Barbecue FAQs

 

What size barbecue is right for me?

 

We advise customers to measure by the number of burners. With Gas barbecues, a 2-3 burner barbecue is perfect for a family of 4-6 people. While a large 5-6 burner barbecue is perfect for large groups and those who entertain frequently. Charcoal barbecues are usually designed for groups of 4-6 people and can take some time to prepare, although we do offer accessories like rapid-fire chimneys and lighter cubes to help you get started quicker. Gas barbecues are great for those who want to get the grill fired up instantly and start cooking as soon as possible.

 

How do I clean my barbecue?

 

Ideally, you should use a cleaning spray designed for cast iron or stainless steel and a wire brush. We offer many cleaning materials on our website including sprays and wire brushes to help you keep your barbecue in top shape.

 

Do you need a barbecue cover?

 

It is generally recommended that you buy a barbecue cover, even when storing it in a sheltered place like a shed over the winter as mildew and dust can build up over time. A Cover also protects your barbecue from wind damage and UV fade on the paint. A cover is a fantastic way to protect your barbecue all year round.

 

What gas do I need for my barbecue?

 

Many of our barbecues are designed to use propane gas. This is available as “Patio Gas” through many gas suppliers and can be bought at petrol stations and other outlets.

What is the difference between charcoal and gas BBQ?

A charcoal barbecue uses charcoal as its main fuel source. You can also add wood chips for flavouring. Charcoal barbecues are ideal for “Low and Slow” Cooking. A gas barbecue uses propane gas or natural gas as its fuel source and lights up almost instantly. Gas Barbecues also tend to be larger and ideal for people who entertain and use their barbecue frequently. Some people also may prefer the taste of charcoal cooking over gas and vice versa. It is up to you which barbecue you would prefer.
