Here are some BBQ Planning Checklist for your party.
1. Grilling Equipment
The grill is the heart of any great barbecue. While grills come in all shapes and sizes and every backyard chef has their preference between gas and charcoal, the tools you need are all the same.
An investment in a good set of barbecue tools can last you for years. Ensure that you have a stainless steel spatula, tongs, and a grilling fork that can stand up to the heat. A basting brush will also come in handy, as will a flame-resistant glove and an apron. Don’t forget the extra gas or charcoal for the grill, either!

4. Meats, Sides, and Desserts
The menu for a barbecue can be as complex or simple as you want to make it. You can go with old-fashioned staples or show off your culinary prowess. Have fun with this part because it’s the focus of the entire day.

The Mains
Many delicious foods are perfect for the grill. While meat is often the first choice, there are a number of vegetarian options as well. Choose one or two mains to feature and save the other ideas for the next cookout.
No matter which you choose, it’s all about the seasoning. Also, be sure to review proper grilling technique and cooking times to ensure everything’s done to perfection.
