Refresh your BBQ

Whether you’re looking to upgrade your humble backyard barbie or you fancy yourself a BBQ pitmaster, here’s our guide to get the perfect grill.

Get Grilling

There is nothing quite like the joys of firing up the barbeque and entertaining family and friends at home. As spring approaches, now is the perfect time to upgrade your barbeque and score some sizzling deals.

Here are our top tips when buying a new BBQ.

Serving Size

When considering a new BBQ purchase, have a think about how many people you will usually be cooking for. A two burner BBQ would be suitable for a family of 4 – 6 people, however those who love to entertain frequently may be better off with a five or six burner BBQ.  Also, a big BBQ is a fantastic conversation piece. (Let those neighbours know who’s boss).

Portability

Not all Aussie BBQ’s take place at home which is why it’s important to plan for future outback camping cookouts. If you are the type to travel regularly then maybe a portable BBQ is for you. Portable BBQs are also fantastic for smaller homes and balconies.
On the flip side if you only plan to entertain at home a built-in BBQ is ideal and can even be plumbed directly into your gas lines.

Accessories

Some BBQ culinary experts prefer to be the MacGyver at every family gathering, getting by with just the simplest tools such as a single pair of tongs, while others may want to be the proverbial “Inspector Gadget” with all the fancy tools & matching accessories they can get their hands on. When buying your BBQ consider the accessories available and what you feel you will need. For instance, what cover would you like? Would you like a new matching apron? Or if you are cooking over hot coals, do you need some grilling mitts?

Fuel

One of the biggest decisions you will need to make is what fuel will power your next BBQ. Gas is popular option as they provide a quick cook and are affordable to run. There are many electric options on the market that are automated and offer multiple cooking options. But, if you’re a true pitmaster who doesn’t mind giving the grill the time and attention it needs, then a charcoal BBQ will give you an authentic smoky cook.
