Whether you're a seasoned pitmaster or just starting out, you've probably faced the ultimate BBQ debate: gas or charcoal? When it comes to ease, speed, and control, gas BBQs truly stand out.

One of the biggest advantages of a gas grill is its ability to maintain high, consistent temperatures, allowing you to quickly and efficiently cook for a crowd without compromising on flavour or performance.
