Today’s Brilliant BBQ Tip

Here’s some great Top Barbi Tips & Advice on how to be a Better BBQ’er...

View more Barbi Tips

BBQ is not a race against time, so don’t grill too quickly or on too high a heat as this causes food to burn on the outside whilst being under cooked in the middle. The trick is to ‘sear on high’ and then take it ‘low and slow’. It also helps if the grill-bars are well oiled, but don’t make the mistake of turning food too often as this reduces heat and can leave food undercooked. A good guide is ‘Turn twice’!

The USA has overtaken Australia as now being seen by consumers as the most synonomous with BBQ. US Style Lo&Slo has become very fashionable. Whilst hot and spicy food regions such as South African, the Caribbean, Mexico, North African and Southern US styles such as Cajun & Creole and South American styles, are also more popular on the Barbi.

Legends of the Grill?

Here are some of the most surprising and possibly (un)believable BBQ stories that we’ve come across over the years…

Legend No.6 - Weirdest ever BBQ Party!

Probably not the best of locations and slightly scary was the Stag-night BBQ party held in Tijuana in 2013, which was organised by the Groom’s best friend and somewhat unwisely held in a graveyard with the guests dressed as ghosts. Proceedings were brought to an abrupt halt when the event was raided by the local Polizei on suspicion of cannibalism!
