But man does not live by barbecue alone. Have you ever wondered if your garden is properly prepared for a great barbecue with family and friends? Here are some tips on how to properly arrange abarbecue area in the garden
The place for a barbecue in the garden should be quiet and conducive to eating
How to choose a place for a barbecue in the garden
To begin with, we need to decide where we will set up our barbecue. It is important that this is an informed decision. The best solution will be to place it in a secluded part of the garden, far away from the house. Thanks to this, we will be closer to nature, where the plants around us will favor a pleasant atmosphere, so necessary to have a good time.
However, with such an arrangement of the barbecue equipment, it will be difficult to deliver meats, drinks and other necessary things. However, if we arrange a barbecue close to the house, for example on the terrace, we will have all the necessary things at hand, but our grill will lose the unique, intimate atmosphere and the setting that is necessary for this type of outdoor feasts.
As everyone knows, the most pleasant place to rest is in a quiet place, sheltered from the wind and sharp sun rays. Having grilling in mind, we can, as aplace for a barbecue in the garden , adapt a garden gazebo, planting it with climbing plants or groups of shrubs.All kinds of ivy are best suited for this purpose, but remember that the fruits and juice of these vines are poisonous.If we decide to plant our gazebo with these plants and grill them with children, you have to pay attention not to accidentally plant them. they were tempted by sweet and tasty looking berries. In the area where we plan to organize a barbecue area, it is worth planting plants such as marjoram, basil and lemon balm. Their smell has a stimulating effect on our digestive system, and you can additionally decorate grilled dishes with them, giving them an unforgettable taste and aroma of fresh herbs.
What kind of barbecue in the garden
We already have a suitablebarbecue area in the garden , so now it's time to choose the right equipment. We have charcoal, gas, electric and brick grills available on the market. The most popular grill ischarcoal grill , however over time it may become a problem for us, not a pleasure.Ignition problems, hands always dirty with coal and the unpleasant smell of smoke can make life difficult not only for us, but also for our neighbors.The electric grillis unlikely to be suitable for larger parties away from home. On the other hand,brick grillcannot be transported elsewhere, for example in unfavorable weather. That is whygas grillsFiring up is a matter of a few seconds. The dishes prepared on them are much he althier than those on charcoal grills - the fat from the meats does not burn, but flows down through special chutes. Moreover, the cost of gaseous fuel over time is much lower than that of coal. Thanks to special wood shavings, you can get the aroma of roasted meats as in a traditional grill. We can move it at any time so that we have better access to it, and most importantly, we have solved the problem of the unpleasant smell of burning coal and dirty hands. When preparing dishes, some of the work can be done at home, but some things have to be done just before putting it on the wire rack, as well as during baking.Therefore, it is worth choosing a grill that will have countertops on the sides on which we will be able to finally prepare the meat. You can also buy a set of accessories that will allow us to safely supervise the cooking of dishes on our grill.
It is worth considering choosing the right barbecue equipment. The grill should light up easily, provide a place for convenient cooking and access to kitchen accessories
What furniture to put next to the grill
" We have already bought a barbecue that is right for us, so it&39;s time to choose a garden set where we will welcome our guests. Cheap plastic furniture sets are by far the most popular in our country, but they are not very practical. Undoubtedly, their biggest advantage is the ease of cleaning and the fact that they take up relatively little space after folding. However, they are not durable, break easily, and when left in the sun for a long time, they lose their color, becoming a faded, not very aesthetic garden decoration.Therefore, it is much better to choose wooden garden furniture. Their solid appearance will make outdoor feasts not only pleasant, but also safe. Due to the fact that wood is a material more resistant to load, we get rid of the fear of unpleasant landing on the ground, which probably keeps people who enjoy barbecuing awake at night. In the place where you plan to lay out the furniture, make sure that the surface is properly hardened to avoid the effect of a swing. Probably none of us grill-lovers likes the table swinging while eating. "
Safe place for children
If it is a family barbecue, children will surely be with us. Therefore, it is worth preparing a part of the garden especially for them, in which they can play with each other without any problems. Young children shouldn't stay in the sun for too long, so it's best to have a shaded place. If we do not have one, just place a large garden umbrella over them so that they can hide there.When grilling with children, you should remember, above all, about their safety, so the child must not be allowed to come into contact with the grill and equipment in its vicinity. Seemingly innocent meat tongs can hurt our consolation enormously. A good solution for hot days at the grill is to set up a pool in the garden designed especially for children. However, you need to remember that the water in it has the right temperature and that it is clean.
Beware of pets!
" Since we already have our dream grill, we chose the perfect place, and the guests have already started knocking on the door, it seems to us that we have got everything done with the proverbial last button. There is nothing else but to move into the garden and start the coveted grilling. Wait a minute … Have we thought about our pet? The smell of roasting meat can lure not only our dog or cat, but also the whole crowd from the area. And the dog plus the grill equals some mess and hassle.If we trust our four-legged friend, we can stay with him in the garden, however, the best and safest solution not only for our dishes but also for guests is to keep an eye on him. This rule should be followed every time children and people allergic to animal hair grill with us. "
The spring sun and the awakening nature encourage us more and more to start the long-awaited barbecue season. During those long months, when it was winter, we certainly missed cooking together outdoors. There is nothing else for us to do but implement the above tips and enjoy a great time with family and friends.
