How to prepare your barbecue:

Remember to clean your barbecue every three months
Make sure you clean it up after ever use
Don’t spend unnecessary money on the barbecue branded chips head to your supermarket and by the unbranded kitty litter. Works the same and cost much less.
Buy a gas fuse, it tells you how much gas is left in your tank so you will never run out.
Let your barbie heat up for at least 10 minutes before cooking anything on it.

Cooking on your barbecue:

Soft sausages need to be pricked with a fork or skewer before being cooked. Firm sausages can go on as is.
Porter house and rump steaks are the best for barbecuing. Oil and season before you put on the barbecue.
Marinate chicken before cooking otherwise it will burn. Make sure if you have a whole chicken you cut it up.
