Summer is back, and it’s time to dust off your barbecue. However, if you do not have a great command of this device, you can quickly get lost. Which barbecue to choose? What is the essential equipment? Indeed, the equipment is essential for your dinner to be a success. Discover in our slideshow below the mistakes to avoid.

The choice of barbecue depends essentially on your criteria. Indeed, interviewed at the microphone of RTL, Morgan Bourven, journalist at Que Choisir, advises the charcoal barbecue “for those who are looking for an easy-to-use barbecue”. If you do not want to put too much money, this model is for you. Inexpensive, this device allows you to make simple grills. However, the coal used can be particularly polluting.

According to Natura-sciences, the charcoal barbecue is particularly polluting. Indeed, “the combustion of one kilogram of coal releases around 3.7 kilograms of CO2, or the equivalent of 27 kilometers traveled with a classic car (emitting 140 g of CO2 per kilometer)”, specifies the editorial staff. Moreover, when it burns, it also emits soot particles into the air. From an ecological point of view, the charcoal barbecue is therefore one of the bad students.

Conversely, the electric barbecue is becoming more popular in French homes. Yet a little more expensive but still accessible, the latter exploded in sales in 2022. Indeed, according to information collected by Franceinfo, their sales even exceeded those of coal-fired devices. Easier to use, this solution is chosen by more and more French people. But if you already have a barbecue, discover in our slideshow below the errors, proposed by Femme Actuelle, that you should not commit when using it.
