Do you want to make your backyard the perfect spot for tailgating and socializing? BBQ grill and smokers are an excellent way to create a great BBQ experience in your own backyard or any outdoor space. With the right BBQ set up, you can do large or small gatherings, hosting friends and family for a fun-filled day of eating, drinking, and celebrating. In this article, we’ll explain what you need to consider when curating your perfect BBQ grill or smoker set-up for your backyard!

Consider the size of the grilling and counter space area

When creating a BBQ or tailgating oasis in your backyard, one of the most important decisions you’ll make is choosing the right size grill with a perfect amount of counter space and storage areas. A grill or smoker can be an amazing addition to any outdoor living space, but if it’s not sized correctly for your needs, it can quickly become a nuisance or discourage you from using it. 

Before you make a decision on what grill to purchase we encourage you to take some time to consider how you plan to use your BBQ (ie, are you planning to host big gatherings or just grill for your family at home) and then determine exactly how much grilling and counter space you need. This will ensure that you have enough room to comfortably cook without feeling cramped, this is especially true if you invest in some handy grilling accessories. Plus, having the right size BBQ or smoker makes hosting larger gatherings easier since there’s plenty of room for all of your guests’ food!

Select a BBQ made with durable materials

When it comes to creating the perfect BBQ for your backyard, selecting the right materials is essential. Not only do you want your BBQ to look great and last a long time, but you also need the counter space and storage areas that you pair it with to be durable enough for regular use and outdoor conditions. You’ll want to select materials that are weather-resistant, easy to clean, and safe for food preparation – such as stainless steel or stone countertops. Additionally, make sure all of the components of your BBQ are made from high-quality materials that won’t corrode easily or require excessive maintenance over time. 

By choosing quality materials you will ensure that you have both an attractive space for tailgating at home with friends and family as well as one that can stand up against wear and tear over many years!

Opt for putting your BBQ in an area with good ventilation

Placing your BBQ in an area with good ventilation is essential for any successful grilling experience. Good ventilation around your grill is critical for safety so that you are not subjecting you to dangerous levels of carbon monoxide!  It also helps to maintain the flavor and aroma of your food as it will help to disperse smoke and odors away from the BBQ or smoker so that they don’t linger in the air, on you clothes, or on the furniture, making it a cleaner experience overall. Additionally, good ventilation can help reduce the risk of fires by releasing heat away from the BBQ so it doesn’t cause any sparks or embers. 

Having a BBQ with a good ventilation system will also make grilling much more enjoyable as you won’t have to worry about smoke setting off your smoke detector every time you light up! With all these benefits, it is clear why considering the ventilation around your BBQ is key for anyone who wants to enjoy flawless backyard grilling experiences!

BBQ-ing is a great way to enjoy tailgating at home and and makes spending quality time grilling for your family a breeze.
