What are the different types of BBQ?

As a country we are famous the world over for our barbecues. We probably throw the highest number of barbeque's per capital  That’s not all, but we also have some really great products to make those barbecues memorable. Here are the different types of BBQs we have in store.

 
  • BBQs by Fuel Type

The type of fuel that powers your BBQ will determine the taste and flavour of your food. There are three major fuel types available that can power BBQs. These are gas, charcoal, and electricity.

* Gas

Gas BBQs are great in that they allow you to cook, braai, and or roast your food in a quick manner. Gas is also an affordable fuel option, enabling you to keep costs low with this gas burner.

* Charcoal

For that authentic smoke flavour in your food, nothing beats a charcoal BBQ. It might mean you getting up in the middle of the night to adjust the temperature and add more charcoal but you’ll be glad you made all that effort when it’s time to eat.

* Electric

If you’re for a BBQ that prepares meals in an automated manner, then look no further than electric BBQs. Many electric barbecues now come equipped with several other features which enable you to multi-cook.

CROSSRAY Infrared 2 Burners Trolley Unit

CROSSRAY Infrared 2 Burners Trolley Unit - Gas BBQ

The patented CROSSRAY+ system uses infrared burners mounted at the sides of the barbeque, angled up at the cooking surface.  Because the burners are infrared, they have superior performance to traditional open flame burners.  Infrared heat penetrates your food, keeping it moist and fresh, whereas an open flame just heats the air around it – ultimately drying out your food.

MASTERBUILT Sportsman Elite 30" Digital Electric Smoker - American Style BBQ

MASTERBUILT Sportsman Elite 30" Digital Electric Smoker - American Style BBQ.

The 30" stands tall with even more internal space than the previous model due to its new design. It’s easy to clean as the brackets holding the shelves in place are easily removed, and you can see the digital display clearly both day and night due to the bright blue LEDs that are mounted on the front of the top of the smoker, along with the front mounted digital controller. The bright LEDs light up the whole area around the smoker as well as the inside so you can check your progress at night. 

  • BBQs by design

Space and functionality are very important determinants when you’re considering purchasing a BBQ. For this reason, there exist a variety of BBQs by design. Two examples of such BBQs are those that are in-built and those that are portable.

* In-built

If you have ample outdoor space, an in-built BBQ might be a favourable option. There are several models in store for you to choose from, starting from two burner units all the way up to six burner units.

* Portable

If you’re looking for a BBQ that you can easily pack and carry to the beach or take camping, then you should consider the portable models. Varieties exist in store, with different budgets to suit different needs.
