Really helpful in providing parts for an obsolete Chesney Heat 500. Wish they still made them - I'd replace when it eventually dies in a heartbeat. Hopefully it will keep going, it's certainly built t... See more

Want a BBQ for the summer buy Kamado don't choose Chesney

I have purchased from Chesneys before and always happy with the product especially the Shoreditch Wood Burner we purchased in November 2020.
We then purchased a Heat and Grill in April 2021, promised we would get it for summer, turns out after many pleas to get it for my husband's birthday in May, my son's birthday in June, family wedding in July we are now being told possibly the end of August . . .
The communication has been extremely poor from the company with no reassurance if the warranty starts from date of purchase or delivery, as this makes a huge difference. Requesting summer delivery for this out door product, Chesney's retaught is " that its an all year round product" but who barbeques their Christmas lunch?
I am very disappointed as seventeen months on from the pandemic, the company blames it inadequate service on Covid and Brexit. . . really?
We are on the verge of cancelling as we have seen the Kamado Red wood grill which is fantastic looking has many more features, is similarly priced and available for delivery tomorrow. We also like the look of the Green Egg similar spec but far cheaper.
To sum up the Chesney product is great, the communication poor, customer care non-existent, the delivery "whenever" please learn from us-
think before you buy.

Hi there and thanks for your review
We are very sorry for the delays and fully accept that you are hugely disappointed. It has been an awful period and while you clearly do not believe it, one we have tried to negotiate honestly. When delays have come they have come unexpectedly and we have been left in the unfortunate position of trying to explain them to you our customers.
While we accept you wish to harm our business by referring people elsewhere there are just 2 points I’d like to make.
1. We do take exception to your suggestion that Covid and Brexit are not affecting wait times. They remain central to our issues and have caused material price increases of between 40 and 200% and transportation inflation (from China in particular) of nearly 400%. We are not lying however hard you find it to believe
2. It’s great that you have found alternative models that you like but just in case anyone else were to misunderstand the other machines you are referring to are only cooking appliances and not dual function heater BBQs
We are very sorry for your annoyance and we completely get it. We deserve it. But I promise you we are not lying and not incurring delays for any unspoken reasons.
Sorry again

Great product and all teething issues sorted.

I want to give a 5 * review as this product (Clean Burn) is a great addition to your outside living. Customer services dealt with my issues in a friendly and satisfactorily way. The lead in time was more than expected and the delivery company not only let me down but let Chesneys down. And whilst that is something they can pick up and improve on i did feel it unfair to criticise Chesney for this. So to sum up the unit is now with me and is and excellent well made product and Customer Services are there doing a great job to resolve any issues.

Superior Quality

I’ve shopped around many fireplace companies and have been buying from Chesneys for a number of years now.
Their product range and quality is far superior to anyone else.

Over promising but under delivering

Not impressed by constant delays in fulfilling my order which was made in March 2021. I purchased through another company who say that there is nothing they can do as Chesneys are over promising but under delivering. I have been given three different delivery dates, all of which have been cancelled at the last minute. Not good enough.

Thank you for your comments and apologies again for the delays. We understand that you must be very frustrated. There is very little we can say in mitigation that I’m sure your dealer hasn’t told you already about the delays caused by Brexit and product shortages in Europe and so can only apologise again. We too have felt totally powerless at times with our suppliers letting us down but understand that this will give you very little solace.

Marble fireplace

We wanted an elegant quality fireplace for our listed home. We did our research and very pleased to have chosen Chesnys. Everything superseded our expectation and most delighted with the end result.

The Astonishing Heat and Grill

Our Heat and Grill arrived in March 2021 and we are delighted with it. Superb build quality, easy to light, burns very clean and it throws out a tremendous heat. Our friends and family have been astonished by it. Just be warned - your guests will not want to leave!

Heat & Grill is well made and as described

Heat & Grill is well made and exactly as described and arrived on time. Marked down from a 5 in that the "white glove" installers knew little more about the device than we did and were really just a delivery service and the smokeless operation is a lot less smokeless than expected even with kiln dried wood. Cooking is however a lot more controlled than a conventional barbeque.

Really impressed

I recently bought the outdoor clean burn wood burner stove.
It’s a really well made and attractive piece of kit. And my goodness it kicks out some heat .
Service was first class including white glove delivery .

Really impressed

Superb Clean Burn Stove

I received my Clean Burn stove in good condition and well packaged. The stove is of excellent quality and the performance is stunning. It really is clean burning. I only use kiln dried logs so there is very little smoke.

The only issue I had is with the delivery company. I was given a delivery date but the delivery company delivered the wrong and empty box! They did however, deliver my stove the following day. Chesneys were very helpful in getting this issue resolved quickly.

I would highly recommend this stove. It is expensive, but the build quality and performance is excellent.

Clean Burn Outdoor Stove

The Clean Burn Outdoor Stove we ordered arrived ahead of the long delivery date which was a nice surprise. The stove itself is absolutely fantastic. It burn better than the wood burner we have indoors which cost 4 times as much. We are delighted with the quality and functionality.
