we normally but our bbq's from a name brand bbq shop, but this time decided to give the Matador a go ( after out last expensive bbq failed again)..it is so much better than we anticipated, the fat draining system is so much better than some of its competitors and is easy to use and clean..i also now use the bbq clean wipes and the plates and bbq itself is staying clean very easily . it is solid with plenty of room to cook with nice big plates. Would highly recommend and buy again if the need ever arose .

The BBQ has a unique fat draining system with curved channels in the grill plate as well as the grill and hot plate tilted to the front to a channel that collects the fat at the side. Put some fat soak in the container. It is amazing how much fat accumulates. Good heat from the BBQ with all burners on. Easy to adjust heat down if needed.

After replacing a new gassmate bbq that was useless with the matador titan i couldn't be happier. Grill works great with ceramic tile diffusers, haven't used hotplate side alot,but heat distribution is pretty good. Front is slightly cooler than the rest but still usable unlike the gassmate bbq! Also used a couple of times as an enclosed oven for roast and pizzas. Works great, heats up quick and can get very hot if not careful! Only real disappointment is the warming rack. Its very deep-which could be a good thing- but makes it difficult to access food cooking from middle off plate/grill to the back. Fairly easy to remove so if its not Really needed i remove it.
