6 . If you’re feeling in the mood for grilled food but don’t have a barbecue, then deciding what product to purchase can be a bit difficult. So to help you get a better understanding of just some of the choices available, here’s our guide to buying a new BBQ.

Charcoal vs Gas

The first decision is how your BBQ is going to be powered. There are essentially two main choices: the traditional way with charcoal, or the quick and convenient way with gas. For those who get frustrated with the process of lighting coals and waiting for them to reach the desired temperature, then gas is the easy option. It’s clean and gets up to temperature in an instant. But for many, the main fun of a barbecue lies in the back-to-basics cooking that hot coal brings natural barbecue fire. You’ll also find a far greater range of charcoal barbecues.

Size

For anyone who likes to throw a garden party with a busy barbecue at the centre of the action, there are some vast grills (烤架) available. But unless you’re regularly feeding the masses, then these BBQ beasts can be impractical. Smaller meals are better suited to smaller equipment, so be realistic about the size that best suits you.

Open grill or lid

While facing the barbecue selection of your nearest retailer, you’ll notice that some of them have lids. These will usually be round and will make you pay more than the lidless options. But if you want the benefit of being able to cook larger items over a longer period of time, such as a whole chicken, then a lid will be essential.

1. Which BBQ is suitable for Jack, who likes back-to-basics cooking and often invites friends to the garden party?

A．Gas barbecue in small size.	B．Gas barbecue in big size.
C．Charcoal barbecue with big grills.	D．Charcoal barbecue with small grills.

2. What is the difference between the open grill and the one with a lid?

A．The open grill costs more.	B．The open grill looks superior.
C．The open grill is more reliable.	D．The open grill is less suitable for larger items.
