Best Buy BBQ’S For Season 2024 at The BBQ Centre OutdoorLiving.ie

Eoin Kennelly, BBQ expert at the OutdoorLiving.ie BBQ centre tells us all there is to know about the best barbecues to buy for the upcoming summer BBQ season. From a basic charcoal BBQ to a top-notch outdoor kitchen with all the trimmings, there’s nothing better than the taste of barbecued food. It brings cooking back to its very basics. Basic food grilled to perfection. There’s nothing like it.  

According to Eoin, using a barbecue is not just about fast cooking over a high heat. Although it involves cooking food over a naked flame, you can slow-cook, smoke, braise and even steam with a barbecue. Whether you’re a BBQ novice or a seasoned enthusiast, once you have the right tools and the know-how, there’s no stopping you. 

We definitely have the right tools to guide you at the OutdoorLiving.ie BBQ centre. We’ve selected just a few from a vast range in our store and on our website to bring out the inner pitmaster in you. 

The most important consideration when choosing the right barbecue is whether it meets all your needs. How big is your family? Do you entertain regularly? What size is your garden or patio area? Three to four burner BBQs need large cooking areas but are ideal for big gardens and even bigger gatherings. On the other end of the scale, portable and tabletop barbecues will work better on small patios or terraces and are better suited for easy-to-grill dishes like sausages or burgers. We’ve selected a handful of the best for you to check out.
