CosmoGrill Emberr 7

Is the CosmoGrill Emberr 7 worth buying?

Yes, if you want the most heat per pound on a mid-size patio: the CosmoGrill Emberr 7 costs £279.99 and pushes 15.4 kW through six stainless steel main burners and a 3.2 kW side burner. It suits a household that feeds eight or more and wants one zone searing steaks while another holds chicken low under the lid. A cook who grills four burgers on a Tuesday is paying for fire they will never use.

The weak point is the record: 30 buyers rate the CosmoGrill Emberr 7 at 4.0, the smallest body of feedback among the six-burner grills on the ranked10 list. The hardware is all there, from four porcelain-coated flame tamers to a built-in temperature gauge, but nobody can yet say how it looks after three winters. If owner evidence matters more than output, the £199.99 CosmoGrill Original 5 Burner carries 1,036 ratings at 4.4.

What does 15.4 kW across seven burners mean in use?

The CosmoGrill Emberr 7 divides 15.4 kW between seven burners, which works out at about 2.2 kW each, the highest figure per burner of any six-burner grill here. The six main burners do 12.3 kW of that work and the side burner adds the remaining 3.2 kW. In practice 2.2 kW per burner is enough to run two zones flat out and hold a third low, which is what a long table of guests needs.

Spread that heat the other way and the point sharpens. The £199.99 CosmoGrill Original 5 Burner spreads 9.3 kW over five burners, or about 1.9 kW each, so it sears well but has less in reserve for a second round. A grill with 2.8 kW in total, such as the £155.99 Outsunny 4+1, keeps every burner near its ceiling just to hold the grate at heat.

What comes in the box and how big is the CosmoGrill Emberr 7?

The CosmoGrill Emberr 7 arrives with a clip-on propane regulator and hose, an 85 cm porcelain-coated warming rack, four porcelain-coated flame tamers and a removable grease tray. The regulator and hose mean the gas bottle is the only thing left to buy, and no gas grill on the market ships with the bottle. It stands 141 x 52 x 107.5 cm and weighs 30.5 kg, with the cooking height at 85 cm, a comfortable level for loading a full grate.

Two 6" wheels, a double-door cabinet for tools and condiments, and a side shelf that folds away when not in use make it practical rather than pretty. The single-turn piezo ignition lights the burners without a lighter, and the built-in gauge lets you read the hood temperature without opening the lid. Assembly is required, and CosmoGrill covers the grill with a one year manufacturer warranty.

Where does the CosmoGrill Emberr 7 fall short?

Only 30 buyers have rated the CosmoGrill Emberr 7, at 4.0, so its long-term wear is unproven. The grate measures 77 x 34 cm, or 2,618 cm2, which is around 600 cm2 less than the 3,234 cm2 on the £289.99 CosmoGrill Pro Deluxe 7. Cooking two joints plus a round of sides means working in two batches, not one.

Two wheels on a 30.5 kg frame is thin: it rolls forwards and backwards but has to be lifted to turn, and it is not a grill you shift on your own often. No cover comes in the box, so powder-coated steel left out through a British winter wants one bought separately. The gas bottle is a separate purchase as well, even though the hose and regulator are included.

How does the CosmoGrill Emberr 7 compare with the Pro Deluxe 7 and the Original 5 Burner?

The CosmoGrill Emberr 7 undercuts the £289.99 CosmoGrill Pro Deluxe 7 by £10 while putting out 15.4 kW against 14.5 kW, and 2.2 kW per burner against 2.1 kW. The Pro Deluxe 7 answers with a 3,234 cm2 grate, 616 cm2 more cooking surface, and a 39 kg body that sits still in wind. Take the Emberr for heat per pound, the Pro Deluxe 7 for grate area on a long table.

The CosmoGrill Emberr 7 costs £80 more than the £199.99 CosmoGrill Original 5 Burner and returns 6.1 kW more heat plus a sixth main burner. The Original spreads 9.3 kW across a 4+1 layout and carries 1,036 ratings at 4.4, the most owner feedback of any grill at this price. Pick the Original for four to six people and proven reliability; pick the Emberr when eight sit down together.
