BBQ of the week – The Rondo Dark Masonry BBQ

Sometimes we get a run on a certain product, and it flies out of the warehouse. Meet our BBQ of the week, the Rondo Dark Masonry BBQ.

With spring on the horizon and winter almost behind us at last, the UK’s garden-lovers are waking up, smelling the coffee, and settling down to choose quality barbecues to support a fun, funky outdoor lifestyle. Right now this little beauty is firing the nation’s imagination… or should we say this big beauty? This one’s much more than a pretty face. It’s also awesome to cook on, so let’s explore the details.

About the Rondo Dark Masonry BBQ

This is a particularly striking masonry BBQ. It’s made using gorgeous, richly toned, dark coloured slate which sits back subtly against your garden, giving you all the functionality you need as well as a beautiful, slightly quirky appearance. Think castles, manor houses, and ancient stone towers. Such a cool look

It also happens to cook as good as it looks. This stylish stone BBQ cooks on a big BBQ grill and also comes with a built-in manual rotisserie for superb spit-roasting. If your mouth’s already watering, you’re not the only one.

The cooking area measures 58cm x 40cm, nice and big. It’s built to last for many years as a permanent garden fixture, and you also get a full 1 year guarantee.

Inside, the clever design is optimised for cooking excellence, as you can see from the diagram. It’s fiendishly efficient, the way the structure draws and pulls the air through the body to create fast, high heat. See below – the cool air is coloured blue and the hot air is red.

The Rondo slate BBQ burns charcoal perfectly but also takes wood chips or logs to give you a unique wood smoke flavour to your food. Because it draws the air through the body so efficiently, your cooking temperature is reliably high and steady.

The Rondo dark slate BBQ – Exciting features

Extra features come in the form of a fire tray for a safe, easy to maintain burn, plus an ash catcher to make the cleaning-up process quick and simple, minimising mess.

As you can imagine, being masonry, there’s very little cleaning and practically no maintenance. Just wash it clean with soapy water if it starts looking grubby – or leave it to develop an aged-looking patina if you prefer.

The look

The high-quality finish of this posh BBQ makes it special, with top materials and workmanship every step of the way. Real slate plus a design that blends contemporary and traditional looks mean it works in every sort of garden, from tumbling and flower-filled to minimalist and modern. And because it’s a dark colour it won’t stand out like shiny metal BBQs can. It’ll sit back against the garden quietly and subtly for a smart, tasteful garden entertainment area.

The delivery

Delivered to your door with full instructions, it measures an impressive 206cm high by 119cm wide and 77cm deep. The manufacturer can deliver it free to your doorstep in the UK, usually within 5 – 10 working days. If they’re really busy it can take longer, so be sure to buy yours in good time if you’re planning to use it soon. Assembly is very easy, taking two of you just a short time. It’s heavy at 800kg, which speaks to the quality of the materials and build.
