Ready for a BBQ in the UAE? Here’s a guide to picking the right one

Finally, it’s the perfect weather in the UAE to start planning weekend barbecues. But before sending out the invite come actually investing the best option to suit your BBQ-ing needs.

The first step to choosing which barbecue is right for you is deciding whether you want to use charcoal or gas as a fuel source. Gas barbecues are convenient: they’re easy to start and the temperature can be accurately controlled for a long period of time, plus they’re easy to clean.

Many barbecue purists argue that cooking with charcoal gives food a unique, smoky flavour. Whichever you go for, consider how many people you will regularly be catering for, your budget, lifestyle, what size and type of barbie suits your space and be realistic about how often the barbecue will be used and what styles of food you will be cooking.
