Barbecue article for magazine

[iGIZMO]

Hey Barbecuers,

I write for a gadget and lifestyle magazine and I'm researching an article on barbecues. So, where better to turn when in need of expertise, than The British BBQ society!

We plan to call in a few of the best BBQ's going and have a cook off between them. What I'm hoping you guys might do is make some suggestions for which models we should get in. We tend to be deal in quite high end products in the magazine, so price isn't a massive factor, although I am talking thousands not tens of! Fuel-wise we'll be looking at charcoal and gas.

Hope some of you find the time to answer this, and thanks in advance,

Ed

There is a stigma with Gas, but genuinely I think with the right use of Smoking woods, rubs, sauces etc, there is no reason you can't get a good product of a gas cooker.

I much prefer setting fire to something and tending the flame, or nursing it along. I find it more satisfying, than click click.

I have even seen the Plancha tables becoming more popular but I really can't call that BBQ, that is more Al fresco dining.

Did you mention Pellet Poopers Al, or are they outside the budget?

I think the division across the fuel types would make an interesting sub article. Although, and I think it is perhaps a UK thing. But I would guess the majority of the readers will only relate the word BBQ, Barbecue, Barbeque, or however it is spelt to either Gas or Charcoal, Burgers or Sausages and completely miss the other 99% of the style.

In fairness, anything you can do a Beer Can Chicken on, some ABT's and of course Steaks, is a great start.
