Don?t Forget the BBQ Essentials

No matter what you?re cooking, a few essentials will help your BBQ run smoothly. You?ll need the right fuel ? wood pellets for Traeger grills, charcoal for Kamado Joe, or gas for Pit Boss models. Firelighters or a chimney starter can make lighting quicker and cleaner.

A good set of tools goes a long way. Long-handled tongs, a reliable meat thermometer and heat-resistant gloves will make prep and cooking safer. Cleaning gear such as a sturdy brush or scraper ensures your grill stays in top condition. You?ll also want serving platters, chopping boards and a drinks cooler close by.

Stock Up on BBQ Food Favourites

The star of any barbecue is the food. Inside Polhill Garden Centre, Cottage Farm Butchers offer a great selection of farm-assured meats perfect for grilling ? from handmade sausages and marinated chicken skewers to thick-cut steaks. All products are fully traceable and prepared to a high standard.

You?ll also find everything else you need at the Polhill Farm Shop, from fresh bread rolls and crisp salad to sauces, marinades and chilled drinks. It?s the ideal stop for anyone planning a BBQ menu from start to finish.
