temp. The grill on the wabber is much much larger, try… Read more

putting a full brisket on the fornetto and its pushing into the walls.

The fornetto is not air tight, loses too much heat through poor design and cheap machining.

I had no idea at the time I begun my smoking journey, but if I can encourage people to just go for a weber kettle instead of this, you won’t be disappointed.

Great for smoking but can I roast? – Smoked some ribs in our new FORNETTO Razzo and they were fab. It’s very sturdy and so versatile with all the different sections. A question about getting a hot fire to roast a pork shoulder. I can’t seem to get it quite got enough like my old Weber did to start my pork off? Show details

Great BBQ, massive step up from my last one – This is a great BBQ, I got one on the recommendation of a friend of mine who goes in BBQ competitions and the Razzo is one of the BBQ’s he uses. I used to have a cheap offset that was garbage. This is a big step up, I can set it up with the right amount of charcoal/wood and leave it for hours and it will hold a good steady temp. It’s a quality… Read more

build and has held up really well so far after a year of use nearly every weekend.

Don’t confuse the Fornetto Razzo with the Fornetto Basso. The Razzo is the one you want, Basso looks cheap and flimsy.

I have done briskets, pork butts, beef short ribs, USA pork ribs, lamb shoulders, wings, sausages, fish in the smoker. You can also take the two centre pieces out and just use the bottom and top as a very mobile BBQ. Take it to a picnic in the park, take it to a mates place, take it on your boat. If you’re looking for a high quality smoker that’s super versatile and doesn’t break the bank, get the Razzo.

It’s a big step up on anything I have used for charcoal cooking – I’ve had my Razzo for over a year now and lots of use with a variety of meats and vegetables. It’s a quality product and well built unit, having excellent heat control which is easy to manage regardless if I’m using heatbeads or charcoal. The inspection doors and temperature probe holes make for a really convenient way to keep the heat in… Read more

whilst checking on the food or topping up the fire. All in all its a big leap forward from my Webber and still looks as good as the day i bought it - in saying that - buy the cover for it and if your budget stretches - get the 22 inch model - it is worth the extra dollars and has tons of room to cook a lot of food or just as easily will manage a single piece of meat

Great bit of gear – This was an upgrade from an old Webber when we were still new to the BBQing world. Versatile bbq thats perfect for low n slow, hot n fast, smoking, grilling etc The build quality is decent, although the seals could he better and the paint surrounding the thermometer has flaked away. We have owned one for 6 months and it still gets used… Read more

almost every weekend. Great option if you dont want to invest in something more serious like an offset or kamado etc

Excellent Unit – The larger 22-inch Razzo is the way to go. If you've never used a smoker (which I hadn't) it takes a while to get the hang of the heat and how to control it (a few cooks) but after that, you can't go wrong. Start with a pork shoulder or butt, it's very forgiving and rewarding. Easy to assemble, good quality bit of gear. The more you use it the… Read more

more you realise how versatile it is - it's not just a smoker. The unit is built in sections which are removable. You want to do a super high heat sear (say on steaks)? You can. Use it like a Weber kettle. Anything you want. Holds heat very well. The Razzo comes with stainless steel grills, cool touch vent handles. I've had it for 12 months and it's never skipped a beat.

Not good at all – Literally took an hr to assemble, even the doors need to be assembled. Far too long for this style of smoker. First cook- the vent tabs melted. Chewed through Charcoal, clearly very expensive to run Leaks everywhere Absolute rubbish - there's better on the market, I took mine back for a refund and purchased a different brand  Show details

Excellent bullet smoker for the price! – The Razzo is built out of solid enamelled steel and will suit a novice as well as experienced smoker! Temperature is easy to keep steady just make sure on a long slow cook you check the water bowl! The instructions for assembly are easy to understand and there is only the legs, tray clips and bottom vents to put together. My first cook was slow cooked baby back pork ribs using the three, two, one method with excellent results.  Show details

Excellent – What a wonderful machine, assembly and intial operation a breeze. Results are out of this world, the quality of the Razzo is better than i could have got by paying twice as much for a brand that wont even supply stainless steel grill grates with their products. The Fornetto grill grates and baskets are stainless steel and very solid, no more… Read more

rusted grills.

The finish is excellent, a well constructed bullet smoker that holds heat very well, not a light weight at all, i want another.

Versatile combination barbeque and smoker – Wow - wish I had bought this a long time ago! I spent about 3 months looking at bullet and other smokers before deciding to buy the Razzo. What impressed me are the quality of the steel used in manufacture, the large handles for opening/closing air vents and stacking/ removing the cooking chambers, and the overall fit and finish. The clever… Read more

design means you can smoke, basket cook, roast and grill. Comes with a comprehensive and informative User Manual. I bought my Razzo only 2 months ago and use 2 or 3 times every week. A wonderful alternative to a gas bbq and competitively priced.

Worth Every cent – I purchased the Razzo in red from Bunnings. I originally went in to purchase the Basso (entry level model) but decided the extra $100 for the Razzo was definitely worth it. Fantastic quality, easy to build and use. A great smoker that is extremely close to being a set & forget cook, I’ve had delicious cooks every time with minimal effort. The… Read more

bullet smoker produces a great bark on my ribs (7hr cooks) & briskets (12hr cooks). I can’t fault it, it’s as good as the Webber Smokey Mountain I’ve cooked with before. Great product, Fornetto, even the most experienced Grill Master will love this one.

Great all round smoker/bbq – Bought from bunnings in Oct 2017. The razzo is a level up on the entry smoker, mainly due to the enameled steel. The 18" basket can hold several items at once. Very solid in construction, interchangeable chambers means it can be turned into a BBQ very quickly and easily. Great product and good value for money.  Show details
