The third part of our art of char grilling series is all about the perfect ingredients to a triumphant BBQ.

The recipe for a successful BBQ is as follows:

Ingredients

Suitable BBQ accessories such as long-handled tongs, a fork, a spatula, a sharp knife, a basting brush, serving platters, a grill brush, good quality protective gloves for handling live coals, and Heat Beads® drip trays.

To help you light your BBQ, 1 part of each – a Heat Beads® BBQ Quickstart Chimney, long matches, and Heat Beads® Firelighters.

1 part of wood chips
Due to the neutral flavour of Heat Beads® BBQ Briquettes, professionals and enthusiasts alike usually use wood chips to provide their BBQ food with a distinct smokey flavour. Woodchips are available from Barbeques Galore and should be soaked in hot water for 15-20 minutes before being placed on top of your Heat Beads® BBQ Briquettes, once they are fully ashed over and ready to cook.

1 part of drinks for the guests and chefs alike
Perhaps a cold beer or glass of wine to aid the chef, or as the cool weather closes in, perhaps even a steaming hot cup of soup!

1 part of guests ready to taste test your BBQ sensations (the lucky people!)

And finally, one 7kg bag of Heat Beads® BBQ Briquettes, of course!

These are all the ingredients required for a successful BBQ, which will hopefully add to your BBQ skills acquired over this series. Stay tuned for our last part of this series, which is our top 10 weird and wonderful BBQ recipes.
