The food you typically barbecue affects the type and features that suit you best.
Sausages and burgers for your family. There’s nothing wrong with preferring simple classics, and a gas barbecue can do an excellent job of grilling juicy burgers. If you know this is your BBQ style, there’s no point opting for a high-end barbecue. Look for a well-designed barbecue that offers basic features and is easy to clean.
Barbecue nerd with well-marbled cuts of meat. If you want to impress your guests with perfectly grilled Wagyu steaks, you’ll need to look for a barbecue with more sophisticated features. The most important aspects for you are that the barbecue offers good temperature control and grills evenly. It can also be interesting to check out additional features, such as rotisseries and warming racks. But don't be so dazzled by these exclusive features that you neglect the basics, such as build quality.
