BBQ Tip 6 – Low & Slo

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’!

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

BBQ FACT 7

Despite the overall slowing of the plant-based or meat-free market, vegetarian or vegan options are still increasing in popularity on the Barbi in line with the continuing trend towards a more flexitarian offer in the choice of barbecued food. It is estimated that around 31% of all BBQs in 2023 contained a primary plant-based or meat-free base.

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…

Scariest 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!
