Most people associate BBQs with summer and hot weather, but they aren’t just for summer! There are actually several BBQs on the market right now that can cook food to perfection no matter what time of year it is. That being said, picking out the right one can be difficult when there are so many options available, which is why we’ve compiled 5 tips that will help you find the best BBQ.
1) Set A Budget
One of the most important steps in buying a barbecue is establishing a budget. As there are several different types of barbecue on offer, with different price points and features to consider, it’s important that you set yourself an appropriate limit in order to avoid overspending.
2) Check Reviews
Before spending your hard-earned cash on a barbecue, check online reviews. You’ll get a sense of what people think about a specific model and whether it lives up to its sales pitch. In addition, you can learn how much weight different consumers give to certain features—and decide if they’re important enough for you. For example, some grills have built-in thermometers that allow you to monitor food temperature without opening the lid; others have side tables with cutting boards so you can prep while food cooks. Is one feature more important than another? That depends on your needs and preferences.
3) Compare Brands
If you’re going to buy a new smoker, make sure you know what you’re looking for. Do your research! Compare brands and price points. There are tons of different brands, so once you’ve figured out what kind of smoker is best for your needs, you can narrow it down by brand name. Many top-of-the-range models can cost over £2000, but most smokers fall into the £300-£700 range. Some gas smokers might even be under £200.
4) Compare Special Features
When it comes to barbecues, nothing is more important than choosing one with a feature that makes your life easier. For example, do you travel often? If so, consider investing in a portable barbecue. And if you’re someone who likes to entertain guests on a regular basis, make sure you get something big enough to hold all of your food—especially during those big summer block parties! However, if grilling small items is more up your alley, an indoor grill might be best.
5) Check Size and Weight
While it’s true that bigger isn’t always better, you do want to be sure you have enough room to store your grill once it’s not in use. You don’t want to have to tip it on its side each time you need to move it, but you also don’t want a grill so large that moving and storing become major issues.
Conclusion
When buying a BBQ, you want to make sure you get your money’s worth. Whether it’s gas or charcoal, propane or wood, find out what works best for you and spend your hard-earned cash wisely.
