Which kind of BBQ grill should you choose?

You may already know that you prefer a classic charcoal BBQ grill. Or maybe you are dedicated to the modern gas grills. The first requires a firestarter and takes a little effort to start, but many will consider this type of grill the proper way to produce grilled food – partly because that is what we have done for many years! Others may prefer a gas grill, where you can start it up by turning a knob or pushing a button. Furthermore, on a gas grill, you can regulate the temperature much more quickly to ensure a great result every time. There are other types of BBQ grills; here, you can see the types we offer. Find out the pros and cons, and if you have more questions, do not hesitate to contact our Xperts. Here, you can see an overview of the high-quality BBQ grills that you can choose from:

We start with a classic – the charcoal grill

These classic grills are well-known for their ability to impart a rich, smoky flavour to the food you prepare on the sizzling hot grates. It is no secret that charcoal grills are a favourite among purists or classicists. The grills provide high heat for grilling and can be adjusted for indirect cooking, making them versatile for grilling and barbecuing. However, light and maintaining or regulating temperature require a little more effort. In short, a charcoal grill takes a little more work than other types of grills, but that is part of the charm and worth the effort, some would claim. Others may say that the food can be ’over-grilled’ and scorched, but that is a question about how you manage grilling food on the charcoal grill. In general, the food is delicious and succulent.   

The easy-to-start gas grill

The modern gas grills offer the convenience of quick ignition and easy temperature control. They are perfect for those who want to grill with minimal fuss. If you like grilled food and wish to have it more regularly, a gas grill makes it easy to prepare food even on a weekday. Here, you may need more time to start a charcoal grill. Some will claim that a gas grill does not give you the same smoky flavour as charcoal, but that is partly a matter of taste and a question about how you prepare the food and what kind of rub or marinades you use. We promise you that you can produce fantastic food on a gas grill!

Pellet grills and smokers for even more incredible food

A pellet grill combines the best of both worlds, giving you direct heat for grilling and indirect heat for barbecuing. Finally, you can smoke all sorts of food, so you can enjoy the rich flavour that smoked food offers. By choosing various types of wood, you can infuse meat, fish and other food with an excellent taste that can only be created inside a pellet grill or smoker. This grill or smoker uses wood pellets to generate heat and smoke, and with one of these ’machines’, you can infuse all kinds of food with a distinct smoky flavour. Like the gas grills, the pellet grills offer precise temperature control to make the best result every time. Pellet grills are versatile, allowing you to grill, barbecue, roast, smoke, and even bake.

The electric grill that can be used indoors

An electric grill can be used indoors as the only type of BBQ grill. Most of us love to be outside on the patio to grill food for friends and family. The dedicated grill master even uses the grill on weekdays to create delicious food without a special occasion. When the weather is acting up, being outside grilling food can be a mixed experience. If you have a BBQ pergola or another kind of gazebo or shelter for the grill, it can be all right, but with an electric grill, you are not dependent on the weather. You start the grill indoors instead of all other grills and enjoy some excellent food, whether it is raining or snowing. Electric grills are generally compact and ideal for places with limited room, like a balcony or kitchen. Finally, they are effortless to use as you plug them in and turn them on—no charcoal, gas or pellets. The only flaw could be that they lack the traditional smokiness, but in general, an electric grill still delivers excellent results for both grilling and barbecuing.

Grilled food is so much more than ’just’ food

No matter which kind of BBQ grill you prefer – some even have more than one grill to cover all aspects of the BBQ and grill movement - you can look forward to many beautiful meals outside in the garden or on the patio. Having grilled food on the patio or elsewhere is always a lovely experience. You may be just the family or together with friends. A barbecue evening is often something special – even on a weekday night. If you are dedicated, you can set up the grill outside and prepare grilled food all year. Due to the weather, you need a grill pergola or another kind of gazebo or shelter to be ’ undercover’ when you prepare some great food during the year. We offer various pergolas and gazebos for BBQ grills and other purposes.
