If you’re in the market for a new Weber gas barbecue, but you’re not quite sure where to start, make sure you read this handy guide. We will breakdown what to look out for when buying a new barbecue, what to take into consideration and we’ll include some Weber BBQ options which we think will suit the bill. Let’s get started.
What Type of Barbecue Should I Buy?
There are different types of barbecues on the market, such as a gas, charcoal, dual fuel or hybrid barbecues. Charcoal barbecues are known for their ease of use. When you get a disposable barbecue from the shops, these will have charcoal.
While each type will certainly have their pros and cons, here at Haldane Fisher, we only stock gas barbecues from outstanding brand Weber. Gas barbecues are easy to use and generally more reliable. Gas barbecues heat up more quickly than their charcoal counterparts and thanks to dials, the temperature is very easily adjusted and maintained.
We stock a variety of Weber gas barbecues, from portable versatile ones to luxury barbecues to elevate the full culinary experience in your own garden.
The Best Gas BBQ From Weber
The best type of gas barbecue for you is going to depend on a few different factors: space available, intended use, and of course budget available.
Best Portable Barbecue
If portability is your main requirement, then you cannot go wrong with the Weber Go-Anywhere Gas BBQ. With collapsible legs to lock the BBQ in place, the Go-Anywhere BBQ folds up so it can easily fit in the boot of your car or campervan. Ideal for camping, allowing you to explore whilst still being able to make very tasty meals on the go. The lid comes with a handy handle for easier carrying and the BBQ is easily ignited through a push button.
A slightly bulkier portable option is the Weber Q2000 BBQ with stand. Unlike the Go-Anywhere model, this barbecue comes with a stand and is considered a large portable BBQ. While still compact, it has built-in carry handles and foldaway side tables – ideal when you are on the go but have a few more mouth to feed.
Best Compact BBQ
For those working with a smaller space, and budget, Weber have a range of barbecues that will look great, make amazing food while offering up amazing specifications.
One such model is the Weber Q3200. It has a slightly larger grilling area and more fire power than other models in their Q range. It has two burners and two fold-away work tables. With a built-in thermometer, this is a great option for those working with limited space and a smaller budget.
Another great option is the Weber Spirit E-210 Classic barbecue, with two burners that can be individually controlled. It also includes flavoriser bars, which protect the burners and help infuse the food with the burnt off food juices and fats. With two foldable side tables plus a warming rack, this barbecue offers up a great cooking experience.
Best Barbecue for More Mouths to Feed
The Weber Spirit II E-310 gas barbecue is a fantastic option for those people looking for a bigger barbecue but don’t quite have the budget to splurge on their barbecue systems. A redesign of the ever-popular Spirit BBQ, the new design features cast iron cooking grates, three burners, with a sleek open cart design. You’ll be able to cook up a feast with ease.
Best Luxury Barbecues
For those looking for a luxury barbecue workstation, you cannot go wrong with one of Weber’s Genesis models.
We stock both the E-325s as well as the E-425s gas barbecue with integrated sear station. The E325s features three steel burners, a sear zone burner, and top grate whereas the E425s features four steel burners, a sear zone burner and top grate. The E425s is slightly bigger, and slightly more powerful.
Both barbecues feature extra-large folding prep and serve tables, as well as expandable top cooking grate which allows you to create a second level of barbecuing.
You can create restaurant-quality barbecue meals all year round with either of the Genesis models.
