Whether you want to barbecue steak, chicken or fish, there's a barbecue on the market that's suitable for you.
The barbecue is an important part of your summer social life. Whether you're entertaining friends or simply enjoying a hot summers day with your family.
There is such a wide choice of barbecue models out there, from the small, disposable charcoal in tin foil type to the top of the range "Summit Weber barbecue". When making your choice, remember that whatever barbecue you decide to go for may dictate the quality of your cooking results.
A bit of advice, only consider getting, say, a small 12 inch square griddle, if there is absolutely no chance that you will have to cook for a large party of hungry diners. If you think there may be a chance then don't go for small!
Here are some important factors for you to consider before making your choice of barbecue.
1. What is your budget?
2. How many people will you be typically catering for?
3. How much room do you have in you garden for cooking?
4. Will you be able to store your barbecue away in the winter?
Find the answers to these questions and you will be in a good position to decide what type of barbecue to go for.
If you are likely to be using it rarely and for few people then a disposable charcoal in a foil tray type may be just what you need. These are perfect for picnics, small get-togethers and cooking in small spaces. However, as I said before, if you are likely to be cooking on a more regular basis and for a lot of hungry diners then you need to think on a larger scale.
The choice is so wide that it's important to think of the fundamentals when deciding.
Is the cooking area on the barbecue large enough to hold all of the food you are likely to want to cook? Also bare in mind that you need room around your proposed outdoor space to store your marinades, sauces, drinks, crockery, accessories raw food and last but not least your hungry diners.
Do you have a shed or garage to store your barbecue in the winter? If so, is there enough space within? Does the barbecue seem sturdy enough to handle outdoor storage? Is it protected with corrosion resistant paint? You may want to consider investing in a cover for added protection. How easy is the barbecue to clean and maintain?
Whichever model you decide to choose, I'm sure that you will have endless hours of fun with your friends and family on those long hot summer days and evenings.
