Today’s Brilliant BBQ Tip

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

BBQ Advice No.1 –
A Good Long Soak!

View more Barbi Tips

Marinated food tastes great and grills better, as apart from enhanced flavour, it also helps protect food against high grill temperatures. Normally the longer you marinade food the better, with an hour being a good minimum for most meats. But a simple tip to cut marinating time is to place food in a sealed plastic bag, massage in marinade and place in fridge. This can cut marinating time by half.

Top BBQ Facts

Here are some brilliant Barbi tips to help you get the very best out of your BBQ and alfresco eating & entertaining this summer!

BBQ Fact No. 3
Big BBQ Growth!

The average number of BBQ’s held per family during the summer has risen sharply from around 2.5 around ten years ago, and is very, much influenced by increased home-centric socialising, which in turn was influenced by the increased cost of eating, out to around 10 now!

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.8 - Most Extreme BBQ ever!

Adrenalin junkies would find this a hard to beat Barbi feat. Held on Lake Walapoa in Auckland, New Zealand, in 2017 a bungee jumper plunged down to grab a burger that was being grilled on a Barbi floating on a raft 250ft below. Believe it or not she managed to not only take, but eat most of the burger, although she did suffer from acute indigestion as a result!
