BBQs are fast becoming an essential feature in gardens and patios, offering both convenience and outdoor entertainment.
As more people look to enhance their outdoor spaces, BBQs provide the perfect solution for relaxed dining and social gatherings. At Posh, we offer a variety of BBQs to suit every need, including gas, charcoal, and smoker options in various styles and designs.
Whether you're after a compact, portable model or a larger grill for family get-togethers, this outdoor BBQs buying guide will help you find the perfect BBQ for your needs.
Our BBQs are built using high-quality, durable materials, including rust-resistant stainless steel and robust cast iron.
Each BBQ, complete with a sturdy grill rack, is designed to withstand the elements and comes with comprehensive warranty options. For added convenience, they are easy to maintain with any oven cleaner, ensuring years of reliability.
We offer a wide range of BBQs to suit different lifestyles and garden sizes. Whether you prefer gas, charcoal, electric, or pellet options, there’s a model to meet your needs—from portable BBQs for small patios to larger grills for family get-togethers.
Our BBQs come with advanced features like smart technology for remote temperature control and precision design elements such as infrared burners. These innovations make it easier to achieve professional-quality grilling in your garden.
For those conscious of the environment, we offer energy-efficient BBQs that reduce carbon emissions while maintaining excellent performance. These models use less fuel, helping you enjoy outdoor cooking while minimising your environmental impact.
Gas barbecues are perfect for those seeking convenience, offering fast ignition and easy temperature control with multiple gas burners for versatile cooking. Bigger gas barbecues provide even more cooking space, making it ideal for larger gatherings.
While they require propane refills or a natural gas connection and have a higher initial cost, all our gas barbecues provide a simple and efficient grilling experience. Best suited to frequent grillers and beginners alike, a gas barbecue is easy to use and reliable.
Charcoal barbecues are favoured for the rich, smoky flavour they produce, using lump charcoal, briquettes, or hardwood briquettes. They offer high heat for searing but take longer to set up and clean, with more ash production and less precise heat control.
Charcoal BBQs are best for traditionalists who value flavour above convenience. Kettle Grills are great for small spaces, while Barrel and Ceramic Grills offer larger cooking areas and better heat retention.
Pellet BBQs provide a great balance of flavour and convenience, with automated temperature control for precise cooking.
However, they require regular pellet refills and are more expensive than gas or charcoal options. They’re ideal for grillers who want the smoky taste of charcoal with the ease of gas.
Kamado BBQs offer excellent heat retention due to their ceramic construction, making them versatile for both high-heat grilling and slow smoking. However, they’re heavy and less portable, with a higher price tag.
Kamado BBQs are best for experienced grillers looking for long-lasting, high-performance equipment.
Electric barbecues are a practical option for those without access to traditional fuel types. They’re ideal for small spaces or indoor use, though they don’t deliver the smoky flavour of gas or charcoal models. Electric BBQs are perfect for areas with gas restrictions or where convenience is a priority.
Portable BBQs are lightweight and easy to transport, available in gas, charcoal, and electric versions. While they have smaller cooking areas and may need more frequent refuelling, they’re perfect for camping, small patios, or occasional use.
Many models can also convert to pizza ovens, adding versatility to your outdoor cooking experience.
Smoker BBQs are perfect for slow-cooking meats to achieve rich, smoky flavours. They are available in different fuel types and designs to suit various preferences. Here are the main types:
The size of your BBQ determines how much food you can cook and how well it fits into your space. Small BBQs are ideal for couples or small families (up to 4 people) and are easy to store.
Medium BBQs suit gatherings of 4-6 people, offering a good balance between cooking capacity and performance. For larger groups, large BBQs provide plenty of cooking space and multiple burners, perfect for parties of 8 or more.
The type of fuel you choose will significantly impact your grilling experience. Gas BBQs offer quick ignition and heat control using propane or natural gas, with a gas bottle providing a portable fuel source.
Charcoal BBQs give a rich, smoky flavour with options like lump charcoal, briquettes, or hardwood briquettes. Electric BBQs are a convenient plug-in option, ideal for smaller spaces. Pellet BBQs use wood pellets for a smoky flavour and precise temperature control.
Heat output and control are vital for successful grilling. Gas BBQs measure heat in BTUs, while charcoal BBQs provide variable heat depending on coal quantity and airflow.
For improved control, infrared burners ensure even heating, and adjustable dampers regulate airflow in charcoal BBQs. Some models even offer smart technology for remote temperature control via apps.
If you need a BBQ that can be moved easily, opt for one with wheels and a locking mechanism. Safety features like heat-resistant handles, flame control, and safety valves are essential for ensuring safe grilling, especially in smaller outdoor spaces.
BBQ utensils and accessories can enhance your grilling experience and make your BBQ more versatile.
From rotisserie kits and side burners for additional cooking options to BBQ covers and grill mats and warming racks for protection and cleanliness, choosing the right accessories helps you get the most from your BBQ setup.
