Charcoal barbecue: tradition, flavor and authenticity

Charcoal barbecues are the favorite choice for those who enjoy the classic flavor and ritual of cooking over charcoal. This type of barbecue allows you to reach high temperatures, maintain heat control, and achieve that unmistakable smoky aroma in meats, vegetables, and fish. At Brikum, you'll find durable, functional charcoal barbecues with designs designed to help you enjoy every moment outdoors.

Advantages of cooking with charcoal on your barbecue

Opting for a charcoal barbecue has multiple benefits:

  • More intense flavor: charcoal provides a smoky touch that enhances the flavor of food.
  • High calorific value: ideal for marking meats and sealing food quickly.
  • Greater control: you can distribute the embers according to the type of cooking you need (direct or indirect).
  • No electricity or gas connection required: all you need is charcoal and a lighter.

Plus, our barbecues are made of heat-resistant steel, with iron or stainless steel grills and designs that are easy to clean and maintain.

Wood-fired barbecue: rustic cooking with great power

A wood-fired barbecue is ideal for those seeking an even more traditional experience. Cooking with wood not only offers a deeper flavor but also a lively, steady flame, perfect for long cooking sessions or for those who enjoy the process from lighting to grilling.

Firewood burns longer and, in many cases, also serves as a heating element if you cook outdoors during cool weather. It's very common in built-in barbecues or large metal barbecues.

Charcoal and wood barbecue: total versatility

For those who don't want to compromise, a charcoal and wood barbecue is the most complete solution. You can alternate or combine both types of fuel according to your preferences:

  • Use charcoal if you're looking for fast cooking, without excessive smoke and with easier cleanup.
  • Use wood if you want a slower burning experience, with a visible flame and smokier flavor.

Many of our models are equipped to handle both fuels, with adjustable trays, sturdy grills, and ventilated frames that make it easy to light and maintain a fire.

What to consider when choosing your barbecue?

Before purchasing your charcoal, wood, or mixed barbecue, consider the following:

  • Available space: For large gardens, you can choose large or built-in models. For terraces, there are compact or wheeled options.
  • Frequency of use: If you cook often, invest in a model with durable materials and easy access to trays or ashtrays.
  • Grill type: Cast iron is ideal for searing meat; stainless steel is easier to clean.
  • Accessories: Some barbecues include a lid with a thermometer, side tables, bottom compartments, or wheels for easy transport.

Frequently asked questions about charcoal and wood barbecues

What is the difference between a charcoal barbecue and a wood-fired barbecue?

Charcoal lights faster and produces less smoke. Wood offers a smokier flavor and a bright flame, but takes longer to ignite.

Can you use firewood in a charcoal barbecue?

Only if the model is designed for it. At Brikum, you'll find combination barbecues designed to safely use both fuels.

What type of firewood is recommended for cooking?

Firewood from oak, olive, or almond trees is ideal for its high calorific value and aroma. Avoid resinous woods like pine.

Do charcoal and wood barbecues require a lot of maintenance?

No. You just need to empty the ashtray, clean the grill after each use, and protect it with a cover or store it indoors.

Does Brikum sell barbecue accessories?

Yes. We have additional grills, griddles, tongs, brushes, covers, and quality charcoal to complete your experience.

Preguntas frecuentes sobre Charcoal and wood barbecues

How can I quickly light a charcoal barbecue without using chemicals?

The most effective and cleanest method is to use a metal chimney starter: simply place some paper or eco-friendly firelighters under the chimney filled with charcoal and, in just fifteen or twenty minutes, you will have all the embers ready to pour into your charcoal barbecue without black smoke or strange odors that contaminate the taste of the food.

Is charcoal or firewood better for long cooking times?

For cooking that requires a long time, the ideal is to use a charcoal and wood barbecue combining both fuels: the charcoal provides a very stable and long-lasting heat base that maintains the temperature, while adding pieces of wood during cooking will give you that aroma and the deep smoky touch that you look for in a traditional wood barbecue.

What basic maintenance does my charcoal barbecue need to prevent it from rusting?

The absolute key is to never let the ashes get wet inside the bowl, as the mixture of ash and water is very corrosive to metal: clean the inside well after each day and, if your charcoal barbecue is going to be outdoors, make sure to protect it with a good quality breathable cover that prevents condensation and direct rain.

Can any type of wood be used in a wood barbecue?

You should never use resinous woods like pine, nor treated, painted, or varnished woods, as they release toxic substances when burned. For your wood barbecue, always look for very dry hardwoods like holm oak, oak, or olive, which produce consistent embers and very pleasant aromas that enhance the natural flavor of the food.

What size charcoal and wood barbecue do you recommend for large groups?

To cater to a group of about ten people, ideally the grill surface should be at least sixty or seventy centimeters long: a charcoal and wood barbecue with these dimensions will allow you to cook different types of meat and vegetables at the same time, managing direct and indirect heat zones with total ease so that no one has to wait to eat.
