Which Weber suits you?

If you want to grill quickly and without fuss, choose a gas barbecue: a Q or Traveler for a small space and for taking on the go, a Spirit for the average family, or a Genesis or Summit if you often cook for large groups. If you like the flavour of charcoal, a 57 cm kettle is the classic choice. If you live in a flat with a balcony, look at an electric Lumin or Pulse (do check the rules of your owners' association or landlord). And if you want to smoke low and slow without managing the fire yourself, a pellet barbecue such as the Searwood is worth considering.

Gourmet BBQ System and other accessories

Weber barbecues with GBS in the name have a grill grate with a removable centre. Inserts from the Gourmet BBQ System fit into it, such as a cast-iron sear grate or a poultry roaster. The comparison also includes Weber Crafted accessories, such as a glazed pizza stone and a wok & steamer, and accessories from Weber Works, such as an organiser kit and a caddy. Check the product page to see whether an accessory fits your model and size.
