CHARCOAL, GAS OR ELECTRIC?
IT'S A LIFESTYLE CHOICE
Charcoal or gas? This is really your first decision but, whether you're in the charcoal or gas barbecue camp, you're in luck. Taste tests indicate there's no significant flavour difference either way. Therefore, the choice is strictly personal so let us help you make your choice.
Consider these points:
Are you convinced there’s nothing like the taste and smell of food grilled over hot coals? Do you love the sight of glowing coals? Do you need that hands-on, primal experience? Then choose a Weber® Charcoal barbecue to get the original the best experience of fire which appeals to the primeval person in all of us.
Do you take a certain pride in your ability to get the fire started and keep it properly tended while you cook? Do you want a perfect fire at the push of a button? Do you appreciate the precision temperature adjustments gas grills can provide? Do you want to cook all year round? Would you rather avoid the whole charcoal set-up and the post-cookout ashes? Then the right choice for you is a Weber® Gas barbecue.
Consider how you plan to use your grill - will you grill every night or just on special occasions? Will that change over time? Is cost an issue? While gas grills are initially more expensive, they generally cost less to operate in the long run. How much room is there for a barbecue? How many people normally eat with you when you barbecue? Do you want a barbecue for both home and away?
Many people actually choose to have both a gas and a charcoal BBQ as it gives them more options.
