What will you want to cook on your BBQ?
Sausages and burgers are easy to cook on any standard grill. But there’s a lot more to barbecuing than just grilling – some models can fry, sauté, boil, bake and roast a whole range of food.
Roasting
It’s possible to roast whole joints of meat on some gas and charcoal barbecues. If you like the idea of roasting food you’ll need to choose a model that has a tight-fitting hood.
Griddle or hot plate
Increasing numbers of gas barbecues have a griddle or hot plate as well as a standard grill. This feature is great for searing steaks and frying lean cuts of meat, steak or vegetables. You can even use it to fry eggs.
Side burner
Some gas barbecues come with a side burner instead of a side storage shelf. This can be useful if you like to boil or steam vegetables or heat up barbecue sauces.
The more cooking features a barbecue has the more expensive it’s likely to be. Read our guide on barbecue features to look out for, or use our compare barbecue prices tool to find options that fit your budget.
