CosmoGrill Pro Deluxe with Cover

Is the CosmoGrill Pro Deluxe with Cover worth buying?

Yes, the CosmoGrill Pro Deluxe with Cover is worth £299.99 if you regularly cook for eight or more people and want the grill to live outside all year. It carries six main burners plus a side burner for 14.5 kW in total, a 3,214 cm2 grate and a 600D Oxford cover in the box, and 366 owners rate it 4.5.

The case for it rests on heat and surface together, not on any single trick. A double-walled hood traps warmth while the built-in thermostat shows what is happening under the lid, and the piezo ignition lights each of the seven burners on its own. If your table rarely seats more than six, the 4+1 CosmoGrill Original does the job for £199.99 and weighs 17 kg less.

How much heat does the CosmoGrill Pro Deluxe 6+1 put out?

It puts out 14.5 kW in total, split as six stainless steel main burners at 2 kW each plus a 2.5 kW side burner. That is 2 kW to 2.5 kW behind every flame, which is the kind of output that marks a steak in two minutes rather than steaming it grey, and it is roughly five times the 2.8 kW of the £155.99 Outsunny 4+1.

The grate measures 77 x 42 cm, or 3,214 cm2, which is about 946 cm2 more than the 2,268 cm2 of the Outsunny 4+1 and close to double the 1,764 cm2 of the Outsunny 3+1. Twenty-one power levels across seven elements let you run the outer burners at a bare flame, and the full-length stainless steel warming rack holds the first round while the second cooks. V-shaped flame tamers sit between the burners and the food, so dripping fat misses the gas ports.

What comes in the box with the CosmoGrill Pro Deluxe 6+1?

In the carton you get the grill assembled in 149 x 55 x 110 cm, four racks, the enamelled grease tray, a stainless steel warming rack, a side table, a user manual and the 600D Oxford cover. The cover is UV and dust resistant and drops over the whole unit once it has cooled. The gas hose and regulator are not included, so you need a 37 mbar propane regulator before the first cook.

It weighs 39 kg and rolls on two castors, which means it moves along a patio but not up steps, and it is not a grill one person lifts. Grates and grease tray come out for washing and the rest of the body takes a wipe down. The cabinet below has double doors for tools, plates and bottles, and the manufacturer warns that a gas cylinder must never sit inside it while the grill is running. A one-year manufacturer warranty covers the unit.

What are the drawbacks of the CosmoGrill Pro Deluxe with Cover?

Weighing 39 kg, it is a grill you place once and leave. Two castor wheels help, but you want a clear run across the patio because turning it on gravel or grass takes effort. The matching warning about the cabinet matters too: the cylinder sits outside the trolley during use, so plan a spot for the bottle beside the grill.

The enamelled steel grates and the painted body will not age the way the cast iron grate on the £169.99 Fire Mountain Sierra does, although enamel copes with fast temperature swings without warping. Twenty-one power levels also read as more adjustment than you feel, because most cooking happens in the top third of the dial and the last few clicks change very little.

CosmoGrill Pro Deluxe with Cover vs the CosmoGrill Original and the Emberr 7

The nearest rival is the CosmoGrill Original 5 Burner at £199.99. It saves £100, weighs 22 kg instead of 39 kg and gives 9.3 kW against 14.5 kW here, which is plenty for four to six people. Choose the Original for a mid-size patio and smaller gatherings; choose this one when eight sit down at once and the extra 6.5 kW keeps the second round moving.

The CosmoGrill Emberr 7 costs £20 less at £279.99 and puts out 15.4 kW, a shade above this grill, with a 2,618 cm2 grate against the 3,214 cm2 here. It also brings a propane regulator and hose, which this one does not. Buy the Emberr for maximum heat straight out of the box, and this one for the larger cooking surface and the 600D cover that lets it stay outside.
