Charcoal or Gas Barbecue Guide
Whether you choose a charcoal barbecue or gas barbecue grill the food will taste equally as delicious! We’ve put together a guide to help you make the choice. Charcoal Barbecues Charcoal barbecues may be constructed of stainless steel or cast iron. Stainless steel with a baked-on enamel finish are undoubtedly the best bet as the enamel protects the steel from peeling or rusting. Heavy duty plastic wheels are preferable as they will not crack in cold or hot weather. Features Nickel plated or stainless steel cooking grates will be easy to clean and not prone to rusting. Wooden or plastic handles do not heat up when the grill is in use. Look for a hinged grate so that you can add charcoal easily while in use. Some charcoal grills also have a cleaning system to sift the ashes and make cleaning easier. Grills that have an incorporated work surface are handy but make sure the surface is easy to clean and durable. Advantages & Disadvantages Charcoal barbecues are not as clean to use as gas barbecues but many people prefer the traditional atmosphere from using a charcoal grill. They are not so easy to light as gas barbecues but to many people lighting the barbecue is all part of the fun! They also need the ashes to be cleaned out after use. They are cheaper to buy than gas barbecues but more expensive to run. Make sure that the charcoal you buy is from a sustainable source. Gas Barbecues Again stainless steel with a baked-on enamel finish is preferable for its durability and resistance to rusting. Make sure the leg supports are welded as this will ensure strength and stability. A barbecue with a lid is more convenient and two or more burners that are evenly spaced are needed to ensure even cooking. The cooking system may be lava rocks at the bottom of the compartment or angled steel bars. The angled bars are preferred as they prevent juices from the cooking food pooling and causing flare-ups. Instead the juices are vaporised and the rising smoke gives the grilling food a better taste. Side burners are optional in many systems and are ideal for cooking sauces etc. Advantages & Disadvantages Gas barbecues are clean to use, easy to light and temperature control is at the touch of a button. They are usually more expensive than charcoal barbecues but are cheaper to run. |
