Which Outdoorchef suits you?

If you like the shape and use of a kettle barbecue but don't want to work with charcoal, a gas kettle barbecue is the typical Outdoorchef choice. With the lid closed, larger joints of meat cook evenly, and you're ready sooner than with charcoal. The Minichef 420 G is the smallest model and suits a small household or a small outdoor space. The Arosa 570 G and the Davos 570 G have a 57 cm grate and offer more room; the Davos 570 G Pro has two burners, the standard Davos 570 G one.

Prefer grilling on a rectangular grate with several burners side by side? Then look at the Dualchef. The 300 series has three burners, while the 400 series is wider and has more burners, making it easier to cook for a larger group or to work with different zones. The S 325 G is the stainless steel version.

Not allowed to barbecue with gas or charcoal on your balcony? Then the electric Minichef P-420 E is an option. The Tripod version stands on its own base, so you don't need a table. Do check the rules of your owners' association or landlord.
