In this article we’ll explain why Grillstream has become one of the most sought-after brands in the barbecue market; their industry-leading hybrid technology makes it easy to see why!
The story of Grillstream began in 2009 following the acceptance of the patents relating to the invention of a unique open-bar grill system. By preventing fat and oil from dripping down into the barbecue but allowing for direct heat, the open bar grill system makes their barbecues virtually flare-free, clean and healthy to grill upon.
The brand has gone from strength to strength and has received various awards along the way, Grillstream has also made appearances on shows like the Dragons Den, BBC News & outdoor living magazines such as The BBQ Mag.
Which Grillstream BBQs Can I Buy?
Grillstream has several BBQs available in their modest collection of grills. The smallest barbecues feature 2 burners ideal for couples and small families but there are 3-burner, 4-burner and 6-burner models available if you plan on cooking regularly for more people.
Here is a selection of the best-selling Grillstream barbecues, we’ve picked the top-rated models that our customers love and that our experts have verified.
What is the Grillstream Hybrid System?
Every Grillstream hybrid barbecue features an innovative hybrid cooking system, it combines the flavour of charcoal with the convenience of gas! You don’t need firelighters or lighter fluid, you simply use the gas burners to ignite the charcoal that sits neatly adjacent to the burners.
Along with the hybrid system, the Grillstream BBQs are equipped with the double grill system which features one grill on top of another that results in intense flavour because there is less fat and no flare-ups; It also means that there is very little fat that is left within the BBQ that needs cleaning.
Why is Lighting a Grillstream BBQ so Easy?
Lighting a Grillstream barbecue has never been easier! You don’t need to use any lighter fluid or firelighters, just ignite the gas burners and allow 15 minutes for your grill to reach the desired temperature. You can turn the gas burners off after 15 minutes and allow for a further 15 minutes for the charcoal briquettes to turn white. At this point, you’re ready to cook!
Are Grillstream BBQs Easy to Clean?
If you are like most barbecue users and dread cleaning up after use then a Grillstream model might be for you. The trays within a Grillstream are shaped to hold the briquette ash together so once the ash cools you can simply remove the trays and throw the ash away.
Any fats or juice from meats or other food you cook evaporates when you cook and any remnants are collected in the convenient cup located on the side of the burner. This collection process stops the fat from dropping onto the charcoals, you don’t come across any congealed fats to clean up or any spitting flames when cooking. In short, Grillstream has made cleaning up your barbecue easy which allows you to enjoy spending in the garden rather than scrubbing the grill.
What is the Difference Between Gourmet & Classic Models?
The Gourmet range of Grillstream barbecues features all the benefits of the Classic range. Each Gourmet model sits at a high price than the Classic equivalent so what extra benefits do you get with these models?
Each Gourmet model has the luxury of an added integrated side steak shelf. This infrared ceramic side burner is perfect for cooking vegetables and meat at a high temperature.
All Gourmet barbecues feature a panoramic viewing window within the lid which allows you to monitor the progress of your cook without letting the heat escape.
Gourmet grills are fully manufactured from high-quality stainless steel, they are built to last and this is backed up by their 10-year warranty.
The side shelves on Grillstream Gourmet barbecue are chunkier than Classic models meaning they’re able to carry a heavier weight.
