Which barbecue to choose? Gas, coal, electric or hybrid?

Want to enjoy more of the outdoors? Are you a lover of a good barbecue? Do you live in the city or the countryside, in a house or an apartment? Do you prefer coal, gas or electricity? Choosing a barbecue is not an easy task!

Many factors can influence your decision, and In&Out Cooking will help you to simplify this process.

GAS BARBECUES

A barbecue is always a great way, not only to get a tasty and healthy meal but also to gather friends or family. However, the conventional charcoal or firewood barbecue has been gradually replaced by the gas barbecue.

Unlike coal barbecues, it's possible to control even the temperature of gas barbecues.

It has an instant ignition that allows a faster and simpler use, avoiding the excessive smoke of traditional grills. There's no need to continually feed the fire if you want to cook all day long. They are also easier to clean, saving you time. Besides, they have a lid that you can use to preserve heat and retain food nutrients.

It's also a much more convenient and comfortable solution because it's easy to use and clean and doesn't require charcoal or wood. As there are several formats, it can be adapted to a particular area, especially small places, where it is difficult to set up a traditional barbecue. It allows you to optimize a specific space of your home.

CHARCOAL BARBECUES

For many people, a charcoal barbecue is still the only way to grill well. From the lighting of the charcoal, while stoking the embers, to the secret joy of putting out the flames with beer - the charcoal barbecue still has many fans who want to preserve the “magic” of the grill.

Barbecues are not just tools used to grill meat. They provide moments of leisure with friends and family. For large gatherings or small ones, a house with a barbecue is, first of all, a house white fun.

Charcoal barbecues are much easier to carry around. In different models, such as gas, for instance, you need to think about the barbecue and also the cylinder. Even if gas or electricity can reach high temperatures, around 300°C, nothing can compare to the calorific value of coal. It can reach a temperature up to 500°C - perfect for roasting.

Most of the modern models make it possible to increase or lower the level of charcoal, as well as the grills where meat and vegetables are placed. Thanks to this, it is possible to achieve different cooking levels at different speeds.

Depending on the type of charcoal used, the meat gets a unique and different flavour. The smoke caused by the embers also helps the meat flavour to grow more special, with a texture hard to achieve with a different type of barbecue!

ELECTRIC BARBECUES

Gas or charcoal barbecues are not allowed anywhere, but you don't need to refrain from grilling for a long time, because electric barbecues are perfect for the small balcony of an apartment in the city.

They are a more homely and conservative option for those who want to grill indoors or on small balconies. Because they are electric, they do not add flavor to the grills. The electric models are practical, as they only require one power source and doesn’t need air to escape (since they hardly emit smoke).

Everyone can enjoy the real taste of American barbecues.

Just plug in, grill and enjoy the taste! Revolutionize the traditional barbecue, in the comfort of your balcony.

HYBRID BARBECUES

Still undecided on what type of barbecue to buy?

Can't decide between gas or coal? Hybrid barbecues are increasingly popular and convert easily from gas to coal in a few seconds. With some models, such as the Char-griller Duo Hybrid, you can grill on gas or charcoal at the same time. Now, you can have the advantage of a gas barbecue and the distinct taste of coal in the same equipment, allowing you to save space on your porch or in your garage.

Enjoy and have the best of both worlds!
