In this guide, we will provide you with valuable information to help you make an informed decision.

Gas Barbecue

A gas barbecue is a convenient and user-friendly option. It reduces smoke emissions, making it suitable for those who dislike smoke. Additionally, gas is a cost-effective fuel choice. Unlike charcoal, using a gas barbecue ensures less mess, as you won't have to deal with dirty hands, dust, or ashes. This feature makes it a popular alternative for those who prefer hassle-free cooking without compromising on flavor.

Coal Barbecue

The coal barbecue is a classic option found in many homes. It features stainless steel construction and a cooking grill, providing a cooking experience similar to that of an oven. Coal is an inexpensive fuel and readily available at supermarkets. The compact size of the grill makes it portable, allowing you to enjoy barbecues wherever you go. However, it requires more attention to bring the coal to the right temperature, so careful monitoring is necessary.

Wood-Burning Barbecue

The wood-burning barbecue offers a unique and delightful cooking experience reminiscent of traditional, rustic kitchens. Cooking with wood imparts a sublime taste to the food, although it takes longer for the grill to reach the desired temperature compared to coal barbecues. The direct heat from the flame enhances the cooking process, but it requires careful attention to prevent uneven cooking. For versatility, some barbecues offer dual cooking options for both wood and coal. These models provide flexibility and ensure cooking success. With reasonable prices and guaranteed success, wood and coal combination barbecues are worth considering.

Pellet Barbecue

Pellet barbecues offer several advantages. The pellets, made from small pieces of wood, have a high calorific value, meaning you need only a modest quantity to heat the grill. The heat produced lasts for an extended period, eliminating the need for constant flame revival. Pellets can be easily found in supermarkets, and their usage minimizes the risk of gas leaks or explosions associated with hot coals. Furthermore, pellet bags are compact and convenient for transportation. Say goodbye to the hassle of carrying heavy wood and enjoy the benefits of pellet barbecues.

Lava Rock Barbecue

The lava rock barbecue presents an exciting alternative to traditional barbecues. By utilizing volcanic rocks, this type of barbecue maximizes the benefits of lava's properties. The rocks, heated by the gas flame, retain heat for a longer duration and provide a controlled and uniform cooking experience. They enhance the flavor and tenderness of the food, resulting in healthier and more enjoyable meals.

Table Barbecue

The table barbecue is a space-saving tool gaining popularity. Its versatility allows for barbecuing in winter months or locations without outdoor spaces. This type of barbecue emits minimal smoke and can be used on balconies, gardens, campers, campsites, and even boats. Its compact and portable design makes it a convenient option for enjoying barbecues wherever you please.

Portable Barbecue

For those who can't do without barbecuing while on the move, portable barbecues offer the perfect solution. Available in gas and coal options, these barbecues are designed for travel. Despite their compact size, they feature large plates, allowing you to cook multiple servings simultaneously.

Outdoor barbecue

The outdoor barbecue or the garden barbecue is a type of barbecue set up for outdoor spaces. As in the standard grill you can choose the fuel like coal, wood, gas or electric with additional masonry that is mainly used outside

The barbecue is often equipped with side shelves and can be powered by gas or wood. In the case you choose the gas one, you will have immediate heat because you need to open the cylinder to start cooking. Be careful about how to store and keep ip away from children. The outdoor wood barbecue, on the other hand, is the most classic solution and some types include areas where you can store! 

Barbecue Grills

Each barbecue will have its grill according to the type you choose. In the case of table barbecue, the grill will be of modest size. If we talk about the portable barbecue, the grill will be medium-sized, while the integrated and more frequent use in outdoor barbecues will have a grill large enough for you to cook for several people.
