We all master the barbecue at different times in our lives, some young and some old. Our survey for B&Q uncovered the age people usually master the barbeque is 38.
The study of 1,000 adults also found to master the barbecue you must own all the correct utensils, be unflappable under pressure and never let food fall onto the coals. Over half the nation believe the tools they have impacted their barbecuing ability and many reckon they could have conquered the grill four years sooner had they had the right kit.
Londoners claim to be the most talented grillers with two in 10 classing themselves as “masters”’, but those in the South West and Wales host their first barbecue at the youngest age – 29.
Here are the top 5 signs you are a master of the BBQ. 1, timing all the food perfectly. 2, knowing where to place different meats and vegetables on the grill. 3, keeping calm whilst cooking. 4, cooking dishes which aren’t just burgers and hotdogs. 5, making it look effortless.
This survey was part of a project with our partners, 72Point, reaching a coverage views tally of 466K whilst appearing in national publications like; The Independent, Daily Star and Daily Express.
