Gas BBQ

Gas BBQs

A gas BBQ trades the wait for coals to be ready for near-instant heat at the turn of a knob, and separate burner controls mean part of the grill can be kept on low for slow cooking while another section runs hot for searing at the same time, which a single charcoal bed can't do. Burner count is the main sizing decision: 2-burner models suit a smaller garden or occasional use and pack away or store more easily, while 3 and 4-burner models give more grilling area for entertaining a group. Side shelves add prep space next to the grill rather than needing a separate table, integrated ignition lights the burners without a match, and wheels let a larger model be moved without lifting it.

Sahara supplies the X150 2 burner, Arke and Performer 3 burner, Supreme S350 3 burner and the X450-S and Performer 4 burner models. Outback covers the Omega 200 2 burner and the Jupiter 4 burner. For electric alternatives see Electric BBQs.
