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

Hold your hand around 12” from the grill; if you can only keep it there for a few seconds, the temperature is too hot, 15-30 seconds is high and an ideal searing heat. 30-60 seconds,  means a medium temperature, ideal for normal grilling. Over a minute, fairly warm and good for keeping food warm. Any longer and the grill is not ready.

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.7 - Scarriest ever BBQ meal!

Grizzlies are a common problem in the Canadian Rockies, so it was perhaps no surprise that a Hunting party’s Barbi held in a remote part of the Banff national park in the Spring of 2018 was invaded by two Grizzly bears who ate most of the food before departing after one of the bears unfortunately toasted their paws on the fire!
