The season for alfresco dining is with us, and being able to entertain guests in our gardens means it’s time to get the BBQ out and grill up a feast.

As suppliers of gas for BBQs in North London, we are, of course, fans of gas-fired grills over charcoal versions. While you may need to research which gas grill is best for your needs, we wanted to have a look at why they’re a better choice than charcoal BBQ grills.

 

Convenience

The immediate advantage of a gas BBQ is the speed at which it can be lit and pre-heated, as well as the ability to easily control the temperature, and some will allow for different grilling temperature zones too, allowing for a precise and predictable way of cooking.

 

Ease of cleaning

Not having to clean out the ash and debris from charcoal is a definite advantage. Cleaning a gas BBQ is quick and easy, simply clean the cooking grates with a grill brush and wipe down the exterior of the grill with a cloth and a mild soap solution.

 

Made to Last

Gas BBQs might be a larger initial investment than charcoal, the running costs are far lower, and they will outlast charcoal grills if properly looked after, and will be with you for many years to come.

 

Perfectly Barbecued Food

Having extra control over the temperature and not having to keep a constant eye on the hot coals means that you can cook your food with the same precision as you would in your own kitchen. You can even use smoke boxes to get that added flavour to your food if you feel you miss that particular element of a charcoal BBQ.
