Despite the last few summer being a wash out, the concept of eating outdoors with friends and family has increased dramatically over the last few years. Of course that restriction is not as bad as it once was with the increase in availability of the gas barbecue. For me and for many others though the only real way to barbecue is on a Charcoal Barbecue.

Eating out doors with family or friends has been increasing in popularity on a yearly basis, although very dependant on the weather. The introduction of Gas barbecues has meant that the slightest break in the weather is now an opprtunity. For me and for many others though the only real way to barbecue is on a Charcoal Barbecue.
The charcoal smell from a Charcoal BBQ, and the chargrilled taste, cannot be replicated by its gas counterparts, making the traditional charcoal bbq the prefered choice of many keen would-be outdoor chefs.
Finding the best place to have your Charcoal Barbecue positioned is always a good idea. The following pointers should help you when looking for somewhere to set up your charcoal barbecue:
Make sure there is nothing overhead that can catch fire like trees or washing lines.
Not too close to any building.
Flat level ground.
Good access or exit in case of a problem.
If you have pets it would be advisable to shut them away whilst cooking on your charcoal bbq.
When choosing the right spot for the Charcoal BBQ also consider what it will be like when all of the starving guests are in the same area. All of this will give you a idea of how much space you have available and also whether you want static charcoal BBQ or a Portable BBQ. There are many things that are fore and against both and only you can decide which is right for you.
Most people will go for a portable BBQ as they are convenient and easily put out of the way when not in use. Unlike a static charcoal BBQ, which has to be left to bear the brunt of the unpredictable british weather.
Now you have decided which type of charcoal BBQ you want and you have chosen the area that you are going to be using it in you can start to look around at the various types and designs that are available.
Safety is also of great importance after all it is a fire that you are playing with. Some of the portable BBQ's that are available are far too flimsy and are prone to collapsing or bending causing not just a fire hazard but also possibilities of burning. Go for a sturdy charcoal bbq with a good thick solid base. not only will it last much longer it will also be much safer.
Whatever happens though don't let your heart rule your head and just run out and buy the biggest and meanest charcoal BBQ that you can find. Remember, the bigger the Charcoal BBQ, the more charcoal you will have to put on it, which can often be very costly.
Now, although health and safety has already been mentioned it is the most important thing of all, just make sure the kids and pets are out of harms way, then crack open a nice cold beer and enjoy you charcoal BBQ.
