As barbecue grilling gains popularity manufacturers are offering new innovations in the barbecue industry to keep up with the demands of consumers. These innovations, whether intelligent technology that allows for precise temperature control or adaptable design that allows for multiple fuel types are helping consumers to make the most of their BBQ experience.
Despite being steeped in tradition, modern techniques are reshaping this older cooking method into something more precise and reliable. For instance, Big Green Egg’s ceramic kamado-style barbecues offer a versatile design that works as a smoker, pizza oven or grill, drawing an array of customers. Green Mountain’s Pellet Grills come equipped her response with Wi-Fi, allowing customers to control and monitor their smoked meats from afar using an app.
While barbecue enthusiasts may have their own rules and customs (using the right wood for various meats, and insisting on certain rubs and sauces) they’re also open to experimentation. This is reflected in the trend towards global flavor fusion, as barbecuers experiment with marinades rubs, and sauces that are influenced by international cuisines, such as sweet Korean gochujang or spicy Mexican chipotle.
The 2024 BBQ industry is predicted to grow due to the increasing number of people who love this outdoor activity due to its social and recreational benefits. This is why manufacturers are focusing on the importance of innovation and are introducing new grilling technologies as well as energy-efficient versions of their products to attract eco-conscious consumers.
