Picture yourself kicking back around your outdoor table with family and friends. Is what’s on your plate grilled, baked, roasted or smoked? Answer that and you’re on your way to choosing the perfect outdoor cooking set-up. There are lots available, from gas barbecues in different sizes to spit roasters, charcoal sear grillers and Southern-style smokers. Also, how many are dining? That will determine the capacity you need. A portable barbecue can tuck neatly into a corner of a balcony or terrace when not in use, while, if you have the space, a full modular alfresco kitchen with fridge and sink means you’ll never have to compromise on your menu.
