Uneven heat distribution. Main problem is that the burners disintegrate after only one summer, and it's impossible to find replacements. Bought from Bunnings but they dont have replacement burners. Wont buy another jumbuck.

Very happy with the BBQ.
HOWEVER the front of the unit gets hot enough to cook on. Very dangerous design flaw as young ones could be seriuosly burnt if touching this area.

Panels were damaged out of the box.

Two burners won’t stay lit and have yellow unstable flames . Side burner igniter does light burner.

How do these burners get AGA approval

Haven’t cooked anything on it yet

Good bbq for the money but after 8 months with it under a patio roof it is already showing many rust spots.
If you are okay with a cooker for a couple.of years at a cheap price, then this is the unit to buy.
If you do not have a.practical bent then assembly could be a challenge

This BBQ is great. Gets super hot. Has all the functions you need. Easy enough to assemble. Nice size, not too big and bulky. Great price for what it is.

It seems clear that the earlier versions of this bbq had issues? I bought mine a couple of months ago (December 2019). All bolts were there, assembly was quite easy. Piezo ignition works well, and both the open flame section as well as the hot plate cook well. I always use the heatproof black plastic underlay on the hot plate. Brilliant. (Get them separately). Absolutely great for the price - beats paying $1000 or more for the glorified church altar versions that seem to be the current fashion!

This Barby is easy to light and has a thermometer so you don't overheat things, but it is pretty hot and takes a while to work out how to moderate the heat by turning 1 or 2 jets off.

I was happy only for the first 12 months. Flame tames went first - rusted and disintegrated. No parts were available to replace. I had to purchase a different brand of parts and used an angle grinder to cut to size. The burners disintegrated next, they lasted 3.5 years. I tried to find parts without success. Standard burners are 400-410mm, these Jumback ones are 370mm. Unable to use anything else due to this size difference. So after 4 years I have a perfect looking BBQ, which is a throwaway because it is impossible to get replacement parts for Jumback BBQs.

I read these reviews before buying this BBQ. I was worried about the low heat issues some experienced but after two nights of cooking on it I couldn't be happier! It gets plenty hot I can turn the dials down a bit and still sear steaks. Side plate is great only mine is on a lvl 4 balcony and sometimes wind can blow it out when on a low setting.

I nearly spent $600 on a Webber but decided to go with this and glad I did!

I’ve used it to cook all kinds of meat, fish and veggies with great results every time. All of the bits are easy to remove and clean and the protective cover keeps it looking like new on the outside. I’ve used it on a few wet and windy days and it hasn’t caused an issue. The numerous burners and having a griddle plate as well as the grill gives you lots of flexibility and it’s easy to create a hot area and a cooler area if you need to rotate and keeps things warm. Highly recommend!

Nice BBQ at a good price, was easy to put together and cooks good. Be sure to read the instructions about first use, as there is a protective coating on the plates for transport and you need to burn this off. First few uses everything stuck but now works great! The only negative is that even on the lowest setting food still burns, so I have to turn it past hot and turn knobs close to off position to get the burners down really low for slow burn-free cooking.

This is a replacement for a much loved bar b q that I had for over 20 years
Much more up to date and easier to cook on, I have bar-b-q;d steaks, snags, fish and other seafoof, roasted pork and lamb and used the side burners for keeping vegies and tomatoes warm and ready for the plate
Easy to clean, just wipe down and give a gentle scrub with a bar b q brush a nice cover keeps it free of dust and the cover over the grill lets me cook in both wind and rain

Awesome product.
I bought this four burner BBQ two month before. I am pretty happy with this.
It cooks very fast and light weight i can carry anyone in my backyard.
Burner quality is also very good.
I recommend to all of my friends to buy this items without any doubt.

I was more excited than makes sense getting this - not sure why - anyway its years later and its put in many years of soldi service. I just cleaned the garage out and pulled it out to clean down for the new season. It still works beautifully although a little battle worn. It just cooks the most delicious steaks. The temperature it achieve is perfect

This BBQ is excellent, my hubby wants to cook more often, only issue i have with this BBQ is that it is starting to rust in different points. Thats why i gave it 4 stars. Other than that. Excellent food comes from it. We even use it as an oven do do our roasts. No complaints. Food comes out scrumptuos. Still a bit of a bugger to clean, ( like most BBQs haha ) No complaints otherwise.

Side burner is great. Was cheap and was fairly easy to assemble and use. Loved the price and it’s relativey compact size. It wasn’t a huge amount of cooking space when you have more than say 6-8 people but it’s a small bbq! I’m not looking forward to moving house with this thing. Don’t know if it will survive the move.

Yes it doesn't go as well as the big expensive bbqs. But for the price it does a good job. It cooks well for the two of us. Its side burner 8s quite capable. I find if you cook with the hood down it certainly does what you need. Don't expect it to do the same as the big boys.
