Weber has celebrated perfect BBQs since 1952 with their expert know-how, unique range of products and enthusiasm for all things ‘Weber’. No other BBQ manufacturer can boast such a wealth of experience and knowledge. In the same way we invented the kettle barbecue in Chicago from a simple marine buoy, we continue to develop the whole world of barbecuing bit by bit every day.
GAS VS CHARCOAL? Weber has an answer to every craving!
Barbecuing is more than what sears on the grate. Whether you’re a self-proclaimed BBQ master, first time barbecue, or making the transition from charcoal to gas, we’ve got you covered. Choose from our array of charcoal, gas and electric barbecues.
Why you should choose Charcoal …
Versatility is key, with the consistent radiant heat helping you along the way. You can sear really hot and fast (quicker than gas), slow-cook large cuts (briskets, ribs etc) indirectly and place produce directly into the hot coals, though we’d recommend wrapping in foil.
Indirect grilling, which is cooking slowly with the heat source to the side of the produce (the key to smoking), is also more viable thanks to the radiant heat. The simplicity and space of the grill will allow you to play with wood smoke, choosing whole pieces of hardwood, or chunks, as well as the more conventional chips.
… & why you should choose Gas!
Ease-of-use and speed is the name of the game here, as you’ll be able to get cooking in under 10 minutes (depending on which gas barbecue you choose).
The accuracy of a good gas grill will allow you to set temperatures with precision, allowing better overall control.
The heat is very direct and consistent, usually coming from 2-3 set of burners, allowing you to sear with ease, which is perfect for barbecue staples.
The speed and instant adaptability are great for summer midweek cooking, as well as churning out the goods for larger groups.
