Depending on what you are intending to cook and your overall preference, you can choose either method but charcoal has proven a firm favourite, especially amongst campers. Construction quality Measuring 13.8 x 10.6 x 7.9 inches, the barbecue is not too large. It can cater to 3-4 people comfortably depending on the type of food being cooked. There are handles on the bbq but they aren’t insulated. Remember to have gloves on at all times when you have active coals on the grill if you need to move it or even if you think it’s cooled down, just in case. Have to clean by removing the coals from the top of the bowl (no bottom vents) and this can get messy. The 10-year warranty on the Weber 40020 Smokey Joe Premium 14-Inch Portable Grill highlights the confidence that the company has in its BBQ. Pros Gas models are very efficient, however, some might argue that gas models don’t give the same smokey flavour, we disagree but that’s another story. Gas models are very simple to start up and get to the right temperature. Most models will have knobs to help the user to regulate the amount of heat needed at the time. They are also easier to clean because there isn’t ash involved. The only downside is that you need to carry a gas bottle around, however, the same can be said in regards to carrying coal around.
