The perfect barbecue: how to choose it

Choosing the right barbecue model must start with your own needs, both in terms of cooking and of the space available — it is not just a matter of taste, but also of space! And of course, maintenance is also an important factor in choosing the ideal barbecue. Let’s look together at the main features.

Wood-fired barbecue, gas barbecue: which option to choose and why?

Gas barbecues
Gas barbecues can be considered a middle ground between electric barbecues and wood-fired barbecues. Without a doubt, if you are looking for ease of use, a gas barbecue is the right choice: this tool will allow us to prepare our grills with peace of mind, without worrying about generating smoke or odours. This is very important especially when you have more limited spaces at your disposal, or in places where smoke and smell might disturb the neighbours. The main advantages of a gas barbecue are:
  • ease of use: with this type of barbecue it will feel like cooking on the stove; moreover, the heat emitted remains always constant, which makes cooking simpler;
  • ease of cleaning: cleaning the gas grill is really simple and not very demanding;
  • no smoke or odours: the only smell released will be that of the food cooking! Indeed, thanks to the gas system, you can say goodbye to the problem of smoke and odours; you can also grill on your balcony without bothering your neighbours.
Wood-fired barbecues
For flame lovers, those who adore the ritual of lighting the fire and preparing the embers, there’s no doing without a traditional wood-fired barbecue. Among the main advantages of this tool we certainly have:
  • a more pronounced flavour of the dishes: the aroma imparted by wood-fired cooking is truly a step above;
  • greater versatility: wood-fired barbecues allow you to cook a wider variety of foods;
  • temperature control: a wood-fired barbecue lets you cook food evenly without too much difficulty.
Now all you have to do is choose your ideal barbecue, browsing through the whole Fontana Forni range, and finally heating up the grills!
