What is the difference between a plancha brazier and a barbecue?

The difference between a BBQ plancha brazier (also called a TRIO or brazier with integrated plancha) and a barbecue is in the way they cook food, their structure and their main use.

Barbecue Grill – The Triptych

The barbecue plancha brazier combines the functionalities of a brazier (for heat and atmosphere) with those of a plancha (for cooking food) and a barbecue. It is a hybrid appliance that allows you to both heat the outdoor space with a fire and cook food.
This type of equipment combines several functions: it serves both as a brazier to create heat and as a cooking tool with a plancha plate. It can also be used as a barbecue with a grill or cooking directly over the fire. It is therefore a hybrid between a brazier, a plancha and a barbecue.

Barbecue

The barbecue is a piece of equipment exclusively designed for cooking food outdoors, usually with charcoal, gas or wood. It is specifically intended for grilling.
It is mainly intended for cooking meat, fish, vegetables or even pizzas using direct heat. The addition of charcoal or wood can also provide a characteristic smoky taste.
Food is cooked directly on the grill, which can result in toasted crusts and unique flavors that come with cooking over fire.

What is the difference between a brazier and a barbecue?

The BBQ plancha brazier is a hybrid appliance, offering a combination of heating, plancha cooking and grilling (BBQ). It is very versatile and suitable for different types of cooking while creating a warm atmosphere.
The barbecue, on the other hand, is a device that specializes in grilling, using the direct heat of coal, wood, or gas to cook food, often with the addition of smoke for a particular taste. It is mainly intended for classic grilling.

The TRIO BBQ plancha brazier is a more flexible option, while the barbecue focuses on the art of outdoor grilling.

Why is it better to choose a plancha brazier rather than a barbecue?

Choosing a plancha brazier over a barbecue can offer several advantages, depending on your needs, the space available, and the type of cooking you prefer. Here are a few reasons why a plancha brazier is a better option:

Versatility:

A plancha brazier combines several functions in one device:
• Heating and ambience: The brazier provides pleasant warmth to warm up outside, creating a friendly atmosphere, ideal for winter or cool evenings.
• Healthy cooking (plancha): It allows you to cook food in a healthy way, without adding fat (or very little), while maintaining its natural taste.
• Grilling (BBQ): make classic grills, thanks to a removable grill, thus offering the possibility of cooking meat, fish and vegetables in the traditional way.

Year-round use:

The plancha brazier can be used all year round. In winter, it serves as a heat source for outdoor evenings, which is not the case with a barbecue, which is often used only in the hot season. In addition, the plancha allows you to cook quickly and efficiently, even on cold days, while enjoying the warmth of the brazier.

More varied cuisine:

A plancha brazier allows you to cook a wide variety of foods in a more controlled way:
• On the griddle, you can sear meat, fish, vegetables, even seafood, with precise and even cooking.
• You can also grill food using a grate, while having the option to cook smokeless.

More suitable for light and healthy cooking:

Griddle cooking allows for healthy cooking, ideal for those looking to avoid excessive fat or oil. The food cooks on the hot plate, which preserves its flavors and nutrients while limiting juice loss. This can be especially interesting for those who prefer a lighter diet or have specific diets.
