Which of these 10 barbecue types are you?

Not only are barbecues available in a number of designs, there are also different types of barbecues. Which one do you belong to?
Unfortunately, the barbecue season will soon be over for most of us. So it's time to think about what type of barbecue you are and whether you want to be the same type again next year. Personally, I belong to #9 and feel quite comfortable with it.
#1 The armed one
You are equipped for all situations. Whether it's just a bratwurst or half a pig for your whole neighbourhood - you and your barbecue can handle anything. You prefer to be prepared and don't like to be caught off guard. You never know!

#2 Always on the move
Your barbecue must be compact enough to take with you wherever you go. Whether at the lake, in the nearest park or wherever you happen to be. Flexibility is your top priority.
#3 USA! USA! USA!
Big, bigger, your barbecue. How else can you cook 10 kilograms of pulled pork in one go? American BBQ legends are your role models and your favourite series is BBQ Pitmasters. You don't let anything in the world put you off your stride either. As we all know, strength lies in calm.
#4 The would-be homeless person
You feel like you're the kind of person who keeps their hands warm over a burning oil drum under a bridge. It doesn't really matter whether you buy the barrel ready-built or screw it together yourself. The main thing is that it looks a little "fucked up" .
#5 Once-a-year grill
Your barbecue doesn't really have to be able to do anything or be useful for anything. The only thing that matters to you is how it looks. It's as much a part of your home as the plant next to the window. The main thing is design!
#6 The balconyless
Well, barbecuing is rather difficult without a balcony. But not completely impossible. Thanks to electric tabletop grills, you too can blacken your sausage or heat up your corn on the cob.
#7 The one with the ace landlords
You may have a balcony, but you are not allowed to barbecue with gas or charcoal. Electricity is your solution. You may not quite get the feel of a barbecue, but you can't complain about the flavour .
#8 The constant
Whether wind or rain, summer or winter. Your outdoor fireplace is always ready for your barbecue skills. You enjoy sitting at your garden table on your patio. The fireplace is usually placed in a corner next to a bundle of wood.
#9 Cosy is the be-all and end-all
The barbecue itself is not that important to you. A cosy round around the fire is much more important to you. You can enjoy the hypnotic effect of the fire all night long. You can usually be recognised by the smoky smell of your clothes.
#10 The know-it-all
You always stand next to the grill master and always know everything better. You always have the feeling that the meat is burning and that your host needs to turn it or arrange it. But you never do the barbecuing yourself!
Which of these barbecue types are you? Or have I forgotten another one? Let me know in the comments.
