11 Smokeless Barbecues for Grilling at Home

We will see the different types of smokeless barbecues and 11 models with which you can make great barbecues even indoors.

The summer is coming and, I do not know about you, but the body asks me for meals made in the embers. But it is increasingly difficult to find places where we can make fire to organize outdoor barbecues, because that is now very restricted to certain areas and rightly so.

The good news is that today there are alternatives to traditional coal barbecues that we can use on a balcony or terrace without fear of smoking neighbors or even if we have a barbecue and bad day, we can use them indoors. This invention, which I personally love, are the smokeless barbecues and I am going to talk about them today, since they can be of various types and we will be interested in one model or another depending on our needs.

There are mainly two types, smokeless coal barbecues, suitable both for outdoor and indoor, and electric barbecues, designed for indoor use.
