It's quite surprising how many chefs there are at a barbecue party and each one has a unique way of cooking. In fact, if you don't really want to cook, throw a barbecue party and watch the chefs go to work! There is a school of thought that if it isn't burnt, it isn't barbecued … wrong!

Your barbecue food is only as good as the barbecue itself and it doesn't matter how good the self-appointed chef is. You can't expect a perfectly cooked steak on a disposable foil barbecue. Equally there will be a big difference in a steak cooked on a gas barbecue and one cooked on a charcoal grill.

So lets take a closer look at the main two types of barbecues available. Each year I would buy a cheap barbecue in the end of season sale. My sole intention was to use it throughout the next season and dispose of it afterwards … and begin the cycle again.

I held the opinion that charcoal barbecues were proper barbecues and gas ones were for cheats. Then my wife bought me an Outback, with double burner and a side hob. I'm not going to spend too much time on the disposable barbecues, they have their place, and they are fine for family picnics.
