Whether you choose to use gas or charcoal, they both should give you the same results as long as you cook with a lid down. Gas grilling can be more convenient as you just use an ignition switch, and away you go. Whereas charcoal BBQs – like a Kamado grill – may give you a smokier flavour. Or maybe you're looking for that perfect outdoor pizza oven? You can find these and more in our pick of the best BBQ deals currently available.

What is the best BBQ fuel to use?
Charcoals and lump charcoals – Perhaps the most well-known type of BBQ fuel, charcoal takes the longest to cook food with on a stylish charcoal BBQ. However, once heated charcoal is the easiest to cook with and the most versatile when it comes to the type of food you wish to cook with. Lump charcoal comes in larger forms and looks most like its original form, it is the best for achieving a smoked flavour.
Briquettes – These are compressed blocks of wood by-products like coal dust or wood, along with cleaner-burning ingredients. They are cheaper than coal and as they are uniform in shape when lit. They provide a consistent and controllable level of heat, longer than lump charcoal.
Wood - For the advanced fire cooker, using wood on a BBQ can add another level of smoky flavour to your meat due to the choices available. Match your wood to your meat and you’ll have your guests talking for weeks to come. Sweet chestnut, silver birch, applewood and English oak are all solid options. You’ll need to support the BBQ with coal still but make sure your wood is dry and cooked down to embers before you start cooking your food, otherwise, it will taste quite literally like a fire.
Butane/Propane gas – This is a natural highly flammable hydrocarbon gas available in canisters that fit in your gas BBQ. Propane stores all year round, so if you don’t use your whole canister during BBQ season it will be usable when the next season arrives. Gas is a great option for beginners because you don’t have to wait around for coals to heat, once lit the heat is instant. Make sure to follow the manufacturer’s instructions when connecting any tank.
