On some campsites it is not permitted to prepare food on a charcoal barbecue, which is why you are always on the safe side with a gas barbecue.
In addition, with a charcoal barbecue you always have to have charcoal with you, which is not exactly space-saving, or make sure that you can buy some in the immediate vicinity.
Cooking with a gas barbecue is also much quicker, as you don’t always have to wait for the right temperature.
You can set up the gas barbecue easily and simply, adjust the temperature flexibly and prepare your meals quickly and safely.
