Choosing and maintaining a barbecue

Although we can find several types of barbecues, electric, gas and charcoal are the most recognized. The gas barbecue is quite reliable. It is quick to turn on, shortening the cooking time, as well as being perfect when we usually have many guests. Despite not generating so much smoke, it manages to give our food a touch of smoke. The plates are another of the variants to make our barbecues. These do not give off as much smoke, we can use them in almost any space, and they are very easy to clean. In addition, they give a very uniform heat allowing food to cook better.

The electric barbecue shares many of the advantages of the gas one, since it is quick to turn on, it does not generate as much smoke and, in addition, it usually has a lid that allows it to function as an oven. Due to its size, it is usually ideal for small spaces, in addition to being safe and easy to use. On the other hand, the charcoal barbecue is usually the favorite and, therefore, the most requested, since it is very practical. It generally has built-in wheels, which allow us to move it and place it wherever we want, so it can be adapted to any space.

Whatever barbecue you choose for your home, their maintenance is an important aspect that we should not neglect, as it allows us to extend their useful life. Some Pool advice: the place where we store it during the time we are not using it must be dry and protected from humidity and cold, or covered with a protective cover. If not, then the first thing before using it would be to carry out an exhaustive review of it, checking if they have been affected by rust caused by humidity, or if any of its components need to be adjusted or changed.

Both the utensils we use for cooking and those we use to clean our barbecue must be in good condition, something that we must also check before using it again. Lighting our barbecue is a vital part of its maintenance, as it allows us to heat the barbecue and check that it works without problems. Last but not least is rust removal, which for the vast majority of users represents the heaviest task. For this, it is essential to have a fine metal sandpaper with which we will go over the grid, and then put an anti-heat paint on it. Obviously, each type of barbecue has specificities when it comes to maintenance.

Among the drawbacks of the electric barbecue we find its size, which being smaller than the rest, limits the number of people with whom it can be used; needing an electrical outlet cannot be used everywhere. In the case of the gas barbecue, it is usually the most expensive, and in addition to moving the barbecue, you have to move the gas cylinder, so they are not comfortable to take out of the house. In the case of the charcoal barbecue, you have against the cooking time, which is longer. It is very annoying to clean it, you have to know how to control the fire so that the meat does not burn, and to use it you have to take into account the weather.
