The backyard barbecue aka Bbq is a true icon of a weekend getaway at home. A lot of people go all out to make their outdoor cooking space extra special. There are so many different choices available and with some creativity and imagination you can make a backyard barbecue that suits your personality and style.

Surely, there's always the traditional charcoal grill. This is the choice unit for hardcore Bar-b-que wizards who will accept nothing less than the traditional backyard bbq. Classic charcoal grills are the choice items for these sticklers for tradition. I have to admit that I favor the old-fashioned charcoal taste.

Others arent so interested in a traditional backyard barbeque. Convenience and ease of use is really important to many of us. This is especially true if time is a factor to consider when taking on this kind cooking project. If youve been at work all day waiting to get to your backyard barbeque, the last thing you should do is wait for coals to heat up.

Gas grills are ideal choices for individuals who love to cook out but hate to wait. There is no better way to get a great backyard barbeque under way in little time than with a gas grill. There are lots of styles and designs as well as a ton of different features on grillers that run on gas.

Surely, the more features that you want; the more you can expect to pay for the unit. But when it comes to a convenient backyard barbeque, many of us find that the extra money is not really an issue. There's one more thing to consider before surfing for a product for your home.

No matter if you like the traditional charcoal grill or if the gas grill is your ideal product. You have to decide whether you want a portable unit or whether you want a custom built backyard barbeque. There are some things to think about before jumping into a custom made project.

Most people immediately jump at the very thought of having a custom built backyard barbeque. We do have to back up to the fundamental question: Do you want charcoal or gas grills? When handling a custom made backyard barbeque, you can expect to be able to put together a well built charcoal (or wood burning) unit in a weekend.

A gas grill set up will be more expensive and more difficult to maintain. However, if gas is your dream for your backyard barbeque then you might want to look into a gas grill insert that can be removed.
