Gas barbecues are practical: they heat up quickly and the temperature can be easily adjusted. In test booklet 5/2019, the Stiftung Warentest examined gas grills. The test winner was the Weber Q1200, which received a grade of 2.2.

It is a portable grill with a burner, which is supplied with gas via the manufacturer's cartridges. According to the provider, the grill can also be converted to gas cylinder operation. Both with cover and open, it heats the grate with a size of 43 x 32 centimeters quite evenly. According to the Stiftung Warentest, it can also be cleaned well.

Test winner electric grill: Tefal GC3060

The Tefal GC3060 received the mark 2.2 in the test booklet 5/2020 of the Stiftung Warentest. This makes the grill - together with the WMF logo contact grill - the best electric grill. In addition to his good overall performance without any major negative outliers, he scored particularly well in the "grilling" category. In addition to the success of the food to be grilled, this sub-grade also included the temperatures and the grilling time.

The Tefal GC3060 is a contact grill, which means that the grill is opened like a waffle iron, the meat is placed in it and then closed again. Both the top and bottom are heated, which is why you can grill open on the Tefal grill and therefore use the double grill surface. The die-cast aluminum grill plates are non-stick sealed and removable. The temperature is controlled by a thermostat.

If you want to have a real smoky aroma, you need a charcoal grill - even if these types are more cumbersome to use. The last test was carried out by the Stiftung Warentest in summer 2014. The Weber Master Touch GBS (available in several colors) was on par with the now difficult-to-get test winner Barbecook Major Black Go. Both models received the grade 2.4.

The Weber grill is a charcoal grill with a spherical lid. The grill surface has a diameter of 57 centimeters. Nice added value: the grate can be exchanged for pizza stone, wok or cast pan, the ash pan is removable.

Gas, electric or coal grill? The pros and cons

Gas grill, electric grill, coal grill - which type to buy?

There is the tough fan base that swears by a charcoal grill. Only with this type can you get the classic smoky aroma without any tricks. But on the other hand, you have to fight with smoke and soot - consequently you cannot set up a coal grill everywhere. In addition, firing and cleaning takes a long time, and operation with charcoal is more expensive.

Gas and electric grills are ready for use faster and cheaper to operate. For the latter, however, an outlet is required - barbecuing in the park becomes difficult. You can even use many electric grills indoors, not just outdoors.
