Outback Hunter (3 Burner)

A solid bbq with substantial burners. Cooks food well

This bbq has side shelves that drop down for ease of storage, however when I erected the bbq the shelves would not lock into the horizontal position. Eventually Outback had to send me replacement bolts that were thinner than the ones supplied. This...

Big cooking area, easy to control

Not enough sunshine throughout the year so not used as much as I would like.

Good value for money, high quality product, easy to build and works well. Particularly easy to keep clean.

Skimpy on number of lava rocks, had to buy a few to subsititute.

Brilliant design. 3 separately controlled burners Temperature gauge in the lid

None, but make sure you put the grills in the right position with the flame tamers

Griddle plate is something I haven't used before but it cooks really evenly, in fact the whole bbq cooks very evenly - no especially hot or cool spots, so perfectly even cooking.

Haven't found any bad points yet.

Easy to assemble, although four arms would come in handy for placing the heavy lid and burners into the wooden frame. Good even cooking and not too heavy on gas consumption. Folding shelves an asset, as it reduces overall size footprint. Very solid and...

A bit fiddly to clean. The Outback cover is flimsier than the one I used to have on my previous Outback Flatbed model. Wheels may not be man-enough for the job if you intend to move the BBQ around a lot, as the overall construction is sturdy, but heavy...

Solid feel, good quality materials. A no-nonsense feel to it

Easy to set up. Heats up quickly, roasts items under closed hood particularly well.

Solid griddle plate much more effective than the grill grid. Difficult at times to balance/control the two different cooking areas. Awkward to clean, the grill and griddle both just too large to fit in a standard 2 gallon bucket and no sink nearby.

Dead easy to use and great results. Next year we will cook joints of meat to see if they come out as good as steaks, burgers, corn on the cob etc.

A bit tricky to assemble but stick with it, its a good build at the end of the day.

Very easy to control the heat
