Why Choose a Charcoal or Wood BBQ?

Cooking over charcoal or wood gives food a rich, smoky flavour gas simply can't match. Charcoal reaches high temperatures for a beautifully seared steak.

FAQs

Charcoal BBQs use lumpwood charcoal or briquettes for consistent cooking temperatures. Wood BBQs burn logs or hardwood for distinctive smoky flavour. Wood tends to burn hotter, so shouldn’t be used in BBQs only designed for charcoal as it can lead to damage.

Yes. Modern charcoal BBQs are straightforward to use, with adjustable air vents for temperature control. Compact kettle grills are a great choice for first-timers.

Many charcoal BBQs and ceramic kamado grills handle smoking well — meat, fish and vegetables — by controlling airflow and using wood chunks or chips.

Depending on the model: powder-coated steel bodies, cast iron cooking grates, ceramic shells or masonry construction — all built for durability and heat retention.
