Best BBQ sold by Canadian Tire
10 years ago
Bought this BBQ many years ago from Canadian Tire. It's been sitting outdoor in our backyard with only a thin BBQ cover on. Despite the snow, rain, storms, the BBQ has very little rust.
Because of the nice weather this weekend, we fired it up for a family BBQ. It still cooks a very delicious meal for us.
Recommended.
Yes, I recommend this product.

will never buy masterchef again
10 years ago
bought this thinking it would be great for the money - masterchef is backed by canadian tire. 5 months after we bought the bbq there was rust on the cooking surface.
I thought it would be covered under warranty but they wouldn't take it back citing they don't cover rust.
after ALOT of fighting with masterchef and getting canadian tire head office involved, they sent me a new grill...this was november 2014. I just went to clean the bbq for the season and the grill is rusted again (march 2015) even after doing the step by step instructions of "seasoning the grill" (disgusting i might add having to season your grill with shortening)
my bbq sits on a covered deck in an enclosure so it does not get very exposed to elements.
Alot of work caring for a porcelain grill - and i didn't even get one full season out of it.
bought march 2014 - died march 2015. you buy cheap, you buy twice.
No, I do not recommend this product.

Q: can this unit be self-assembled and connected to my house's natural gas line? I don't have to have a natural gas line pulled; it's already there. So what is involved in plugging this BBQ to my line? Can I do it myself, or does this still require professional help?
13 years ago2 Answers
A: if you have the outlet out side already it's just a matter or connecting it and can be done by you. I have been using natural gas BBQ's for over 15 years and I would never go back to propane.

Q: DOES THIS UNIT COME WITH THE CONNECTION REGULATOR AND CONNECTING HOSE
11 years ago1 Answer
A: Hello and thank you for your question. A natural gas barbecue does not use a regulator - it uses a natural gas hose. This barbecue comes with a 10 foot natural gas hose with a quick connect. The propane version of this unit comes with a regulator.

Q: Do you need rocks or chips in the Master Chef s420? Just bought the Master Chef S420 a couple of weeks ago. It cooks great and we love it. Really dig the electric igniter. Should we have put lava rocks or some other kind of chip/rock in the bottom to help with the grease and all that? Thanks
Anonymous12 years ago1 Answer
A: Thank you for your question. Great to hear that you are happy with the product. No lava rock is necessary. The product includes; flame tamers which sit over top of your burners to protect them and also to distribute heat more evenly. The key with this BBQ is to remove the build up off of your heat plates on a regular basis. Because they catch all of your drippings, it is common if too much grease has built up to have flare ups on this part. use a plastic paint scrapper- this works best. Also, I would recommend never burning off grease off your cooking grates at the end of your cooking session. Always leave the grease on your grates to protect them until the next usage. Also, remember to preheat on high and adjust the temperature to medium, or min depending on what you are cooking.

A: Thank you for your question. No, your BBQ does not require lava rock or any other type of radiant because it uses heat plates to channel the grease away from the burners and catch drippings. The key is to keep the heat plates free of grease by cleaning them often with your grill brush to avoid flare ups caused by built up grease. Hope this was helpful.

Q: does the front portion of the grill heat up or is it only the back? The rear of my MasterChef BBQ seems to heat up more at the rear of the grill then the front. Is this normal for these grills or is there something wrong/broken?
Anonymous12 years ago1 Answer
A: Thank you for your question. The model you are referring to is a 4 burner model. This unit when preheated for approximately 10-15 minutes on high, should offer fairly stable temperatures, and should get pretty hot. The key is to ensure that you preheat with the lid closed so that the temperature at the cooking grate surface has the chance to heat and stabilize. However, on most of these grills, the front 2-3 inches of the cooking surface, or the area closest to the user, will run slightly cooler for safety reasons. Another way to check if your unit is running efficiently, is to check the burners flame pattern and height. The burner flame should be between 1-2" high, blue with orange tips, and all ports on all burners must be lit with fairly even flame. If for example, you lit your BBQ and saw large orange flames on one burner, this would indicate an obstruction in your burners venturi- likely a spider or web. You should shut down, wait for the burner to cool and clean the venturi of the burner. If for example, you try to light all 4 burners and 1-3 of the burners are not lighting or have low flame, this would indicate incorrect lighting has occurred and you will need to consult your manual to reset your flow limiting feature built into the regulator. I've probably given more information than you needed, but in the life of your grill, knowing the above information will help you understand the most relevant troubleshooting. Hope this helps. Happy grilling!
