### Summer's Coming - Get Cooking
BBQs look simple in the showroom. Open that box and you're faced with **dozens of parts, multiple bags of hardware, and instructions assuming you've got three hands**.
> ⚠️ **Gas BBQ safety matters.** Get the connections wrong and you've got a genuine hazard. I leak-test every joint - it's the only way to be certain.

### Why Professional Assembly Matters
| ✅ Done Right | ❌ Common Problems | |--------------|-------------------| | Gas joints leak-tested | Slow gas leak you can't smell | | Heat shields positioned correctly | Flare-ups and uneven cooking | | All bolts torqued properly | Wobbly parts, things loosening | | First burn-off completed | Cooking on manufacturing oils |
I've seen BBQs that look fine but have serious safety issues. Don't risk it.

Good to Know
> 🔥 **Choose position before building** - assembled BBQs are heavy and awkward. Think about wind direction (smoke into kitchen gets old fast) and distance from fences. **Positioning tips:** - At least 1 metre from fences, sheds, overhanging branches - Hard, level surface (paving slabs ideal) - Consider wind direction relative to seating - Easy access to kitchen makes cooking easier **Gas bottle storage:** - Store upright, outdoors, away from direct sunlight - Never store spare bottles directly under BBQ - Check regulator date stamps - replace every few years
Frequently Asked Questions about BBQ assembly in Dawlish
Can you connect my gas BBQ to the bottle?
Yes - I connect the regulator, check all gas fittings, and do a proper leak test. Gas safety isn't something to rush. I use soapy water on every joint and won't leave until connections are proven safe.
How long does BBQ assembly take?
Most BBQs take 1.5 to 2.5 hours. Basic charcoal kettles are quicker, while large gas BBQs with side burners take longer. I'll give you a realistic estimate when I see the model.
Do I need to do anything before you arrive?
Have the BBQ delivered to where you want it built - moving assembled barbecues through the house is a nightmare. If it's gas, having the bottle ready helps. I'll handle the rest.
What BBQ brands do you assemble?
All of them. Weber, Outback, Char-Broil, Napoleon, Traeger pellet grills, kamado-style cookers - if it comes in a box, I can build it.
Will you take away the packaging?
Yes - all the cardboard, polystyrene, and plastic. BBQ boxes are always huge, and fitting them in your car for the tip is a pain. Garden will look exactly as before, minus the pile of boxes.
