Just got one but it doesn't sit entirely flat. Both sides slightly lean in to the middle, this normal???

And do you rate it uplink?? Oh and why does it lean in? Looks like a design fault IMO but I'm no bar b expert!!

Dunno why it leans in (on mine it is very very slight), but it's a great BBQ. Makes life so easy.

TBH - for the money, I'm not impressed

It's quite rusty now, one of the cast plates has cracked & the handle thingy is very warped

only just over a year old too

We use ours loads. Uplink...tried washing it? 😉 😀

I know it's a bit pricier than other barbies, but it lights perfectly every time. And I know less about lighting fires than King Louie. 1 side veggie, 1 side meat. Perfect.

I'll give it a go see if that stops it warping

No rust at all on ours but I guess that is because it tends to go into the "snuff pouch" still hot so it is dry and in the bag, in the campervan. I really like ours, not as good as a proper big barbie but I couldn't get one of them in the camper. If you got one for the garden I think you missed the point and should have got a cheaper more suitable one.

Oh, and as to the slight lean to the middle, the first time fat dripped into the middle and I realised it was going away from the cooler end and where the handle goes I though "oh, thats clever". Might just be a coincidence rather than design but still helpful.

Bought ours for camping and holidays! It's most certainly going onto the beach in scotchland on our hols in just over a week!! Happy days.

I think they're worth the money if comparing to decent brands like webber, I have used mine now forcaroynd a year with no rusting or warping, but one if the iron grills did crack but doesn't bother me as long as it doesn't break off
