James Connolly - July 23, 2019

What better way to cook than with flame and grill? We’d wager there isn’t one. Ideal for any time of year (not just summer), a great bbq is essential for any true food fanatic. The thing is, buying the right one for your needs can sometimes feel like a bit of a minefield. With so many styles, price points and brands on offer, how to choose the perfect BBQ?

Well, our collection of the very best BBQ’s in the world will help you to do exactly that. We have gas, charcoal and electric options included in our rundown of the finest grills and smokers around, so you’re sure to find something that suits you.

So, without further ado, let’s take a look at our selection of the best BBQ’s on the planet…

Napoleon Pro 22

The exceptional design and smart, practical features of this Canadian made BBQ make it one of the best in the world. With a 22 inch grill, this awesome charcoal BBQ somehow manages to keep things traditional and modern all at once. In fairness, that’s probably because of the ingenious design that’s clearly considered the functional issues that most BBQ enthusiasts face! 

There’s the grill for starters, which lowers to three different levels to allow for a range of temperatures and exposures. Then there’s the fact that it lifts on one side to allow for topping up charcoal during the cooking process. Great looking, strong and practical, this is simply the finest charcoal BBQ available. Starting at $350 you will be paying for the pleasure however, the sturdy Napoleon Pro 22 should last many years on end.

Everdure by Heston Blumenthal Force 2 Burner

Whilst purists tend to prefer charcoal or, at a stretch, a wood chip burner, this gas offering from Everdure is sure to change many a mind indeed. For starters, there’s the sheer beauty of its design, which is somehow at once retro and exceedingly contemporary. Endorsed by the brilliant British celebrity chef Heston Blumenthal, this wonderful gas offering heats up super-fast for convenience and comes in a range of striking colors. With a sturdy build that’s big on quality, the Everdure Force 2 clocks in at around $1,000, making it perfect for those seeking a premium BBQ burner.

Weber Pulse 1000

To round off our selection of the best BBQ’s on the planet it is only right to include an electric offering to compliment the charcoal and gas burners. This, for our money, is the best electric BBQ in the world right now. The Weber Pulse 1000 features cast iron plates on the grill to provide all the taste of charcoal without the hassle. Ideal for those seeking a cleaner option to traditional gas and charcoal burners, the Weber Pulse 1000 is a smart electric BBQ that hooks up to your phone via an app that lets you know when your food is cooked to perfection. So, what this model lacks in traditional BBQ character, it more than makes up for with 21st-century tech features.
