Best BBQ: Follow our buying guide!
The barbecue is much more than a simple cooking appliance; it is a symbol of conviviality and shared pleasure! To help you choose the best BBQ, our buying guide presents the different types of barbecues, their components and the most popular models offered at Foyer Gaz.
Key Elements for Choosing the Best BBQ
To find the best BBQ for your outdoor feasts, it is essential to look at the components of the barbecue, because it is the structure that ensures the durability and performance of the appliance:
- Structure: opt for 304 stainless steel for its durability;
- Burners: The more burners, the larger the cooking surface.
- Number of BTUs: A good BBQ requires approximately 80 to 100 BTUs per square inch of cooking surface;
- Cooking surface: Calculate approximately 60 square inches per serving. Ex: for a 400 square inch barbecue, you can prepare about seven portions at a time;
- Griddles: Choose cast iron or stainless steel grills for better heat retention;
- Ignition systems: Regular maintenance of the ignition system is essential to remove greasy residue and prevent rust;
- Wheels: Models with two wheels and two fixed feet offer greater stability; those with four wheels are easier to move.
The different types of barbecues
Gas and propane barbecues
For those looking for fast preparation and simplicity, gas or propane barbecues are excellent choices. They light easily, heat up in minutes and are practical for impromptu meals. Propane models are easy to move, ideal for grilling on the patio or while camping. Remember to monitor the propane level and have a spare bottle on hand.
Charcoal barbecue
Do you love the authentic taste of smoke in your food? The charcoal barbecue will delight your taste buds with every meal! This barbecue offers high-temperature and constant cooking, ideal for searing meats and varying cooking methods (including smoking). Preheating can sometimes be slower without the addition of a starter chimney.
Pellet barbecue
Simple and versatile, the pellet barbecue plugs in like an electrical appliance and offers a thermostatically controlled temperature. Note that it cannot be used in the event of a power outage.
Wood barbecue
Lovers of woody flavors, you will appreciate the wood barbecue, which brings a unique taste to meats, fish, vegetables (and even fruits!) depending on the type of wood used. Compact and easy to light, it is also easy to move if you feel like going on a picnic! However, the wood barbecue requires the purchase of natural hardwood and its cooking surface is limited.
