Rectangular braziers

 

— a very popular option; it is not found only in those devices that, by definition, must have a different shape (for example, ceramic grills and grill pans). And barbecues (including camping and barbecue grills) in principle are made only rectangular.

In turn, barbecue grills, smokehouses and grills with a smokehouse can have both rectangular and other shapes. This diversity is especially noticeable in the first case: a lot of barbecue grills are made round, and some models are square. For these grills, the rectangular shape makes it easier to work with large oblong ingredients (sausages, bacon strips, etc.). For small pieces, a round or square grate may be more suitable, but this advantage is not so often fundamental; so most BBQ grills these days still have rectangular grills.

As for smokehouses, another moment is more relevant for them: rectangular outlines allow you to place products in rows, at a uniform distance from each other. This is much more convenient than trying to similarly arrange the contents in a circular space. As a result, rectangular (and square, in this case the difference is not fundamental) smokehouses are noticeably more popular than round ones.

In turn, grills with a smoking function are similar in this regard to barbecue grills: some of them are made round, but the rectangular shape is much more common.
