Very Happy.
Bought the larger 3 burner in January after contemplating it for several months and very happy with it, should have bought it sooner. Looks great on the patio (orange lid). Was easy enough to put together and I am not very good at assembly. Lights easy and heats quickly with lid down. It can be a little cooler on the outside edges of the plates but no big deal. Really like the cover for the gas bottle that came with it also. A little expensive but different to all other bbqs so was worth that bit extra.. And because it looks great makes me want to keep it clean. Love it .
Purchased in January 2021.

Great choice
Was looking for a long time. Some of the reports had me a bit unsure. When we looked at the best this was always up there.there . finally made the move.
Used this over 20 times now. Just love it.
Really good heat control. (Not sure what the poor heat reports were about) this thing can really burn.
Can cook on both surfaces at different temperatures. Lid cooking is just as good.
Clean up . is a breeze and the plates season well.
Build quality is well above average. This is a bit of top kit.

Service excellent
We have only just received our new BBQ and haven' t used it yet but I am sure the BBQ will be fantastic and if we did have a issue I feel sure Everdue would respond professionally.. My main point of writing this review is to say to this point at least the service we have received from Everdue has been exceptional. Fiona (Sales Marketing Assistant) is a real asset to the company.

Great but underpowered bbq
I have read reviews of this stylish barbecue but have found despite preheating and being directed away from breeze that the plate would just not stay hot enough to crisp up potatoes or sear a steak adequately. The grill works well but this bbq does seem underpowered and I am anxious about its performance under load eg cooking for my family. Is there any way to beef up the burner power under the plate? Seems a shame. I have just bought a Furnace but am now feeling disappointed.

Love this BBQ
Have really benefited from the excellent convection cooking this oven offers. I use it everyday - it has totally replaced my oven and my cooktop. It also looks very stylish on my back deck and is commented on by all visitors.
I am very pleased with my purchase and highly recommend this BBQ to anyone.

Disappointed - Doesn't heat like a BBQ should.
Very disappointed - I purchased the Furnace 3 burner after much research. The unit does not get hot enough for BBQ cooking. It feels like the gas outlets are not powerful enough, which defeats the purpose of cooking outside. I have tried preheating the unit as suggested with little success. We love cooking and eating outside, but the Furnace had failed to deliver what we purchased it for.
In addition, the safety writing has smeared off, not through cleaning chemicals, but grease from cooking.

with the safety writing. To retain the heat throughout your cook, we also recommend closing the hood periodically to get the temperature back up, particularly in variable conditions. Should you wish to use the FURNACE primarily for searing for longer periods of time, we also recommend a configuration of 3 x open grill plates, which we will also private message you about.Similar opinion?

Happy with purchase
We have recently bought the Furnace model and are really happy so far. Steaks, chops and weekend breakfasts have all turned out well. We are attempting a roast lamb currently but having some issues regulating the temp. Following instructions we have got the outer burners on low and the hood down but we can't get the temperature down below 200 Celsius. Any ideas? Switching to one burner will result in uneven cooking I would think.

Bad performance for open hood cooking
I purchased the dark grey hooded model of this 3 burner BBQ. Building it was pretty straight forward and easy enough to follow the instructions. The build quality is very good and the BBQ on the stand is quite sturdy. I have it connected to LPG.
I put it to use on the first night and cooked up some snags and steaks with hood down. I followed all instructions and let the BBQ preheat on high and the built in thermometer went off the scale because it got so hot under the hood. I placed the snags on the grills and closed the hood to cook (I cook ...Read more

Hi David,
Thanks for your review - for open hood cooking we recommend the below:... Read more
Using a cotton cloth, oil the cleaned plates and then pre-heat with hood down for at least 8 minutes. A light smoking of the oil should be visible. Ensure that the bbq is side-on to the breeze/wind. Any breeze hitting the rear intake/vent will push the heat out of the bbq. Remove chilled foods from the refrigerator at least 45 minutes before grilling. Lightly oil again prior to grilling. If you continue to have any issues, please send us a private message and we can arrange for a service technician to inspect the unit. Kind Regards, The Everdure by Heston Blumenthal TeamFor the past few weeks I have tried your methods and everything else that I can think of but still find this BBQ performing well below what I was hoping for.

Good but needs improvement
Great looking, heats quickly, over all good product. One safety concern that needs attention. Handle becomes loose as top heats up. Screws loosen no matter how tight they are screwed in. It is a concern that needs to be checked out. The cooking grates are heavy and get very hot. Food cooks very quickly.

Love the colour and the cook.
We have used this BBQ for lots of parties we've had of over 20-50 people and it has really come up trumps! It is large and evenly cooks. It is great when cooking for just a small family too as you can choose which burners to use. The gas bottle cover is a great idea and the different colours are very stylish!
The setting up instruction had us a bit confused as to what to unscrew, but we got there in the end. Make sure you look for the arrows!
We have bought a natural conversion kit which we are yet to install.

