There’s lots to consider when investing in a BBQ, so we’ve broken down the features we think are worth keeping in mind.

When it comes to flavour, electric BBQs can’t quite compete with charcoal, but our testers found they still sealed in flavour and charred well. If smoky flavours are at the top of your agenda, consider the Ninja Woodfire Smoke & Grill as this uses small woodfire pellets to replicate that classic smoky BBQ taste. The perfect choice for a family get-together or summer garden parties, this generously sized barbecue boasts four burners and a grill large enough to hold up to ten portions. With automatic ignition and a handy thermostat, this barbecue makes light work of cooking for the masses.The BBQs on our list range from one burner to five. There’s no specific amount that's better, but be wary that more burners do equate to bigger BBQs.

Additional features: Generally, these are nice to haves, but it’s worth thinking about what else comes in the box. For example, one of our joint winners, the Whistler, comes with a rotisserie system that can be added to the BBQ. The Weber, another one of our winners, comes with an additional temperature probe for even more controlled cooking. With its stylish design, the GFGBBQ4B-N looks at home in any setting, so there's no more trying to hide the tired old BBQ from your guests.TEMPERATURE CONTROL: Four stainless steel burners (7.2 kW) and a side burner (2.1 kW) that can be adjusted and ignited individually via Piezo ignition to accommodate cooking a variety of meat and vegetables with different requirements at the same time. The CosmoGrill 4+1 also features a built-in thermostat enabling you to cook to perfection. With its stylish design featuring wood effect shelves, the GFGBBQ4W looks at home in any setting, so there's no more trying to hide the tired old BBQ from your guests. It also boasts extra features, such as 2 convenient side shelves and a multifunctional hanging towel rail. If you wish to return your item to Robert Dyas, you can do so by the following method: 1.
