Eating out doors with family or friends has been increasing in popularity on a yearly basis, although very dependant on the weather. The introduction of Gas barbecues has meant that the slightest break in the weather is now an opprtunity. For me and for many others though the only real way to barbecue is on a Charcoal Barbecue.

Part of the appeal of a Charcoal BBQ are the smells that are produced from not only the charcoal BBQ but from the food cooking and sizzling away, sometimes for a bit too long becoming a part of the charcoal burning on the BBQ.

Always think about the positioning of your Charcoal Barbecue before setting up. The following pointers should help you when looking for somewhere to set up your charcoal barbecue:

No over hanging hazards like trees, washing lines, buildings.

Not too close to any building.

Try and set your charcoal bbq up on an even surface.

Make sure you have an escape route planned in the case of an emergency.

If you have pets it would be advisable to shut them away whilst cooking on your charcoal bbq.

You will need to think about your hungry guests when choosing the best place to set up your charcoal BBQ. All of this will give you a idea of how much space you have available and also whether you want static charcoal BBQ or a Portable BBQ. The best way is to weigh up the pro’s and cons and work out which will best suit your needs.

Most people will go for a portable BBQ as they are convenient and easily put out of the way when not in use. Unlike a static charcoal BBQ, which has to be left to bear the brunt of the unpredictable british weather.

Now you have decided which type of charcoal BBQ you want and you have chosen the area that you are going to be using it in you can start to look around at the various types and designs that are available.

Safety is also of great importance after all it is a fire that you are playing with. The re-inforced foil used in portable BBQ’s is very thin and can often be quite dangerous, the bottoms have been know to give way which can obviousy be very dangerous in itself. So it is best to select a robust charcoal BBQ that will not only last longer but offer safety to keep those BBQ parties going without any injuries.

Try and keep your feet on the ground though and buy a Charcoal BBQ that is the right size for your requirements and not too big. Remember, the bigger the Charcoal BBQ, the more charcoal you will have to put on it, which can often be very costly.

Now, although health and safety has already been mentioned it is the most important thing of all, just make sure the kids and pets are out of harms way, then crack open a nice cold beer and enjoy you charcoal BBQ.
