Summertime means grilling season, and what better way to enjoy it than firing up your BillyOh BBQ? If you haven’t found the perfect barbecue for your outdoor cookouts yet, this BBQ guide will help you do just that! Here, we’ll focus on your budget and what you intend to use the grill for.
What’s Your Budget?
How much are you willing to spend on a new BBQ? Set a budget range so you have more options without feeling restricted. This gives you flexibility, whether you’re working with a small or large sum to invest. That way, you won’t overspend on something you won’t use and end up feeling regret.
For a low budget range of less than £100, charcoal BBQs are your best bet. These grills start at a low price and use cheap fuel, such as coals, that last for about two uses before replacement. They come in various sizes, so you have plenty of choices even within a lower budget.
Some available charcoal grills are 3-in-1 at a better price, giving you more value. Take this firepit BBQ, for instance. It’s designed with a central fire pit section that you can change out for an ice bucket cooler or grill. There’s even a height-adjustable rack for spit-roasting.
With a medium budget, say £100 to £300, you can get a gas BBQ with at least 2 to 4 burners. These grills can have warming racks, side tables, and built-in thermometers as standards. The BillyOh Matrix 4 Burner Gas BBQ meets all these requirements and might be the one you’re looking for!
A higher budget of £300 and above lets you buy nearly any BBQ you desire. This includes hybrid grills that offer the best of both charcoal and gas grilling. The BillyOh Montana, for one, features a dual fuel with three gas burners on one side and a coal on the other. Or, you can go the extra mile with the BillyOh Alabama with 4 Burner Gas BBQ with Sink!
Note: This is a general BBQ guide for BillyOh’s budget range. You can find options that make your investment worthwhile, no matter your budget.
What Are You Going to Use the BBQ For?
If you only host for a small group of people, a standard BBQ will do the job. Most grills of this size are often on the budget-friendly side. If you’re thinking of charcoal, consider this classic BillyOh Barrel model. Its assembled dimensions are 79cm x 124cm x 48.5cm. It has a large cooking area with an extra table on the side.
Perhaps you want a small, portable gas model, like this BillyOh Table Top Portable Gas BBQ. It’s perfect for camping, picnics in the park, or small home barbecues with your loved ones.
Cooking for a big event means you are in for the long haul. You’ll need a BBQ that can keep up with a constant demand for food and cleaning. The more cooking zones, the better! Plus, it’s an advantage to have extra features like separate smoking compartments, hotplates, and storage. The BillyOh Indiana is a fitting example. It has four burners, a side burner, a warming tray, storage racks, cabinets and hooks, and a full kitchen unit with a sink and tap – all on portable castor wheels!
Maybe a smoker BBQ is for you if you want to take your food to the next level, but don’t mind the long wait. Check out our guide, ‘What Is a BBQ Smoker?’ to learn more.
What if you plan to use the grill for other dishes, like pizza? In that case, pizza ovens are worth considering! They can either sit on top of a BBQ to redirect heat from the embers or have their own fuel source, typically charcoal or gas. The best part is that you can cook more than just pizza in these ovens. This guide, ‘What Else Can You Cook in a Pizza Oven,’ has a list of foods and recipes you can try!
