James Smith's summer-ready barbecue tips
1
Remove the cover and give it a good clean! Then season it by using your choice of cooking oil and run on a medium temp for 30 minutes. This will keep any burger patties or meat from sticking to it when you use your barbecue for the first time this summer.
2
Do your research when trying new recipes and experiment with them before you have any guests over. Last thing you want is to leave people chewing on a tough piece of meat or even worse, a burnt one.

If you aren't already then look to spice up your barbecue game by switching to a charcoal or wood smoking grill. Low and slow American barbecue is very popular at the moment and it's a great twist to the Kiwi sizzler on the gas barbie.
