Balcony barbecue

Perfect for city balconies and small terraces: Balcony barbecues are compact, safe and quick to set up. Whether electric, gas or charcoal - they offer real barbecue flavor even in limited space. Ideal for anyone who doesn't want to miss out on that summer BBQ feeling in the city.

Which devices are best suited?

If you want to barbecue on the balcony, you need the right solution. Well suited:

• An electric barbecue - safe, clean, uncomplicated, particularly suitable for a small balcony.
• A compact gas barbecue or table barbecue - offers more power and real BBQ flavor, but requires a little more space and a secure location on the balcony railing or table.

Less suitable:

• A charcoal barbecue - only allowed on a few balconies, more of an option for the patio or garden. If you are looking for a charcoal barbecue after all, then take a look at here.

Small barbecues with big barbecuing fun

A balcony barbecue doesn't have to be huge - what's important is a compact model that requires little space but offers enough grilling surface for 2-4 people. With brands such as Napoleon, Broil King and Rösle, you'll find small barbecues that impress with their powerful burners, good heat distribution and clever accessories.

Whether table grill, stand grill or compact grill station - these models offer versatility in a small space and are also safer than grilling with a charcoal grill.

A compact balcony barbecue offers a number of advantages:

• Space-saving size can be an advantage.
• Fast operation with gas or electricity reduces long waiting times
• Safer without the risk of flying embers
• Flexible extras such as side burners or even rear burners offer compact barbecue models a useful upgrade.

A barbecue master doesn't necessarily need the biggest barbecue: even a compact model is enough to prepare meat, fish or vegetables to perfection and provide real BBQ enjoyment.

Everyday tips for barbecuing on the balcony

Barbecuing on the balcony is not allowed everywhere and is not always welcome. So here are a few tips to make sure your barbecue doesn't turn into a disaster.

• First of all, find out what your house rules or tenancy agreement allow. Are you even allowed to barbecue on the balcony?
• Pay attention to the positioning of your barbecue. To avoid trouble, it can help to choose a good location and thus prevent a dispute with your neighbor.
• Barbecues with lids reduce smoke and keep the food warm for longer.
• Operate gas or electric barbecues safely. Store the gas cylinder upright. Check that gas cylinders are in good condition before use. Only use electrical appliances on an RCD-protected outdoor socket, lay the cable in a dry place.
• Minimize the risk of grease fires. Use the drip tray and keep the grill clean; if there is a flame, close the lid and turn off the gas or pull out the plug - no water.

Brands, selection and important questions about balcony barbecues

When choosing the right balcony barbecue, it's not just the price that matters, but also the price-performance ratio. The selection ranges from compact electric barbecues to small gas barbecues from well-known manufacturers such as Rösle, Napoleon, Blackstone, Broil King or Knister.

It is important that you consider your personal requirements before buying:

• How much space do you have on your balcony?
• How many people should the barbecue be designed for?
• What temperatures do you want to achieve when barbecuing?
• Do you prefer to work with electricity or gas?
• And whether functions such as a warming rack or an additional side burner are important to you?

Step by step, you will find the balcony barbecue that perfectly suits your budget and your barbecuing habits - and you can be sure that you will enjoy your new barbecue for a long time to come.
