Comparing Barbecues
Barbecue-cooked dinners are one of the summer's highlights. Built-in, mobile or portable and charcoal, gas, pellet or electric. There are grills to fit everyone's preferences.
Keep the following requirements and characteristics in mind when looking for a BBQ Adelaide in this summer:
Available Models
Barbecues come in various styles, including charcoal, gas, wood pellet and electric. Have a look:
Charcoal Barbecue
Because of the unique taste, it provides to food, the charcoal barbecue, a true classic, has returned in popularity. A contemporary design, enhanced performance, robust construction, convenient work surfaces and storage, greater ability to add wood and a larger ash catcher and propane lighter are among the characteristics offered by manufacturers. It is lightweight, making it great for camping.
Some variants include an adjustable vent that accelerates combustion the more the vent is opened, similar to heat control. You can keep track of temperatures with the help of an integrated thermometer.
Charcoal pieces are easy to light and heat up rapidly. Briquettes are more difficult to light but last considerably longer, making them excellent for roasting. The height of the grate and the tray below the charcoal briquettes can generally be modified.
Gas Barbecue
There are two kinds of gas barbecues: those that use propane from a refillable tank and those that use natural gas from the household supply. Which one is the most well-known? Propane wins because of its portability and accessibility.
Gas grills are easy to operate; they heat up rapidly and provide accurate temperature control. The flavour of food and marinades is retained. Gas grills can only be used outside. In some places and condo complexes, their usage may be prohibited.
Electric Barbecue
Electric grills are convenient in urban areas and may be used all year. They come in two sizes, one with a big cooking surface and the other with a tiny one. For one or two persons, the tiny size is ideal. On the other hand, electric grills take longer to heat up, slowing down the cooking process.
Smokers
Instead of using heat generated directly from your fuel source, smoker barbecues use smoke for cooking your meat. This results in a "low and slow" cooking effect, particularly tender and delicious food. Smokers' food might take anything from 3 to 12 hours to properly cook.
Wood Pellet Grills
A wood pellet grill uses safe, easy-to-use hardwood pellets to create heat. Pellets in a range of flavours, such as hickory, mesquite, apple or oak, can be used to enhance your cuisine. Pellet grills are multifunctional, allowing you to smoke, braise, barbecue or sear your meal.
Available Structures
Barbecues come in various structures, which are as follows:
Barbecue Structure
Stainless steel, enamelled steel, cast iron or aluminium is used in store-bought grills. The grill's primary body must be sturdy for the lid to close properly. Choose a deep body to let the heat flow evenly, preventing abrupt fires.
Stainless-Steel Structure
Stainless steel is rust-resistant and durable. However, the structure's thickness varies, and international stainless-steel standards determine its durability. Barbecues are rated from 204 to 430, with the higher the grade, the thinner the stainless steel, which translates to lower quality and durability. When buying a barbecue, keep in mind that a lower number indicates a material that will provide appropriate warmth when the grill is in use. Overly thin stainless steel will discolour over time and be more difficult to clean.
Enamelled Steel Structure
Enamelled steel is less expensive. However, it is more prone to temperature changes and less impact resistant. Choose a model with a sturdy frame and castors.
Ignition System
There are two barbecue igniters: push buttons and rotary or electronic controllers. The difference between the two methods is that the push button creates only one spark. In contrast, the rotary and electronic controllers produce many sparks, making it considerably easier to light the grill. Clean the controls thoroughly to eliminate any grease spatters or rust; regular maintenance guarantees that your ignition system works properly.
Storage Shelves and Cabinets
An extra work area is usually beneficial for placing dishes and utensils, and space to keep spices and accessories is quite convenient. Check the shelves of your grill before purchasing it. However, fixed, built-in grills will always have more solid shelves than their mobile and portable counterparts.
With enough lighting, you may use the BBQ later in the evening, after the sun has set. Some grills include an LED light attached to the grill handle that lights when the lid is open and shuts off when it is closed. Compatible with most grill handles, grill lights can also be bought separately.