Beautiful Design - Lots of space to cook fantastic food.
Great flexibility in the 3 burner layout for direct and indirect grilling. Heats very quickly, easy to regulate different sections. The Furnace delivers great results for steaks, fish, large joints. The optional teppanyaki plate is fantastic as well. Looks great on the terrace, is a real talking point and used more and more often as it is so easy & the results are fantastic.

Love it.
Love the BBQ, find it easy to use and clean. Only concern I have is the warning instructions & gas control instructions printed on the actual BBQ has wiped off.
I just find this a bit of a problem if some who is not familiar with the BBQ tries to use it, could leave the gas on. Otherwise I love it.

installation problem
I live in nz and just bought one this morning. I come from China and I‘m very weak at assembling things. There is a problem during the installation. The hose has no distance from the stand top.While install the legs and the plastic bottom shelf,the holes of screws are not accurate,especially for the shelf. So the shape of stand top might be changed a little. I tried 20 minutes to put the hood and bbq chassis back,and the gas hose just stuck inside the stand top. I dont know if it has been scratched,it can cause serious safety problem. You should leave enough space for the hose, and make it more accurately.

Great bbq, love it!
Thought id go something different instead of a webber. This is my first hooded bbq so it took quite a while to get used to cooking with it. After 6 months use I love it! Cooks evenly and can reach very hot temperatures. Also being near the beach, there is no signs of rust at all. Only problem is that the safety and knob writing comes off very easily even when just using Ajax spray and wipe.

I bought this bbq for my holiday house. Everyone that uses it just loves it. I wanted an aluminium bbq that wouldn’t rust and big enough to roast stuff if necessary. Very impressed. Cooks evenly. Easy to clean. Highly recommended. I wish I bought the bigger one...Australian made. Highly recommended

After some mucking around...
Purchased a few months ago with optional natural gas conversion kit - which didn't fit. Had plumber around to do the conversion and connect to an outside gas line. He did the necessary work under the hood to ready the Furnace for connection - and also hooked up the bits and pieces on the gas line out of the house. Then when he went to screw the hose from the wall to the BBQ itself - it would not fit. We rang Shriro who told us they were aware of the problem and had made sellers aware of the problem - and to stop selling the conversion kits. I l...Read more
ater rang my local Harvey Norman store who said they had no idea about this issue. Shriro initially said we'd just have to wait for the part to become available but has since arranged - at their cost - for a plumber to convert the bbq back to lpg - and will then convert it to natural gas again once the natural gas kits are available.1 comment

Not sure
Visually very attractive but I am unsure of the cooking quality. Hopefully, with some advice, I will be able to have a better cook and rate more positive in future. I am unhappy with the irregularity of heat across the bbq surface, More than ever I had to move the meat around to get it to cook evenly. Any advice on this? For how long do I have to heat the bbq up before placing any meat on the grill?
Even the garlic rolls burned in some positions where the others were uncooked.

I have the 3 burner furnace version. Heats extremely quickly and efficiently. Single gas switch on low sits on 175c(lid gauge) with lid closed. All burners on high with lid closed will destroy your food in minutes (350c+) But bbq handled being left on for nearly12 hours on full with lid closed 350c+!!! Completely accidental on my part.

I normally do pizza with lid close. It’s lid is made of very thick material and keep heat in. But I keep observing the temperature because some time burner goes off due to wind.
The manual says not too...but i have cooked with the lid down many times as 120-150 deg C for 10-12 hours.

ROASTING
Roasting (or running the barbeque with the hood down) should not be done with all
control knobs set to high.
This is most important as severe overheating and spoilt food can result if these
instructions are not followed.
Roasting is best done using a raised roasting rack, such as the Everdure by Heston
Blumenthal roasting rack HBROASTR, which allows heated air to circulate around the
meat, and fats to drip away from the meat.
Always set the barbeque up with the standard grill/plate combination as spelled out in the
assembly instructions.
Cut a piece of foil slightly bigger than the roasting rack and place it in the centre of the
barbeque on top of the plate and grills. Cut some slots through the foil so that excess
moisture and fats can flow through the grill. Place the roasting rack centrally over the foil.
Pre-heat the barbeque for 5 minutes with the hood down and the outer gas controls on
high (for FURNACETM barbeques, leave the centre control knob off).
Once the barbeque has reached ~180C, open the hood, place the food on the roasting
rack, close the hood and turn the control knobs down to low (these can be adjusted
during roasting to keep the internal temperature stable, as weather conditions such as
temperature and wind speed will affect the efficiency of the barbeque). Monitor the food
cooking periodically until food is cooked.
