Which Barbecook suits you?

If you want to grill quickly and without fuss, look at the gas barbecues. The Siesta 210 and Luca 210 are compact models for a small patio, the Luca 312 and 412 have a cabinet and side burner, and the Siesta 612 is the largest model in this comparison. The number of burners and the size of the cooking area are shown on the product page.

If you like the taste of charcoal, the Loewy is a simple round barbecue in several sizes. The Magnus is a kettle barbecue with a lid, so you can also cook indirectly; for the Magnus there is a pizza oven, charcoal baskets and a premium cover, among other things. The Edson is an open cast iron grill and the Joya a small tabletop barbecue with tongs, handy for a balcony or a sociable evening at the table. The Nestor is a large wood-fired barbecue to gather around with a group.

For long, slow cooking or smoking, the Kamal 2.0 is worth considering: a ceramic kamado that holds its heat for a long time. If open fire is not allowed on your balcony, look at the electric E-Carlo or E-Luca (do check the rules of your building or landlord). The Otto 2.0 is designed for electric smoking.
