Prep your equipment.<\/b><\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Nothing beats the smoky, mouthwatering flavours you get from cooking over charcoal or wood, so a high-quality grill is a must for any backyard barbie. If you\u2019re looking for portable options, the <\/span>Charmate Collapsible BBQ & Firepit<\/b><\/a> is a versatile grill that can be used as a BBQ or a firepit and features a flat pack design for easy set-up and storage. Another great choice is the <\/span>Hellrazr YAMA Portable Charcoal Grill<\/b><\/a>,<\/b> a small but mighty grilling beast that can fit burgers, up to 19 skewers, a hefty brisket and more. For smaller parties, the <\/span>Firebrand SHICHIRIN Japanese Grill<\/b><\/a> is ideal. This compact, heavy duty grill is designed to withstand high temperature cooks, perfect for whole fish, large meat like tomahawk steaks, and lining up skewers.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

For foolproof, high heat grilling, try the <\/span>Firebrand Classic Charcoal Grill Maxi<\/b><\/a>. Cook for hours with its full stainless steel construction, suitable for most open grilling applications. It also has 4 wheels, so you can quickly and easily move it anywhere in your backyard!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Another unit perfect for bigger groups is the <\/span>Napoleon RODEO PRO Kettle<\/b><\/a>.<\/span> It has a large grilling surface that allows you to smoke, roast and sear meats with ease, plus amazing heat management and improved fuel efficiency. Cook comfortably with the sturdy, four legged design and take it wherever the party\u2019s happening with its weather and terrain proof wheels.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Whatever grill you choose, make sure to pair it with high quality fuel for hotter and longer cooks. Check out the <\/span>Firebrand Briquette Charcoal<\/b><\/a>, with premium and professional variants guaranteed to outperform any other briquette product in the market. Each piece features a unique hex design made from 100% hardwood sawdust with zero binding agents and chemical additives, ensuring a lost lasting, fierce burn with extreme heat.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

If you prefer lump charcoal, the <\/span>Firebrand Hardwood Lump Charcoal<\/b><\/a> is made with super dense, single origin citrus hardwood that gives a clean, consistent burn every time. It reaches temperatures up to 400\u00b0C, making it ideal for quick cooking, grilling and smoking.<\/span><\/p>\n

You can also try versatile cooking wood like the <\/span>Firebrand Vintage QLD Ironbark<\/b><\/a>, which delivers a clean burn with high, consistent heat and less ash. These can fit offset smokers, pizza ovens, open grills and fire pits. If you want to add a special smokiness to your cooks, don\u2019t miss out on <\/span>Firebrand Smoking Wood Chips<\/b><\/a>, which offer various flavour profiles and elevate any dish.<\/span><\/p>\n

Get your tools in order.<\/b><\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Keep your tools within reach to ensure seamless grilling. Start with the <\/span>Firebrand Firelighters<\/b><\/a> and the <\/span>Firebrand Stainless Steel Fire IT Up Charcoal Starter<\/b><\/a> to light your charcoal quickly and get the fire going.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

You\u2019ll also need grill tongs and spatulas, so invest in tools like the <\/span>Napoleon Stainless Steel AUTO-LOCKING TONGS<\/b><\/a> and <\/span>Avanti Mini Spatula<\/b><\/a>. A basting brush like the <\/span>Avanti Silicone Basting Brush<\/span><\/a> can also come in handy for your cooks.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re making burgers, you can smash burgers with ease with the <\/span>Heavy Duty Stainless Steel Burger Press<\/b><\/a>. Or if you\u2019re serving up chunks of meat and vegetables, the <\/span>Tramontina 6 Piece Skewer Set<\/b><\/a> will get the job done. Afterwards, you can keep the food warm in this <\/span>Hot Platter Barbie Food Warmer<\/b><\/a> that can fit up to 2kg of meat and veg!<\/span><\/p>\n

Allow your rubs and marinades to settle.<\/b><\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re marinating your meat, prep it at least two hours in advance to allow the meat to absorb the flavours. Just be careful of marinades that are acidic or contain alcohol, as leaving it on for too long can cause the meat to toughen. If you opt for a dry rub, leave it for at least 30 minutes so the salt and spices can penetrate the meat before cooking.<\/span><\/p>\n

At Firebrand, we have a vast selection of rubs, seasonings and marinades to choose from! Try the popular <\/span>Meat Church Holy Gospel Rub<\/b><\/a>, a blend that\u2019s great for ribs, chicken and beef, or <\/span>Lanes BBQ MAGIC DUST<\/b> Seasoning<\/b><\/a> that perfectly balances out the flavour of their signature rub with a sweet kick. For marinades, nothing beats <\/span>Sweet Baby Ray\u2019s Hickory Brown Sugar<\/b><\/a> for that Texas style BBQ sauce. For the daredevils, the <\/span>RUFUS TEAGUE Blazin Hot BBQ Sauce<\/b><\/a> will give you that extra heat you\u2019re looking for.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ready your recipes.<\/b><\/h2>\n

When it comes to food, standard Aussie BBQ fare like steaks, lamb chops and sausages are sure crowd pleasers. Grill the perfect thick cut steak every time using this <\/span>recipe<\/span><\/a>, or try the family favourite Tuscan BBQ Lamb Chops <\/span>here<\/span><\/a>. Want to do a kebab?

Serve \u2018out-of-the-box\u2019 creations.<\/b><\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Make like a true BBQ master and elevate your cook by serving more than just the BBQ staples. Pizzas, vegetable skewers and even seafood all make great additions to your backyard barbie, and you can even create delicious desserts on the grill by cooking mangoes, bananas or pineapples. Try our recipe for Barbecue Prawns in Curry Sauce <\/span>here<\/span><\/a> and for dessert, the BBQ Smoked Peach Tarte Tatin <\/span>here<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Don\u2019t forget your sides!<\/b><\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The meat may be the star of the party, but satisfying sides are just as important. Add some large mushrooms to the grill or cook corn on the cob. For a dash of colour, vegetable skewers can be a healthy side dish\u2014and they\u2019re so easy to prepare! Just thread some chopped veggies on a skewer, brush them with olive oil and cook directly on the grill.<\/span><\/p>\n

Get your grill ready for the next barbie!<\/b><\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Once all the cooking is done, it can be tempting to leave the grill and clean up when the party is over. But if you want less work for your next gathering, take the time to tend to your grill for a few minutes and do a quick clean. While it\u2019s still warm, give the grill a good brush and remove any residue. Once it has cooled down, wash it with soapy water and a sponge or wipe down the inside of your grill. Spray vegetable oil or cooking spray over the plates and grill to prevent rusting. And that\u2019s it; you\u2019re ready to get grilling again!<\/span><\/p>\n
