BEST BBQ’s 2018

Landmann Smoker Charcoal 31426 BBQ

Weber Pulse 1000 BBQ
(Best electric BBQ)

This little electric tech BBQ was released this year. It’s an effortlessness grill, perfect for BBQ beginners.
In fact, it’s so cool you don’t even have to stand with the food whilst it cooks… Connect it to your phone and the iGrill thermometer will let you know when your meats are ready.
Get in!

Char-Broil Big Easy Smoker BBQ
(Best gas smoker)

This beast of a BBQ can roast, smoke or grill for six people.

It cooks fast and is skillfully designed to lock the juices into your food so you needn’t stress about your meats drying out… Shame the grill wasn’t a tad bigger though.
For the authentic BBQ chef, there’s a removable chamber which you can fill with a variety of wood chips to achieve different smokey tastes.

Sidenote: If budget isn’t an issue, and you want something slightly bigger, you might want to check out the Big Green Egg (below).

Outback Omega 200 BBQ
(Best charcoal barbecue under £150)

It’s practical, with handy workspaces on either side of the grill and some storage underneath. We think it only made the list this year because it looks cool. Personally, I think the grill is too small for the amount of room it takes up.

Key specs: Fuel type: Charcoal; Cooking area: 50 x 36 cm; Dimensions (HWD): 120 x 66 x 102cm; Weight: 30g


NAPOLEON RODEO PROFESSIONAL BBQ

It’s a heavyweight cast iron grill which has super handy, adjustable grills, a lid-mounted thermometer and is consider by a dozer BBQ chefs as one of the best grill they’ve ever used.

Few grills on the market rival this badboy!

Key specs: Grill size: 22 inches. Type: CharcoalSize: Large, Adjustable height grill, hinged lid, great build quality

 

If you’re in search of the best portable BBQ, we heartily recommend Everdure by Heston Blumenthal Cube for charcoal and Weber Q W1200 for gas.

Update: According to T3.com

WEBER SMOKEFIRE EX4 is the best barbecue grill:
Stylish, exceedingly well built pellet grill that sears, smokes AND slow roasts

Reasons to buy.
+It sears, roasts, bakes and grills
+Reliable, fuss free cooking method
+Exceptional build quality
+Good looker

Here’s what they say.

Many barbecue aficionados swear by pellet grilling because it infuses food with a truly authentic wood smoke flavour that is difficult to attain using charcoal, let alone gas. It is also arguably the easiest type of barbecuing because it’s all controlled by a computer leaving you, the host, to chill out and relax safe in the knowledge that the food will be cooked to perfection with almost zero intervention.
