Choose between a charcoal grill and a gas grill depending on how you like to cook outdoors; some prefer the smoked flavour of food cooked over charcoal or wood chips that has a more distinct 'campfire' taste than food cooked over a gas flame - there is also a ritual surrounding the charcoal barbecuing experience. A gas BBQ, on the other hand, gives an instant and easily controllable heat, although cheaper models can have a less evenly distributed heat over the cooking area requiring moving the food around often for even cooking. Â There is traditionally less cleaning involved after a gas barbecue with no spent coals to dispose of and easy-clean surfaces on the deluxe gas grill models.
There is no right answer to the question "Which is better, a charcoal or a gas barbecue?" - it's purely down to personal choice although much-animated discussion suggests that there will always be differences of opinion. Â Whichever camp you are in, whatever your idea of a "true barbecue", there's an outdoor grill to suit you on sale at Towsure.
