Who doesn’t love a barbecue? After all, there’s something about cooking outdoors on a warm sunny day that just feels right. Perhaps it taps into our Stone Age ancestry or brings back memories of happy days, chowing down on a crispy-skinned drumstick, a baby-back rib or a perfectly seared steak kebab. Either way, most barbecue sessions stick in the memory... but which should you choose?
Today, we have a huge selection of fancy barbecues at our disposal – from small electric balcony models to outdoor kitchen behemoths capable of feeding the 5,000. However, choosing the right type of barbecue isn’t as cut and dried as it used to be when everything ran on charcoal and we had no choice in the matter. In fact, today we have four completely different barbecue fuels to choose from – charcoal, gas, pellets and electricity – and they all have their pros and cons.
