Must Haves For An Amazing Spring BBQ

Warm weather brings the prospect of family and friends hanging together in the backyard. Amidst the chatter and laughter is the aroma from the barbecue grill and the free-flowing drinks. Spring barbecues are among the best moments you can ever have as a family. The company is always great, and you could also have some background music as an accompaniment. Better yet, the noise from kids playing is sufficient proof of joy in the air.

A flashback to the previous year and you recall what a wonderful time you had. This time around, you have planned for a spring BBQ, one that will linger in memory for months to come. If that is your dream, there are party items you must have ready.

Cookware

A barbeque cannot come through without a grill or stove. Having bid farewell to the cold winter, preparing an outdoor snack is the in thing. You need a place to light a fire and a variety of meats to throw on it. Choose a grill that comes with an arsenal of grill grates to protect the meat from the coal embers. They also prevent the veggies from falling into the fire.

Charcoal

Gas grills heat up quickly and evenly cook your meat and veggies. However, charcoal-grilled beef or mutton has a distinct taste. It makes the pieces a little smoky and fires up the flavor to levels you never thought of. Try some charcoal this time around and bring variety to your BBQ this spring.

Grilling gloves

Considering the amount of heat generated, you cannot pretend to be a tough guy and handle hot meat with bare hands. Occasionally, a piece of meat will fall on the grate. As you instinctively reach for it, you risk burning your fingers. Gloves protect your hands and arms from heat. They also make it easy to grasp the hot meat and turn it over.

Some beer and wine

Barbecue parties cannot go down well without a drink. Religious affiliations aside, some of your guests could be beer drinkers. You could either opt for summer ale or light beers, but one option is most ideal. To spice things up, stock them in an ice bucket to keep the drinks chilled against the backdrop of warm weather. Moderate drinkers will appreciate some wine too. Have a few bottles in stock.

Lighting

Spring parties tend to get better when the sun sets. As cooking progresses, you need some light especially near the grilling and the seating areas. Festive lighting, the same one you use during summer, helps set the mood. Moreover, it brings a transition in people’s minds that evening has come.

Final word

Springtime comes with a warm relief and opportunity to spend time outdoors. With a barbeque in the offing, check that your cookware is in working condition. Buy some charcoal and ensure that you have gloves for handling the heat. Throw some beers and a bottle of wine as you light up the area with festive lighting. Go on; enjoy your spring backyard BBQ.

Host a Labor Day BBQ Right!

Ahhh the smell of food grilling and the excitement from the last of the fireworks, you know Labor Day is here once again. If you plan on hosting a barbeque this year, then we’ve got three excellent tips to make your event incredible. From the corn on the stick to a good dessert, South Florida Bounce has the answers to do it up right!

First tip: Be Prepared! Since we are knee deep into hurricane season in South Florida, be sure to have a weather app with notifications. Apps such as Accuweather help to keep you alert when there’s rough terrain ahead when it comes to rain or shine. Be sure to plan your party centered around things like the heat index and any other issues that could arise. We Floridians know and plan accordingly with an alternative to taking the fun outdoors. Don’t limit your fun, just be sure to prepare to host indoors if you get washed out. For instance, host a Wii tournament or some other contest that’s suitable for the indoor activity.

Next tip: Invite old friends and get re-acquainted. If there’s someone you haven’t had the time to see in a while, then ask them to join. Keeping friendships is important no matter who you are, and a BBQ is the ideal setting for sparking up some memories and conversation. Don’t wait until the other holidays when life’s events can get hectic. Besides, everyone loves a good backyard celebration.

Third tip: Include games, swimming, and waterslides. The difference between a good BBQ and a GREAT BBQ, is always the entertainment. In fact, we may be guessing a bit, but not too many people enjoy hearing from their kids “Mom, Dad, I’m bored.” Be sure to keep them occupied with more than the grown-up talk. Having the right mix of activities and people makes all the difference in the world when planning a BBQ.

Make the last big party of the summer, one your guests always remember. Don’t be alarmed with back to school plans or anything else. Just grab a tall cold drink, eat some char-broiled grub and stay happy. Afterall, it won’t be long now before you can start planning for the holiday parties.
