Great BBQ - Recommended
14 days ago
This barbecue really met and exceeded all my expectations. I love having the window so we can see the food and not have to lift the cover 100 times. Keeps a steady heat with bake feature.
Yes, I recommend this product.

Quelle excellente idée de pouvoir voir à l'intérieur sans lever le couvert!
Pretty well built and solid overall. Cabinet doors are sturdy with storage hooks. Even heating and substantial grates. Window is very handy to see cooking progress and the reason we went with this model over a napoleon or webber.

A: same happened to us.... there is a 'reducer' for propane that has to be removed to allow the NG to flow properly to the burners. at least that's what I understood from hubby who googled the problem and figured it out ;-)

Q: We bought this bbq and converted it to natural gas using the recommended kit. Followed the lighting instructions and it has never gone above 325deg with all burners on max10 and we can't cook anything on it without taking hours.... what are we doing wrong

A: The switch screw behind the control knob needs to be adjusted and the propane orifice needs to be removed when converting from propane to natural gas. See page 18 of the instruction manual:

Q: j'ai acheter ce model et au boute de 3 mois déjà des picqueau de rouille sorte du couvert il a t'il de koi a faire avec sa vraiment déçue
A: Tous les matériaux, y compris l'acier inoxydable, peuvent être tachés et corrodés par la saleté, la pollution et les dépôts de graisse. Essuyer toutes les parties extérieures après la cuisson, les garder propres et sèches et les couvrir lorsqu'elles ne sont pas utilisées, est essentiel pour protéger l'apparence et l'intégrité de la surface et éviter la contamination par le fer libre. Comme vous avez identifié les taches à un stade précoce, l'élimination sera simple. Veuillez contacter notre service d'assistance par e-mail à l'adresse support@vidabbqs.com et nous vous fournirons des recommandations de produits de nettoyage et les étapes à suivre.
Nous sommes très heureux de pouvoir vous aider à résoudre votre problème.
Q: We can't seem to get the grill to 'sear' the meat... cooks fine, like baked in an oven, but no 'grill' marks like a true BBQ steak or burger. Flame is covered by the metal. Any suggestions?

A: I don't have this problem. I preheat for several minutes before putting the steak on the grill.

A: Thank you for your question. First ensure you are using the Natural Conversion Kit (85-2261) purchased at Canadian Tire. The kit includes the #17 and #19 wrenches used to remove the regulator and attach the natural gas hose.

Q: Hello,
I recently purchased the 4 burner BBQ and have run into a problem with the assembly. On page 32(step 16B) cord EE came plugged into where BF is. I gently tried to pull on it, but it's well connected. Tried customer service, they were no help.

A: When I put my barbecue together the only wire that was connected was the ground wire. I also had to search underneath for 1 wire that I thought wasn't there. Once I found it it worked fine.
