Charcoal is and will always be the preferred way of grilling. When asked about the right charcoal grill, three models are the most popular.
It doesn't always have to be summer, because you can actually have a barbecue at any time of the year. Especially if you have a garden or a spacious terrace.
Grilling is the favorite pastime of Germans and is becoming more and more popular every year. From the pan grill, to the kettle grill, to the professional grill for the grill master. The selection is gigantic and the equipment for perfect grilling is becoming more and more sophisticated. However, charcoal grills are the true masters here for the strong taste of the food, which is equipped with roasted aromas. You can't have a delicious grilled steak or perfectly grilled trout without these grills.
Various grills available on the market - which one to choose?
This is a question that many people who enjoy barbecuing and want to celebrate outdoors as often as possible ask themselves. Although more and more electric grills are now being offered so that the grill can be heated electrically without coal or wood, the charcoal grill is the classic among all grill variants and devices and the best friend of all grill fans. Grilling with charcoal and barbecue briquettes is not only fun, but also provides the popular barbecue taste that cannot be replaced by anything.
Different grill variants that are fired with charcoal are available to grill friends here. From a very simple and small kettle grill, to the popular swivel grill, to the lavish variant, the so-called smoker, which has been used as a favorite grill for decades, especially in the USA. The selection is immense and so is the variety of possibilities. However, these grills basically have one thing in common: They are fired with coal and are therefore called charcoal grills.
The swivel grill
It is particularly popular with people who do not have a large space in the garden or on the terrace. The swivel grill is usually made of light metal, is set up on three feet on the ground sothat it is not unstable and the grill plate, or grid, is attached to a bracket located in the middle of the swivel grill. As soon as the charcoal has reached the right temperature in the lower area, the food can be placed on the grid. It is best to always wear grilling gloves, the grill grate can get very hot. The advantage of the swivel grill is that the food cannot burn when swiveling. A matching fire bowl for the charcoal can also be obtained for the swivel grill to prevent the charcoal from falling uncontrollably to the ground and causing fire damage.
The Kettle Grill
Very popular and always practical. Thanks to its spherical statue, it's possible to have it in different sizes and store it in practically every corner. If you're having a barbecue and your friends are invited, you can set it up in no time and throw it on. This grill also works according to a simple principle: open the lid, put in the charcoal and the meat can be on the grill. The lid can be opened or closed depending on your preference. However, if you have perfectionistic demands on the grilling result, you should take a closer look at the optimal use of a kettle grill and maybe even use a wireless grill thermometer.
The smoker - king among the charcoal grills
The increasingly well-known smoker is now also becoming more and more popular in this country. The preference for the perfect preparation of steaks has therefore also increased among German barbecue fans. However, a smoker needs enough space to set up and the right handling. The preparation of meat with the smoker, if it is used correctly, is an absolute pleasure experience and can hardly be compared to the pleasure of a barbecue. It also needs charcoal to get up to speed and it also needs the right heat to achieve perfect cooking of the food to be grilled.
