As barbecue grilling is growing in popularity manufacturers are providing fresh ideas in the area of barbeque to meet the changing the demands of the consumer. These trends, whether it’s innovative technologies that allow precise temperature control or a flexible design that allows for multiple fuel types are helping consumers enjoy their BBQ experience.
Despite being steeped in tradition, modern techniques are reshaping this older cooking method into something more precise and reliable. For example, Big Green Egg’s kamado-style ceramic barbecues come with a variety of designs that can be used as a smoker, pizza oven or grill, drawing many different types of customers. Green Mountain’s Pellet Grills are Wi-Fi enabled, allowing customers to control and monitor their smoked meats remotely using an app.
Although barbecue enthusiasts have their own rules, they are also open to experimenting. This is evident in the current trend of global flavor fusion as barbecuers experiment with marinades rubs, and sauces that are influenced by international cuisines like sweet Korean gochujang and spicy Mexican chipotle.
The BBQ industry in 2024 is anticipated to grow because of the growing number of people who love this outdoor activity because of its recreational and social benefits. Manufacturers are focused on innovation and introducing smarter grilling techniques, as well with energy-efficient versions of their products, to appeal to eco-conscious consumers.
