Thank you so much, would be great if you had a guide for how to use as well.

I bought this about 3 months ago from ManoMano. Like many I was impressed with the amount of BBQ for the money. Or what seemed that way.

The BBQ is made of cheap, Chinese steel. The paint easily chips when building. But I decided to proceed.

3 months of use later (About 8 BBQ’s due to a British Weather) it’s warped completely. The frame is twisted, the legs are bent and the lid doesn’t close properly, requiring constant adjustment. The internal coal rack is completely warped as it’s not really heat resistant.

I politely asked for a refund & so far have found it very difficult for Cosmo to accept that this just isn’t really built well.

If the metal was just a couple of mm thicker there wouldn’t be so much of an issue. But even smoking is completely impossible as the steel is so thin it doesn’t retain any heat.

Don’t waste your money.

Hi. Thanks for checking in. The BBQ lid has a dent in it and so does the front of the frame. The gas bars dont all light using the ignition. The main bar only ignites the right bar and not the left. Because the gas nossles do not line up with the bars the bars have caused the dials to bend out from the BBQ instead of sitting flush. Hopefully you can help me with these issues. Thanks.

I first bought a Weber BBQ, which lasted a reasonable amount of time before rusting and looking tatty. Since that purchase the price for the same BBQ had gone up an awful lot, so I decided to purchase a replacement from Argos. This was a 6 burner, up from 4, so was pretty decent on paper. In fact, it performed pretty well cooking-wise. What let it down, however, was the fact that only the lid and base / frame was stainless steel. The fire box was, in fact, steel. Guess what? It rusted. While it had rusted all over the fire box, the main issue was that it had rusted badly at the back, specifically on the tiny brackets where the burner covers sat. This meant that one of the burner covers had dropped on to the burner below, making a section of the BBQ unusable.

So, off I went browsing Amazon to find a suitable replacement. I saw the Cosmo Grill BBQs, so had a look on their website, directly. At the time I decided was going to go for the Platinum 4+2, but then egged myself on to get the Platinum 6+2 BBQ. I had to double check about spare parts, though, after being stung with two BBQs where one had outrageously priced parts and the other were simply not available. Sarah at Cosmo Grill was very helpful and responded very quickly, even with it being the weekend, too. She made me feel more comfortable in the product by saying it was all made from stainless steel - I knew it said it on the website, but wasn't sure whether that was just a bit of marketing.

I made a bit of a mess up ordering, as I didn't realise there was a combo offer of the BBQ and cover. Shivani at Cosmo Grill helped sort the order out and was very helpful. I also ordered the rotisserie attachment, too (why not!?).

The delivery was quick and came in no less than 5 packages, with two of them being huge boxes! I thought that either the BBQ was massive, or the packaging was over the top (spoiler, it was both!). Opening up the packaging I tracked down the instructions and went to work. There was relatively little polystyrene packaging, with cardboard being used instead - which I thought was a nice touch. I can't remember where I read it now, but I'm sure I read that it should take 1hr with two people. I was on my own, took it slowly, and it took me 1hr 20mins to build. I would say that the only sketchy bit was putting the firebox on to the stand, as I couldn’t see what I was doing due to the sheer size of it. Speaking of which; it's massive (in a good way). I remember when I finished putting it together, thinking how much it resembled the US-branded BBQs for £2k. I would say that the only real irritation for me when putting it together was that some of the images in the instructions were unclear - like the position of the battery holder for the igniter. When I installed it, roughly in line with the images, the bottom of the fire box (essentially a shelf) wouldn't slide in as the igniter was in the way.

Sarah was absolutely right, though, the BBQ is all stainless steel, with only the obvious components (controls, battery enclosure for LEDs and igniter unit, etc.) being made of plastic. I can't impress upon you how important to me a stainless steel BBQ is. As long as it's looked after well, it will last for a good number of years. I treat the outside with a very light coating of baby oil, which removes any fingerprints and marks. The inside gets a good cleaning with a brush (plastic, not metal, in my case) and a small amount of soap and water (which I wipe dry after it's cleaned).

