The Ultimate Charcoal Grill Buying Guide
choose a good charcoal barbecue
What is the best material for a charcoal grill?
If your charcoal barbecue is of poor quality, it won’t last and you’ll have to invest again after a short time. Fortunately, it’s easy enough to tell the difference between good and bad material. We always recommend that you opt for a built-in bbq made from high-quality stainless steel.
If it’s built entirely from stainless steel, you benefit from maximum resistance to the elements. Otherwise, if your charcoal barbecue is low-end, it will be made of painted iron, and corrosion and rust will be its imminent future.
So, if you live in a coastal or freeze-thaw climate and your charcoal barbecue is made of stainless steel, you won’t have to worry about your bbq crumbling after a few years.
For added assurance, you can also select high-grade 316 marine-grade stainless steel. This offers even greater resistance to corrosion, and will last for decades, if not a lifetime.
What are the features of a charcoal grill?
If the bbq materials you’re interested in are right, next you need to look at its features! When it comes to charcoal BBQs, temperature control is important! Take a look at how well your BBQ does this.
The easier it is to control the temperature of your food, the easier it is to ensure that your food is cooked to perfection. The same goes for ease of cleaning. Are the charcoal grates easy to remove for ash cleaning?
This may seem trivial, but you’ll limit cleaning time enormously, and save precious time for your grilling! Some options can be fitted with a wide range of accessories and features to give you maximum satisfaction.

Correct dimensions for a built-in charcoal bbq
When buying your charcoal barbecue, there are two things you need to consider: firstly, the external dimensions of the barbecue and, secondly, the dimensions of the grills and cooking surface, which determine how much food you can cook with a single grill and, consequently, how many people can eat your delicious food without your food getting cold.
In our experience, the maximum grate surface that one person can control without the food burning is generally between 90 x 45 cm and 90 x 58 cm.
This conclusion is reached by checking that your food is placed on your grid and, when you have finished placing all your food on the grid, those that were placed at the beginning should be turned over so that they don’t burn.
Of course, there will always be more skilled chefs who can work with an even larger cooking surface, but in general, these are the maximum dimensions you can expect. With these dimensions, you can easily feed between 20 and 30 people.
Which is the best charcoal bbq?
The best materials for your cooking grids are AISI 304 stainless steel and cast iron with rust proof treatment.
At Fesfoc, we offer 3 different types of charcoal grills, so you can cook like a true professional.
FESFOC Grills
Elegance grates are manufactured with a rust proofing treatment. The Luxury and Professional grates are made of stainless steel, but the Professional model is the largest we have (it’s almost 30% larger than the 2 Elegance grates combined).
All Fesfoc grills are designed to enhance the flavor of your food. This is made possible by the large, specific cooking surface that burns the outer layer of your food while preventing most liquids from escaping by cooking them inside the food itself.
In this case, grills act as a cooking element for food with charcoal embers.
Low-cost Grills
This is not possible with cheap grills, as the surface area of your grill that holds your food is very small and, in this case, the fire cooks your food, but the final flavor of the cooking won’t be ideal.
Your food generally ends up much drier. It’s like cooking with a cast-iron paella pan or a tin paella pan. The end result is not comparable.
High-end Charcoal Barbecues
The type of barbecue you use is very important if you’re looking for excellence, the best results and the best flavor in the food you cook. Ultimately, when you barbecue, the food you prepare will be the same, whatever type of barbecue you use.
So why not buy a good charcoal barbecue that will always guarantee the best taste, the best results and give you excellence in all your dishes. It’s the ideal choice. Find out more about Fesfoc professional charcoal barbecues here.
