There’s no better feeling than a warm evening, good friends, and the smell of the BBQ sizzling away. To help you get the very best out of your grill this summer, we’ve put together our top must-haves, clever tips, and a few handy reminders to make every cookout a success.
1. Quality BBQ Tools
A true BBQ master needs the right tools. Invest in durable tongs, a sharp Tramontina knife, a reliable thermometer (like the GrillEye Max) and a sturdy spatula. They’ll make prep easier and grilling safer and they’ll last you season after season.
2. Keep Your Drinks Cold
Long BBQ afternoons call for cold drinks on hand. A tough YETI cooler keeps everything icy for hours, whether you’re chilling beers, soft drinks or a bottle of rosé. No more running back inside to the fridge!
3. Master Temperature Control
For perfect results, temperature is everything. Whether you’re using a Broil King iQue, a Traeger or a Kamado Joe learn to manage heat zones, lid position and fuel levels. A smart thermometer means no more guesswork.
4. Use the Best Fuel
Don’t overlook your charcoal or pellets they really do make a difference. Good quality lumpwood charcoal burns longer and cleaner, adding that rich smoky flavour we all love.
5. Protect Your BBQ
Sun, dust and sudden summer storms can take a toll. A good cover keeps your BBQ in top condition, ready for action whenever you fancy firing it up.
6. Get Inspired
Keep things fresh with new recipes from BBQ tapas to honey glazed salmon or smoky wings. Try cooking sides and even breakfast outdoors. Your grill is more versatile than you think!