I've had a dry run with the rotisserie - i.e. I've set it up and switched it on, that's it :). It worked fine, and I suspect whatever cook with it will be great. I've cooked with the BBQ twice, and it's got oodles of power. Heat is retained very well with the lid down. I love the dedicated back burner for the rotisserie and the side burner for pans, etc. I know it's sad, but I like the LED controls, plus the rain cover - I've bought a few from Amazon that while being cheap still offer a life-time guarantee. the problem I found with them is that you just don't want to get them replaced with yet another that will end up going grey and having holes appear. The Cosmo Grill very has a high GSM (by my reckoning when holding both old and this) and so I'm hoping will last a lot longer. It certainly makes water bead up when raining, rather than absorb like others have. I also like the fact that my gas canister fits inside! I'm assuming it's a 15KG canister as it weighs a fair bit and there still is 5cm or so above the top. This means I can leave it inside the BBQ, and not at the side, like all my previous BBQs - a nice touch.

You'll notice I've waffled a bit here, but I felt it was important to give more of a review than the other reviewers, as it might help others with their purchase decision - I thought there wasn't enough information from the reviewers, and so it was more me taking a punt with the purchase than getting s...

Good BBQ, listing was misleading with a photo of the BBQ cover in the pictures. Assumed this was included with the BBQ since it isnin the picture!. Arrived without a cover and when I queries this I was told it wasn't included and customer services refused to sell one at the 'add-on' rate. Had to purchase the cover at full price separately.

Assembly was really straightforward every different part was well organised and once assembled the BBQ is incredibly sturdy

Like you are probably doing right now- I searched through all the reviews to see if this was worth the purchase. It is. I have bought more expensive bbqs that were flimsy and didn't last long. This is £100 less and perfect for all bbqs, smoking and cooking indirectly. It has easy access to top charcoals up, and a nice winding lever to change the proximity if the coals to the food. I love it. It's neat, compact, the cover fits well. You can add a couple of bugers for a 2 person meal or smoke a big brisket and cater for 8. It's a worthwhile purchase. If I had any criticisms, it would be that the instructions could be improved. (It seems that they've upgraded a few bits, but not adjusted the instructions, so I spent a while looking for a piece that has actually been welded on to improve stability. Construction takes quite some time (anyone saying 40 mins is a genius or a liar). Allow some time and space to assemble, but bear in mind, the reason you a getting a superior quality bbq, for such a good price is that you have to do some of the work to put it together. In short, forget the one and two star reviews. It's amazing.

It's a excellent dual fuel bbq, with the addition of a smoker box. I've had time to cook various things on it now, and I have to say that both the bbq and the smoker perform exceptionally well - in fact it's pretty much faultless. The gas part of the bbq works as it should, except I would suggest the addition of a piezzo lighter for all 3 burners, not just the central one. The charcoal section has the great feature of a charcoal tray, and you can adjust the position of the charcoal relative to the food. The smoker can be used in conjunction with the charcoal bbq to hot smoke, fish, chicken, etc, and it does the job very well, with plenty of control over the airflow. Very well thought out.
The only reason this has 4 and not 5 stars is the truly awful assembly instructions, especially the assembly of the mechanism that moves the charcoal tray up and down. There is literally not even a hint as to how it works, and although the test of the build was simple enough to follow, this last part of the instructions needs sorting out. I would suggest that someone makes a youtube video showing the main features of the build.
I would recommend this bbq 100%. Just be prepared for a bit of headscratching towards the end of the build!

The barbeque arrived with a piece not welded on. Numerous parts were bent. The lid is not aligned properly. I'm stuck with it, and Cosmo refused to send replacement parts because I dared to use it over the weekend..I'd bought it especially because we had guests coming.

Really large and sturdy. Perfect for large family BBQs.

I was disappointed to find that after a single us the bbq black paint finish had come off a lot of the edges. This should not be happening after just one use.

The barbeque came with marks on many peices and damage on some. It was built as per the instructions and does not close properly and the grill falls into the charcoal. Really disappointed.

