So call your friends over, whip out the beer coolers, and get ready to channel your inner grill master. With these five essential tools, you’ll be whipping up recipes that aresure to please everyone’s taste buds.
1. The Right BBQ Grill
The first essential item you’ll need is a BBQ that “meats” your needs. When buying a BBQ, you’ll need to consider preferred flavors, ease of use, and the number of people you’re cooking for (as this will help you determine the size, and if you’ll need charcoal or gas). Gas BBQ iseasier to use, light and clean than the charcoal counterpart but charcoal BBQ cost less and also adds that unique, smoke BBQ flavor to your meet. Charcoal BBQ can take a while (up to 40 minutes) to reach the right cooking temperature but with gas, it is nearly instantaneous
2. BBQ Fuel
Trying to host a barbecue without BBQ fuel is like trying to build a castle out of thin air. If you have a gas BBQ, then you’ll need a canister of patio gas. It is available in 13kg and 5kg bottles, whichever you get depends on you and the amount of use your BBQ will get. Charcoal BBQ’s require charcoal, lighter fluid and a lighter. You can also add BBQ wood chips to your charcoal to give your food a delicious and unique flavor.
3. Chimney Starter
A chimney starter is an essential item for anyone using a charcoal grill. It normally takes a while for a charcoal BBQ to reach the ideal cooking temperature but with a chimney starter, the time required is greatly reduced. If you’re a grills master who prefers the charcoal BBQ then your barbecue utility belt isn’t complete without a chimney starter.
4. BBQ Utensils & Accessories
If you’re going to do a good job getting the meat ready for consumption, then you’ll need the right tools. Long-handledutensils are an essential item for any barbecue master. They help keep your hands away from the hot grill and prevent your hands from getting burned while you tend to your cooking. Some of the utensils you’ll need include a long-handledfork, tongs, and spatula, a marinade brush, some knives, an apron and a chopping board.
5. Meat Thermometer
When cooking your meat on a BBQ, you need to make sure that the meat is cooked all the way through. When using a barbecue grill, it is rather easy to burn the outside when the inside is not yet cooked. Because of this, you’ll need to get a meat thermometer that helpsyou check if the inside is properly cooked. The internal temperature of cooked meat varies, for pork and beef,it is 145°C while for chicken, it is 165°C.
