Analyzing the structure of a classic steel barbecue we can emphasize all the elements that compose it. First of all, the support structure, which serves to support the weight of the brazier, the structure of the barbecue itself, the lid for closing, any lateral support surface, an external thermostat for checking the temperature and a grill.

The models that have a rather considerable size have a rectangular support structure, where there may also be two wheels on one side, which must be locked when the barbecue is in use.

The size of the brazier determines the size of the grill, rather small in the versions of the round barbecue, especially suitable for family use. The large steel barbecue, on the other hand, has not only a rather large grill but also generally another grill placed at a higher level, used to cook dishes that require a lower degree of heat, or used to leave what has already been cooked warm. .

Closing the lid of the barbecue causes the internal temperature to rise. In some cases this can be verified through an external temperature detector that indicates the degree reached and this helps speed up cooking times. Inside this barbecue you can also find the iron for the spit-roasted chicken, and when it comes to a rather large barbecue you can also cook more than one.

The grill is undoubtedly the part of the barbecue that requires greater care because it must always be perfectly clean with each new use. This is decisive because, if you change the dish to be cooked and do not wash the grill, it will take on the flavor of the previously cooked food. The steel grill must be washed with soap and water and only after having completely dried it must it be put away and can be used. The internal structure of the barbecue, on the other hand, must be dusted with a dry cloth and thanks to the lid, small animals are prevented from getting inside, thus having a greater guarantee of cleanliness. Externally the steel, if treated with a specific deterrent, will remain shiny for a long time. Obviously with the passage of time it will tend to lose its brilliance, but if it is always cleaned properly it can remain in its initial state for many years. Those who do not have the possibility to store the barbecue inside an enclosed space must at least cover it with a plastic sheet, and try to place it in an area that is as sheltered as possible.

The steel barbecue can also be used on the terrace and, thanks to the many models available, even those with only a small balcony will not have to give up the pleasure of a barbecue. Each model certainly has different characteristics that will affect the cost. It generally starts from a rather affordable price for the medium-sized models, while the more equipped ones will certainly have a higher cost. Using a small barbecue when you have many people for lunch means that there is always a need for someone to cook, while if you decide to buy a rather large one it will be possible to have lunch all together, because the grill allows you to cook more food. Furthermore, by closing the food inside the switched off barbecue, after having finished cooking it, it can be kept hot for a long time and then served on the table even at a later time.
