In most places, charcoal barbecues are prohibited. A gas barbecue offers the perfect solution. How do you choose your ideal camping BBQ? What should you look out for when buying a camping barbecue? There are a few things you can consider in advance when choosing the right appliance:
Your ideal camping barbecue
- How many people will you be barbecuing for? Are you usually cooking for two, or do you regularly cook for two families?
- Variety in cooking: Are you a real cooking enthusiast who loves to surprise fellow campers with a pan of paella, freshly baked pizza and stir-fry dishes? Or are a hamburger and a slice of bacon enough to meet expectations?
- Do you want a model with legs or would you prefer a tabletop model?
- Do you want to be able to cook inside your tent or caravan during a summer downpour, or is outdoor cooking sufficient?
- Number of burners: Do you opt for one-pan meals or do you prefer cooking on 2 burners?
With these questions in mind, you can start looking at the different options.
