It will soon be time to dust off the rattan garden furniture and roll out the BBQ, but before you do, you might want to think about what your BBQ set up will be this year. Playing host is great fun, but it’s even easier if you prepare and get your garden area set up for your BBQ. Read on for some tips for the perfect BBQ set up for 2023.
Pre-preparation
If your BBQ hasn’t been properly touched for a year and you need to make sure it’s good to go, you will need to think about giving it a good clean. One trick for cleaning a dirty BBQ is to get a lemon, cover it in salt crystals, then rub it gently along the grill plates of your BBQ while it’s hot. The acid from the lemons gets through all that grime and grease.
BBQ accessories
Once your BBQ is nice and clean, you might want to think about what accessories you could do with in order to make your hosting life easier. You can find a number of tool sets out there, but you might want to also think about any additions you might need. These could be things like extra skewers, BBQ gloves or things you may not have tried before, such as a burger press to create your own burgers.
The perfect bottle of wine
This one is more about the addition to your food, rather than the BBQ set up itself, but it’s always good to have a glass of something while you’re cooking. Red wine goes great with a smoky burger.
