Barbecues

Wood, charcoal and gas barbecues turn any garden, terrace or catering business into a grill: dismountable barbecues for wood or charcoal, ideal for gardens and terraces, American barrel-style barbecues, gas barbecues with lava rock, professional Basque grills and tabletop barbecues, from brands such as Char-Griller, Char-Broil, Flores Cortés, Arilex and Pujadas, plus covers and wood chips for smoking.

Types of barbecue

Wood and charcoal barbecues

These deliver the traditional flavour of cooking over the coals. The Char-Griller Wrangler is the No.1 American barrel-style barbecue in the USA: a 50x51 cm grill split into 3 pieces, a footprint of around 90x74 cm, 127 cm tall and 39 kg, with a folding front shelf. The Char-Broil Performance 2600, also charcoal, has an external crank to adjust the grill height and a side vent that regulates air flow, with a removable fire tray for easy cleaning.

Flores Cortés dismountable and adjustable barbecues

Made from highly durable iron, they work equally well with wood or charcoal. The dismountable iron barbecue assembles and dismantles so you can take it to the countryside or store it out of season, and its grill cleans up with a simple metal scourer. The height-adjustable Eco 600 uses a chain system to raise and lower the grill and precisely control the cooking temperature for each food.

Gas barbecues with lava rock and Basque grills

For catering and for anyone who wants coals without the wait, the Arilex Línea 600 gas barbecue combines gas burners with lava rock and a ribbed stainless steel grill adjustable to 3 heights; it's made in Spain in 4 usable widths: 40, 70, 100 and 130 cm. The Línea 600 gas Basque grill adds a rear guard and the same ribbed grill at 3 heights. As a spare, the 3 kg bag of lava rock, natural, non-combustible and heat-resistant, keeps the range performing.

Tabletop barbecues

The Pujadas GrillBox (370x260x150 mm, stainless steel) is a 4-in-1 tabletop barbecue that lets each diner finish their dish just how they like it: grilled, on the stone, on the llauna or on skewers. Light and compact, it can be carried anywhere and is perfect for restaurants and terrace tables.

Covers, wood chips and accessories

Protect your barbecue outdoors with the Char-Griller and Char-Broil covers, and give meat and fish a smoky touch with the wood chips for smoking. You'll find more grilling tools in barbecue tools and accessories and in smokers and aromatisers.

How to choose your barbecue

If you want the classic flavour of the coals and don't mind waiting for it to light, choose wood or charcoal; the height-adjustable models (by chain or crank) give you more control over how your meat is cooked. If you need speed and continuous service —terraces, grill houses, catering—, the gas barbecue with lava rock reaches temperature in minutes and holds a constant heat. For small gatherings or cooking at the table, a stainless steel tabletop barbecue is the most versatile option. And if space is tight, dismountable barbecues store away easily out of season.

Frequently asked questions about barbecues

Which is better, a charcoal barbecue or a gas one with lava rock?

The charcoal or wood one gives the traditional smoky flavour, but takes longer to be ready. The gas one with lava rock reaches temperature in a few minutes, holds a constant heat and is the usual choice in catering for its continuous service; the lava rock spreads the heat and catches the juices, adding a chargrilled aroma.

What is the advantage of a height-adjustable barbecue?

It lets you move the grill closer to or further from the coals to control the cooking temperature for each food: closer to sear over high heat, further away for slow cooking. It's adjusted with a chain system, like the Flores Cortés Eco 600, or with an external crank, like the Char-Broil Performance 2600.

Can I use wood and charcoal in the same barbecue?

Yes, as long as the structure is built for high temperatures. The Flores Cortés iron barbecues and the Char-Griller Wrangler work equally well with wood or charcoal to prepare the coals for meat, fish, seafood, cured meats and vegetables.

What is a Basque grill?

It's a professional grill-house grill with a ribbed, sloping grate that channels the juices, adjustable to several heights and with a rear guard that shelters it from the wind and reflects the heat. The gas version with lava rock, like the Arilex Línea 600, reproduces the coals of a traditional grill house with instant ignition.

How do I protect my barbecue if it's outdoors?

Use a waterproof cover in the right size —there are specific covers from Char-Griller and Char-Broil— and clean the grill after each use. If the barbecue is dismountable, like the Flores Cortés models, you can take it apart and store it under cover out of season to extend its life.
