Grill or Barbecue? Know the Differences and Choose the Best Option for Your Professional Kitchen

In the hospitality world, the way meat, fish, or vegetables are cooked makes the difference between an ordinary dish and an unforgettable culinary experience. That’s why, if you are looking for the best equipment for grilling, it’s important to understand the available options: professional grills and charcoal oven barbecues.

What is the difference between a grill and a barbecue?

Although often used synonymously, a grill and a barbecue are not the same:

• Grill: it is a more controlled and versatile cooking equipment, designed for continuous use in professional kitchens. It generally runs on gas and allows for better temperature regulation.

• Barbecue (or charcoal oven): refers to a more traditional cooking system that uses charcoal or wood and provides that characteristic smoky flavor. It requires more attention and an environment adapted to smoke and fire management.