Ordered the BBQ for next day delivery. Within an hour had a call from them and an email apologising as my delivery wouldn't be with me the next day. I wasn't bothered as I did order it at 18.30 the day before. Was promised delivery the following day. All arrived well packaged and instructions were easy to follow assembly took me 1hr 30mins. The product is well thought out and solid and just looks impressive. Very impressed with the companies customer service and product quality.

Needed 2 people to assemble, but quite straightforward. Parts could have been titled. Smoker handle holes out of alignment. Smoker lid misaligned catching against leg when closing.

The professionalism of Cosmogrill is beyond this world. The website was quick and easy to use with testimonials from previous buyers was definitely the icing on the cake for me. I am very happy with the product

The BBQ arrived the next day flat packed. It took two of us 3 hours to put together as the instruction manual is not very clear. The least clear instruction is what you have to do with the gas connection. It has a solid black tube attached to a not so flexible hose. This has to be attached to the back of the control knob of the sdie burner. for the price I think that a hose and regulator should be enclosed.

I bought the BBQ as I was hosting a party for about 50 people. This things a bit of a whopper! I ordered it on a Friday afternoon and it arrived on Saturday. It took a little while to put together, but was quite straight forward. In terms of performance, it looked great and worked well! I had also forgotten to select the free cover when I ordered, but Cosmo were very helpful and sent me one. Very pleased with my purchase! Didn’t come with a regulator but that wasn’t too hard to get.

Very quick and easy service. Products arrived the next day. Easy set up, although some items were not numbered up but assembly was simple enough with the instructions. Good packaging although a fair bit of plastics that could likely be reduced or replaced with paper for easy of recycling. Great size, easy to use and pleased with our purchase.

After a long time of searching online for which BBQ is the best for what we want out of it, we managed to find this one. The assembly was longer than other BBQs however don’t be discouraged by this the instructions are very clear. Once we got it up and running it was amazing to see it in action. Would definitely recommend it to anyone unsure.

Takes a while to heat up, however take out of the box connect the gas fire up the burners and away you go, none of this 10 hours malarky putting bbq's together only to find there’s bits missing, 10/10

Good bbq
The tray under the bbq doesn’t fit tightly
Also no UK gas cylinder will sit in the hole made for the gas cylinder

I followed the “build” instructions to the letter and found the assembly of all the parts quite straight forward. The need for only one tool, a cross head screwdriver , is really helpful. I completed the assembly in about three and a half hours. The BBQ has been tested. It is easy to operate, and a variety of meats were cooked to our complete satisfaction. Being able to adjust the height of the heat tray is a first for me and is very useful. Cleaning is easy. I would like to add that the delivery driver, noting that I am over 80 years old, delivered the heavy package to the garage where I intended to assemble the BBQ.

Ordered, arrived two days later, some minor problems. Customer services addressed the issues and were dealt with rapidly. Fantastic service by this company with a very good product.

Received This quickly, but had some damage, (Cosmogrill blamed DPD) but this is clearly a quality control/ packaging issue as seems to be the same parts damaged as most people report in the reviews.
Smoker box damaged, charcoal tray for smoker box, trivet for the side burner and later discovered the grills for the smoker box. Contacted customer services and parts were sent, all ok.
One lid slightly out of shape, on assembly the paint on the inside of the smoker came off! Quality is not great, welds leave a lot to be desired.
Gas side of BBQ is not that hot with the lids open but cooks fine as an oven with the lid shut, some lighting issues as difficult to light left burner but centre and right light ok. charcoal side brilliant and yet to use smoker box, not sure how well it will work due to the gap under the charcoal lid. We will see.
On conclusion, overall not without issues but is clearly a cheap Chinese product could be made better with a better grade of steel and better quality control. But for the price it is functional.

Had to replace old tray because of corrosion, after 1st time use with replacement there are signs the coating has disappeared in places. Also the 'cam' part on the brackets has been welded at the wrong angle so when the crank handle is fully wound in the tray only lifts about half way now. So overall a bit disappointing. Matt.
