The FIDGI 4 from Cook'in Garden is less a BBQ and more a complete outdoor kitchen unit. Four gas burners are split between a grill half and a griddle half, and the 253 cm frame adds a side stove, a sink, a side table and storage. It is for a household that wants to cook whole meals outside without carrying pans back and forth.

In its favour
- Two burners under a grill and two under an enamelled cast iron griddle cover meat and breakfasts at once.
- A sink, storage and a side table are built into the 253 cm long unit.
- The maker gives a two year guarantee and lists spare parts availability for two years.
Good to know
- The listing describes the side stove as a way to keep dishes warm and gives no output.
- At 253 cm long and 76.4 kg across three parcels, it needs a lot of space and assembly time.
Our take
Grill, griddle and side stove
The maker describes two burners under a grill section and two under a griddle section, with a total of 14.5 kW. Both cooking surfaces are enamelled cast iron. That split lets you sear sausages on bars on one side while frying eggs or onions on the flat plate on the other.
The side stove is described as a way to keep dishes at temperature. The listing gives no output for it, so treat it as a warming ring rather than a powerful burner for boiling water quickly.
The rest of the unit
A thermometer is fitted to the hood. Storage sits underneath, and multi-directional wheels with brakes allow you to move the kitchen. The title and description both mention a sink, which is rare at this level, though you will need to work out how water reaches it and drains away in your garden.
The whole unit is 253 cm long, 57 cm deep and 114 cm high, and weighs 76.4 kg. It arrives in three parcels and needs assembling, with instructions included. Delivery is to the door at the bottom of the building, according to the listing.
Cleaning and guarantee
Cook'in Garden suggests running the grill at full power for a few minutes and pouring on a glass of water to lift residue. The maker gives a two year guarantee, and the specification lists spare parts for two years.
How it compares
The CosmoGrill Pro Deluxe 6+1 gives a conventional 2.5 kW side burner and six main burners on a far smaller footprint. The Weber Genesis II E-310 GBS is a heavier, more conventional cart BBQ with a stated side burner. Neither offers a griddle half or a sink, which is where the FIDGI 4 earns its space.
Verdict
The FIDGI 4 makes sense if you have the room for a 2.5 metre unit and want a grill, griddle and sink in one place. If you only need a side ring for sauces, the CosmoGrill Pro Deluxe 6+1 is far more compact, and the Weber Genesis II E-310 GBS suits anyone after a heavy, traditional cart BBQ.
