Long live summer! Long live the Broil King Baron Pellet 500 barbecue!

No matter where you are in Spain or Portugal, there’s something incredible about summer, isn’t there? It’s not even the weather, because we pretty much enjoy glorious sunshine year-round, but there’s definitely something in the air this time of year: longer days to spend with friends and family, the buzz of impending holidays, the smell of fresh air, cut grass, blooming flowers and of course barbecues! We are lucky enough to be able to barbecue all year round, but they just taste better this time of year, don’t you think?

And you know what else makes a BBQ taste better? Smoke. We’re talking about the kind that fills your nose while you’re cooking and makes your stomach rumble with anticipation. The kind that drifts enticingly to your neighbours’ houses and makes them wish for an invitation over to sample whatever it is you have on the grill. The kind that permeates whatever meat, fish and vegetables you’re cooking and infuses them with that delicious flavour of summertime, anytime. Sound like your idea of BBQ heaven? Because if that’s what you’re looking for in a barbecue, oh boy have we got the grill for you: Broil King’s very own Baron Pellet 500. It’s got everything you need and more to make the smokiest, most flavourful, most mouth-wateringly delicious food you can imagine, easier than you even thought possible.

With a heavy-duty auger, 8kg pellet hopper, durable steel cooking chamber, and 1.5mm thick 16-gauge steel body, the Broil King Baron Pellet 500 creates delicious smoke and traps it into your BBQ foods to give them the juicy, iconic BBQ flavour we all know and love. Not only that, it comes with reversible cast iron grids, porcelain-coated warming rack and two electric meat probes for barbecue versatility of your dreams. All in all, that’s 5,161 cm2 total cooking space to smoke, roast, and grill quite possibly the most tempting foods of your life. How, you ask? Let’s talk temperature.

The Baron Pellet 500 comes with preset temperature buttons to make your barbecuing a breeze, but for those who like absolute control over their grill, precise digital temperature setting is as easy as a push of a button, too. Set your desired temperature (anywhere between 93oC and 315oC!) and let your purpose-built beauty do its thing. It’s Wifi-enabled, too, so you can use the specially-designed Broil King Grilling App to control your smoker’s temperature right from your phone. Sit back and relax with a cold one, grab some more BBQ must-haves from the house, even take a snooze in the summer sun instead of standing in front of your barbecue grill without sacrificing any the most delicious results you expect from a Broil King barbecue. The perfect beef brisket? Done and delicious with minimal effort using your Broil King pellet barbecue. Smoked pork shoulder cubanos? Juicy and tender results overnight while you sleep! The Baron Pellet 500 even has the capacity and capability to smoke a rack of lamb for your next family gathering this summer! And who says it’s only meats that can be smoked on your pellet barbecue? Vegetables make for a delicious BBQ option, too, and are easily achieved on a Broil King smoker. Check out our smoked vegetable grilling guide for ideas and instructions for fool-proof smoking results on everything from asparagus to zucchini!

Now let’s talk about clean up, because our engineers have thought of that, too. The Baron Pellet 500 comes with a removable stainless steel drip tray, removable ash collector, removable hidden grease tray with disposable liners, and burn-pot agitator for quick and easy cleaning of your smoker -because incredibly tasty results aside, no-fuss clean-up of your barbecue is just as important as easy cooking. And finally, we know your ultimate pellet barbecue with grill has to not only produce amazing results now, it has to last summer after summer and deliver the same perfection-level results every time. That’s why every Broil King Baron Pellet barbecue comes with a heavy-duty stainless steel handle, four stainless steel legs (and two leg-levellers), two large crack-proof wheels, and finished with high-heat (up to 600oC) resistant paint. And, as not only one, but two, cherries on top, we include a impressive 5-year warranty on Barron Pellet cookbox and 2-year warranty on parts and paint (not that you’ll need them!). No doubt: when it comes to versatility, durability, and flavour, the perfect barbecue is most definitely yours for the taking when you’ve got a Broil King smoker!

And the great thing about a smoker BBQ is that you can use different woods to impart different flavours – from the intense, spicy notes of mesquite and hickory, to the sweet and fragrant notes of apple cherry. Check out our smoking wood guide, to find out which woods give what flavour and what meats they are ideal for.
