Barbeque – one of the most evocative words in the English language; just try saying it without licking your lips! There’s something about the first barbeque of the year that signals the start of summer. Someone, somewhere in the neighbourhood cranks up the ‘barbie’ – and within minutes we’re all dusting off our aprons and shopping for charcoal!
Every year, we venture out into our gardens at the first sign of a summer day – with just one thing in mind. It’s a fast growing tradition: there’s the thrill of anticipation as old ‘Barbie’ sputters into life, the excitement as the flames roar and the food crackles, and then the unmistakable aroma! The aroma carries for miles, mouths water and the barbeque season begins.
The charcoal barbeque is the model of choice for connoisseurs and Grade A ‘barbie’ chefs. No wonder. Nothing else can quite compare with al fresco, flame grilled food or give that authentic fresh flamed taste.
Not got the space for a barbeque? You’d be surprised. Table top BBQs are now available that are, as you’d imagine lightweight, portable and small enough to fit on just about any surface. You can barbeque on your deck or patio; you can take it on holidays and picnics. Wherever you’re going, you can take the barbeque; for fresh, flame grilled food whenever you want it. (Even the full size models pack up neatly and fold away for true ease and convenience.)
Not got the money for a barbeque? You’d be amazed. A table top barbeque will just set you back the price of a steak dinner! Just beware: buy one and the steak dinners are going to be on you for the foreseeable future!
You’ll even find that today’s barbeque comes crammed with additional features for true ease and cooking convenience – utensil shelves, heat resistant handles, warming racks, chopping boards, ash trays, trollies and more.
With porcelain coated grill plates, real wood surrounds and stainless steel features, charcoal barbeques are more stylish than ever. With individual size, family size and king size models to choose from, charcoal barbeques are more adaptable than ever. With adjustable grill heights and windbreak lid functions, charcoal barbeques are more practical than ever. Charcoal barbeques have always been the first choice among al fresco aficionados, but now we can all enjoy a ‘barbie’ world lifestyle with none of the hassle. Charcoal barbeques are quick to light, easy to use and always popular with guests; getting the best out of your ‘barbie’ is going to be a cinch.
Just light the coals a good three quarters of an hour before you start cooking and you’ll have no problems – just a ‘bonzer barbie’ that’s full on flavour and light on fat. That’s right, dispense with the sausages and burgers and you can enjoy the healthy option. Flame grilled chicken, fish and vegetarian dishes cook up wonderfully on the barbeque; you can even try a little lightly toasted fruit.
Whatever and whenever you cook, you’ll want to make the most of your barbeque. After all, they’re not just for summer any more; they’re portable, easy to store, easy to clean and easier than ever to use. Rust proof, robust, hard wearing – built to last a lifetime of family feasts – that’s an awful lot of steaks, flame grilled to perfection; not to mention all the mouth watering kebabs; juicy vegetables, melt in the mouth potatoes...
Barbeque cooking doesn’t have to be a chore; with charcoal it’s a gas!
