Portable or fixed barbecue? Which one to buy? Here are our advice

With the arrival of the summer, the gardens of the houses, the parks and the specially equipped areas are invaded by an unmistakable perfume, that of grilled meat. How many of you love the interminable chops in the company of your friends? We believe it is one of the most loved rally modalities, at least by lovers of good food.

Obviously to ensure that all this happens, you have to be equipped with a barbecue, through which to cook and grill meat and vegetables. If you already don't own one, the choice will not be easy at all, given the enormous amount of models and types currently on the market. We are talking about an article that has undergone many innovations in recent years and, consequently, many methods of use that can really satisfy the needs of each individual person. Just find the most suitable model for the use we want to do or to the place we want to use it. Below we want to illustrate what are the main aspects, to be taken into consideration when you decide to buy a barbecue.

First of all, it is necessary to distinguish two large categories: portable barbecues and fixed barbecues. Let's see the characteristics in the next paragraphs

Barbecue Portable

This type of barbecue is perfect for lovers of nature and camping. Their light and very versatile design, in fact, allows easy transport even in the most difficult places. In fact, many of these barbecues are predisposed, thanks to special supports to be easily drawn and their very simple design makes them light and comfortable to carry around.

The portable barbecues are generally fed with wood, as the gas power supply would be too uncomfortable to carry on the shoulder during a trekking day. While the wood, when you go in the midst of nature, is kindly offered by the surrounding environment. We recommend that we only collect dry wood and already on the ground, for two reasons: the first is purely ethical, if everyone cuts away from the trees, it would remain little and nothing. Secondly, the fresh wood does not burn, so it would be totally useless to try to turn it on with that.

In conclusion, we can say that portable barbecues are the right alternative for camping lovers and long excursions accompanied by a wonderful grilled steak.

Fixed barbecue

The fixed barbecues are the garden classics, with imposing structures, capable of hosting meat and other foods for large lunches or dinners. The barbecues of this type are of various sizes and shapes, also as regards the materials, you will realize that the choice is very vast. For example, if you had a very large and rustic garden you could choose one in masonry, while if you love modern style, the ideal option is that of a gas barbecue with various types of grid. Also as regards nutrition, there are several options that can really meet all needs.

The more popular ones, in recent years they are the gas, are very simple to light and still manage to maintain the characteristic "grilled on meat" flavor. If, on the other hand, you love the classic wood flavor, there is nothing better than a classic wood barbecue. Of course, to turn it on, especially if it is very large, it will be more difficult, but the unmistakable taste of the wood -cooked meat will certainly be worth the effort.

In conclusion, both types of barbecue are suitable for satisfying differences. When you find yourself making your choice, you will therefore have to evaluate the following aspects:

  • Where you intend to use your barbecue;

  • How much space you will have available once purchased;

  • If you want to take it with you or if, on the contrary, it will become a fixed component of your garden.

Once these considerations are made, surely, you will opt for the barbecue, portable or fixed, which most meets your needs.
