As sizzle season fires up, it’s time to turn up the heat on your BBQ game. Here’s a quick cheat sheet to help you brush up on your grill skills.

Go beyond the flames

Experiment with out-of-the-box grilling techniques like cedar planking and smoking to create more complex flavour profiles.

Saucy Secrets

Discover the magic of seasonal fruit and herb-infused marinades, rubs and glazes (and get ready to take your BBQ flavour to another galaxy).

Tools of the trade

Key accessories like skewers, baskets and mats are your go-to's for taking your BBQ to the next level.

Prep like a pro

Pro tip: use aluminum foil packets or trays for cooking more delicate foods like veggies and fish. This method helps lock in flavour – plus you won’t lose any food sticking on the grill.

Veg out

Don’t underestimate the deliciousness of grilled fruits and vegetables. A slow sear is key, so take the time to allow for caramelization of sugars to really bring out the flavour.
