Opening up the packaging I tracked down the instructions and went to work. The delivery was quick and came in no less than 5 packages, with two of them being huge boxes! I thought that either the BBQ was massive, or the packaging was over the top (spoiler, it was both!). I also ordered the rotisserie attachment, too (why not!?). Shivani at Cosmo Grill helped sort the order out and was very helpful. I made a bit of a mess up ordering, as I didn't realise there was a combo offer of the BBQ and cover. She made me feel more comfortable in the product by saying it was all made from stainless steel - I knew it said it on the website, but wasn't sure whether that was just a bit of marketing.

Sarah at Cosmo Grill was very helpful and responded very quickly, even with it being the weekend, too. I had to double check about spare parts, though, after being stung with two BBQs where one had outrageously priced parts and the other were simply not available. At the time I decided was going to go for the Platinum 4+2, but then egged myself on to get the Platinum 6+2 BBQ. I saw the Cosmo Grill BBQs, so had a look on their website, directly. So, off I went browsing Amazon to find a suitable replacement. This meant that one of the burner covers had dropped on to the burner below, making a section of the BBQ unusable. While it had rusted all over the fire box, the main issue was that it had rusted badly at the back, specifically on the tiny brackets where the burner covers sat. What let it down, however, was the fact that only the lid and base / frame was stainless steel. In fact, it performed pretty well cooking-wise. This was a 6 burner, up from 4, so was pretty decent on paper. Since that purchase the price for the same BBQ had gone up an awful lot, so I decided to purchase a replacement from Argos. I first bought a Weber BBQ, which lasted a reasonable amount of time before rusting and looking tatty.
