Everdure by Heston Blumenthal FUSION HBCE1B
Love the unit when it works but almost every time the element trips the power in the house and can’t get charcoal going.
Purchased just over 18months from Bunnings
I believe something at this price point should last longer than this considering it’s a known problem.
Purchased at Bunnings Warehouse for $999.
Hi was given the Evedure for a 50th birthday present, and love the look and the way it cooks. I am however disappointed with the quality . I have now used the bbq twice, first was a boned leg of lamb and second roast chicken.
The issues are similar to other peoples post, There is a black enamel insert that holds the coals, this is already showing corrosion an flaking. There is a small locating groove near the skewer handle that in design is a weak point, this has allowed the skewer rod to bend quite easily without misuse or overweighti...
I was keen to get a charcoal BBQ, the electric start and built in rotisserie, along with the small foot print, had me sold. The electric start isn’t worth the premium, yes it lights the coal in 7 mins, but you can’t start cooking anything for 30 mins so what’s the point, it’s probabl not that hard to light coal the usual way. The rotisserie has a weight limit before it struggles to turn, but the bigger issue is the flare ups, you need a drip tray which blocks direct heat onto the meat. Drip tray has to be moved when you want to add more coal, w...
Read morehich you have to do because the tray is shallow and doesn’t hold enough to cook a full roast, maybe a just a chicken. The coal tray design is a flawed design as well, there’s no air flow to fuel the fire. Cleaning is a hassle, you need to clean it after every use, coal ashes fall onto the heating element and any fat gets baked onto anything it drips on. In summary not worth the money, I can’t sell it without taking a huge loss. A true example of a brand leveraging a chefs reputation to sell a very poor product.Hi Jonathan,
Thanks for your review. The rotisserie motor is rated to a capacity of 15kg, and we have designed the HUB as the next step up from this with a rated capacity of 40kg. The other issues of...
Read more flare ups and cleaning relate to all types of charcoal BBQs, and will directly depend on the fat content of the food being cooked. If the charcoal is positioned directly underneath the meat, it will absorb any fat drippings and infuse the food with smoke, preventing any fat from baking onto the tray.This is by far the easiest to use and less messy of any charcoal bbq system ive used. Apart from the electric starter system it looks great and has an awesome rotisserie. I use my fusion bbq 1-2 times a week now mostly cooking chickens and kebabs. Once had a problem after an accident while moving house and had to get a spare part, no problems at all. infact they went out of there way to help, not used to that these days. Anyhow highly recommended to anyone who wants an easier and cleaner way of doing charcoal cooking.

The Fusion by Heston Blumenthal is an incredibly easy barbeque to use, heats up within 10 minutes and cooks the food to perfection. The impressive look and style of this barbeque makes it a real talking point with guests, we've never before had so many people interested in our previous barbeques. Definitely a 5 star purchase!

Why doesn't any of the Heston charcoal BBQs come with a top cover to keep the heat/smoke in? In my opinion, a metal cover cooks chicken better inside and out.
Hi There, the FUSION and HUB are Mediterranean, open style BBQs. We have many new and exciting products in development, please check our website for regular updates
Thanks for the answer. Any plans on a hood that could be used with the Fusion to have the smoker / oven effect? This is the only thing that's keeping me from buying a Fusion right now.

Was contacted by Alexis, service was arranged and part ordered. Turned out be a faulty element. Serviceman turned up on time and replaced under warranty.
