Nice unit, tricky assembly
The photo showed a single control knob but the unit I received had two knobs with a push putton piezo ignitor in between. Assembly instructions are poor, mainly because the diagrams are very small so fitting of small parts such as brackets is by trial and error. The fitting of the tap orifice into the burner pipe was a concern as there were no details of how far the gas nozzle should project into the air bleed hole - other Masterchef BBQ models have a relevant diagram in the assembly instructions which can be downloaded from the Masterchef-bbq website. Operating instructions appear to be for a different control knob/piezo ignitor arrangement.
Once assembled the BBQ operates well and heats up quickly on for the "burn in". I have not tried cooking with it yet but the only problem I can see is that the burner will get covered with fat and several screws have to be removed to take off the burner and access the base for a deep clean. The unit looks smart and sits squarely on the plastic frame.
Finally, factor in a sizeable extra cost for a propane gas bottle and contents - approx £40 to hire a Calor Gas bottle and £20 for 3.5kg, about 7 litres, of liquid propane - so over £2.50 per litre. I use propane for house heating and it is about 40p a litre as a bulk delivery.Read full review

Master Chef 2 burner grill
Not to bad to assemble but instruction drawings should be enlarged in reference to the parts to be fitted .
A very nice bbq grill to use , easy to light , large cooking area enough for preparing food for four people plus the side shelves , nice to have the temp gauge in the lid too
Easy to clean the two grill plates and the fat cup catches all the drained fat .
A very nice light weight table top bbq grill .Read full review

Neat lightweight bbq
We have the larger version of this at home but bought he compact version for camping. Pleased with delivery times and finished product. The instructions were a nightmare but take a deep breath and some time out and it will be worth it in the end. Suggested time for construction is an hour, which if you’ve done it before,may be right, we took about three hours trying to work out the pictures provided. It is a nice neat lightweight bbq and I would recommend it but allow time to put it togetherRead full review

Value for money
Takes an hour to assemble, runs on propane or butane if you use the correct regulator, cooks well.

If you got past instructions and got it up and running, who knows
Couldn’t use because we couldn’t put together. The worst instructions ever, like a black blob on the page . It would have been sturdy I think.
