With the weather taking a turn for the better, paired with the opportunity to see family and friends again outside, it’s fair to say barbeque season is finally upon us.

It’s little surprise that, with the UK taking to the outdoors to socialise for the foreseeable future, few stores have discounted their BBQs at the moment. We’ve scoured the retailers and found the best sales on BBQs currently on.

Before the products, a quick word on the different types of BBQs. The three main barbeques use charcoal, gas, or compressed wood pellets as fuel. Each fuel source has its own benefits and disadvantages.

Charcoal is cheap, plentiful, and imbues food with a distinct, smoky, ‘BBQ’ flavour. The drawback is that it takes at least 40 minutes to get to the requisite temperature to cook food evenly (put a sausage on a charcoal grill too early and it’ll burn to a crisp in the intense heat).

By contrast, gas barbecues are swift - taking about 15 minutes to reach the correct heat. They’re easy to fire up, too. Purists say gas BBQ doesn’t taste authentic, they’re more costly, and they require more set-up when first purchase.

A happy half-way house is a pellet-fuelled barbie. Compressed wood pellets will instil food with a gorgeous, woody, BBQ flavour. A computer processor helps regulate the temperature, too, so it’s difficult to over-cook your food. They do, however, require an electrical socket to run, so be fair-warned.

Whichever fuel-source you opt for, remember to take adequate care of your BBQ in order to extend it’s longevity. Simply by cleaning it thoroughly after every use, storing it away from the elements or putting a cover over it when you’re not using it, you’ll make sure it lasts years, not a single season.
