But which is the best choice for you? Below, we have created a simple buying guide emphasising the main features to look for when selecting these products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Fuel Type<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>BBQs often have different fuel types and\/or connections. The most common one uses charcoal: here, you simply add chunks of the fuel underneath the grill and light it. The blocks burn steadily and keep a fire blazing which you cook on. These models can take a little longer to set up but don\u2019t require anything additional like a gas connection or canister.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Alternatively, you can find gas-fueled BBQs. These have a pipe connection that must fit into a gas source &#8211; usually something like a Calor bottle. This method is easier to use but does require more effort in sourcing the fuel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Size<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Next, we advise looking at the size. This depends on where and how you intend to use the BBQ. For example, you may want a portable item to take on holiday in your car. If so, a foldable product would be better suited.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Alternatively, you could require a large, fixed model for gatherings and parties in your garden. If so, the size may not be as important as cooking capacity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Cooking Capacity<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Typically you cook food on a BBQ grill. The size of this item dictates how much food you can blaze at once and thus the product\u2019s suitability for different families etc.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A small grill could be adequate if you only intend to use the BBQ for yourself. However, if you want to throw parties and organise summer gatherings with multiple people, you may benefit from a unit with numerous trays or a larger overall cooking area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Usability<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Lastly, how easy is the BBQ to use? There are many nuances, including the grill cover, accessibility of the heat controls, and accessories for food handling.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Does it come with a lid to keep the warmth in and cook more effectively? Are there any BBQ tongs included so you can easily pick up the meat? Does it have a drip tray to catch any cooking fat and grease? Look at the model\u2019s design and features and decide if you think you would be comfortable using it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Summary<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Our editor\u2019s choice is the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.co.uk\/CosmoGrillTM-Outdoor-Barbecue-Charcoal-Portable\/dp\/B0749Q79YL\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"CosmoGrill Outdoor XL BBQ (opens in a new tab)\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" class=\"ek-link\">CosmoGrill Outdoor XL BBQ<\/a>. This model has an ergonomic size that is large enough to serve food for parties but small enough to store away. The folding side trays and wheels aid this. Cooking is made easy by the generous grilling area, which can accommodate up to 10 burgers at a time. For more control, we also like that it has an adjustable chimney and vent, plus a thermometer so you can check the BBQ temperature.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Our editors independently research the best products online to produce this list.
