Summer is just around the corner and many people will be looking forward to enjoying a BBQ in their back garden or on a caravan site but one question always raises its head: charcoal or gas?
Research from experts Weber revealed that charcoal is the most popular forms of cooking with 65 per cent of respondents to the survey agreeing. Only 34 per cent preferred gas while a meagre one per cent plumped for electric.
While taste is the main factor for any BBQ lover, Clare Edwards, manager, chef and head tutor at the Weber Grill Academy, believes it goes much deeper than this.
Ms Edwards said: “It’s [using charcoal] a good introduction to BBQ cooking as most charcoal barbecues start at a lower price point and all you need is a bag of briquettes and a light, then you’re all set to cook up a feast.”
However, she added that using gas gives people more control over their cooking as the heat can be altered at the touch of a button.
BBQs are a favourite for campers and caravanners and with the warmer weather just a matter of months away there is no better time to fire up the grill.
