As barbecue grilling is growing in popularity manufacturers are offering new innovations in the barbeque sector to meet the growing demands of consumers. These trends, whether it’s smart technologies that allow for precise temperature control or an adaptable design that can accommodate a variety of fuel types are helping consumers get the most enjoyment from their BBQ experience.
Despite being steeped in tradition, modern technologies are transforming this old-fashioned cooking method into something more precise and reliable. Big Green Egg’s Kamado-style barbecues for instance, have an appearance that can be used as a grill, pizza oven or smoker. This appeals to a wide range of customers. Green Mountain’s Pellet Grills come equipped with Wi-Fi and allow customers to control and monitor their smoked meats remotely using an app.
While barbecue lovers have their own rules, they are also open to experimenting. This is evident by the current trend of fusions of flavors across the globe as barbecuers experiment with sauces, marinades and rubs inspired from international cuisines such as sweet Korean gochujang and spicy Mexican chipotle.
The barbecue industry in 2024 is expected to grow due to the growing number of people who enjoy the recreational and social aspects of this outdoor event. Manufacturers are focusing on innovation and introducing new grilling technologies, as well with energy-efficient versions of their products, to appeal to eco-conscious consumers.
